Hi,

Perhaps this plugin could do this:

> I took a stab at creating a plugin that can organize a bunch of images into somewhat of a gallery. See a screenshot of it in action here: Screenshot here: [[Imgur] ](https://imgur.com/SltBEKN) This doesn’t handle displaying images in lightboxes, instead it wraps the existing Discourse lightboxing that occurs on images. You can customize the size the images get scaled down to. Usage is like this: [image-gallery] \
\ [/image-gallery] Re…
But it seems not functional in the recent version of Discourse:

When the tags are used on a new post, I can’t save it as it gives me “Internal Server Error 500”. I will include the production.log error message as soon as possible as I can get to my devbox.

See my [Gallery Plugin: working and supported](https://meta.discourse.org/t/image-gallery-plugin-working-and-supported-version-2-0-2015-07-09/29874).
It scrolls the images in a popup. An example here: [«Gallery» plugin (version 3.1, 2016-12-11) - Discourse Plugins](https://discourse.pro/t/topic/34#image145)

I wanted similar for my forum - so here’s something I prototyped yesterday afternoon. Works great and no plugin needed. Just a few lines of js/jQuery and a couple of external library links.
Works with Lightbox too, so when you click on images, up pops the Lightbox window. It can also be quoted and the carousel still works. It can autoplay too.
It’s probably, edit: definitely, not at the same level as pro plugins offered elsewhere here, but it works for me.

Any plans on sharing the excerpts needed? I’m sure there woud be quite a few others interested in your implementation as it does look quite nice.

Sure, I’ll post a link when I go live. Just working through some styling issues - and how to signal when a gallery is required, rather than leaving the post as is. Currently galleries replace standard posts if the category has Gallery in the category name and the topic/comment has more than two images. Far from perfect but works ok.
