How can we create a simple gallery in a CMS page?

[roubos]

Hi,

been looking online to find out how to create a gallery on a CMS page.

Isn't there a way to do it? Do we have to purchase a module for this?

 

I mean Prestashop already has the ability to display a gallery since that's how it displays the products in the product pages.

 

I did find a tutorial for an older version of Prestashop (I'm using version 1.6.0.14) , which required editing core files.

 

So is it so much trouble to add a gallery? Just like the product page one, but on a CMS page with as many photos as we might need? Simple list of thumbnails with popup on click.

 

Any information and help is appreciated.

Amazing. Prestashop is so powerful and yet something so simple is not available. The facility is already there. Products have their own gallery, why isn't there a gallery module build in?

I know we could purchase a module, but I prefer to avoid using too many extra modules that are not part of core Prestashop.

 

Can we create custom code and add it to a CMS page?
