Post featured images gallery - what section?

[oinegue1960 0]

Hello, I'd like to create a page featuring a 'grid' gallery of posts featured images. Ideal section would be 'carousel', as it allows to retrieve posts featured images, but it's a... carousel, not a gallery. Is 'nextgen gallery' the only way to do that or I have another option by Pagelines sections? Where nextgen would be the only one option do you suggest to put the shortcode in a box in order to easely customizing the gallery's position in the page? Thanks.

Okay, for the grid, try : http://www.pagelines.com/store/sections/grid-portfolio/ There are numerous premium sliders, carousels and other options you can use. Among them are: http://www.pagelines.com/store/sections/kenburner-slider/ and others. When you can't find one in our Store, try http://www.wordpress.org/extend/plugins or http://www.codecanyon.net/wordpress There are many great options out there. You're not limited by PageLines Framework to the current carousel or slider.

Thanks rangelone for the quick reply. I agree, grid-portfolio is a very interesting premium section and it would give the grid I need. I'm still working on the test website for a project that it's not yet approved so it'd result premature to invest more resources over Pagelines theme at this step. What about my second question on nextgen shortcode in a box? Thanks.

I haven't tested it, but some shortcodes don't work in regular boxes. If you test it and it doesn't work, try installing the Boxer plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/boxer/ (free) which does accommodate shortcodes. In fact, you add it to a content area with a shortcode. As I mentioned earlier, there are plugins at WordPress.org that are free.
