Is it possible to add some arrows to ms2gallery and use it as carousel?

Question

I have project on modx and there is used ms2gallery to show images. And customer want to add some arrows(prev, next) to use this ms2gallery as carousel or slider. Is it possible to build-in this functional into ms2gallery? If not could you advice something to solve this task?

Answer 1

You can use the pdoPage snippet for just this purpose. Here's the example form the ms2Gallery documentation:

[[!pdoPage?
    &element=`ms2GalleryResources`
    &parents=`0`
    &tpl=`@INLINE
    <p>
        <a href="[[+uri]]">[[+pagetitle]]</a>
        <a href="[[+120x90.original]]"><img src="[[+120x90]]" title="[[+120x90.name]]" /></a>
    </p>
    `
    &typeOfJoin=`inner`
    &includeThumbs=`120x90`
    &includeOriginal=`1`
]]
[[!+page.nav]]

You will need to add some extra properties to the snippet call to get more than one result. All the available options and several examples are documented on the pdoPage readme.
