Organizing Images into a Table
I'm a really new user of Foswiki....And would like to organize images into an organized table or something that resembles a square/rectangle.
I successfully installed and enabled the
ImagePlugin but found the organization limited to the align="..." tag. So I tried out the
ImageGalleryPlugin which created nice thumbnails of the images but just rowed them up and produced a slide show type screen when I clicked on one of the images, complete with forward and back arrows. Then I started with the
TablePlugin, and since I've done a little HTML in the past, I thought I could just insert the link for the image within the
WikiSyntax |...| for table cell, but that just caused the image to be displayed in front of the table and not at all neatly in the third column where I had wanted to put it.
This is what I want to be able to do:
1. Organize
WikiUsers images in a nice employee gallery a.) without having to manually link every single person into the gallery and b.) have it look nice in a sort of structured table, instead of a never-ending scrolling nightmare
2. I'd like to be able to choose individual images from different Topics (I can do this with
ImagePlugin) and have them displayed in a nice table in a separate Topic document
I'm not much of a programmer but there's got to be a way to call "all profile images" from web
WikiUsers and have it generate a table.... Please advise
For the second one, is it the
ImagePlugin or
TablePlugin or something else that I should be using so that the images display in a movable compact unit like a table?
Thanks in advance!

Answer
Display of user images is included in
PersonalInfoAddOn (topic PersonalInfoFaceBook).
Another way to show pictures from a set of topics is using
AttachmentListPlugin.
Problem with tables is that you need to know how many columns you need, and format the result with this number of columns. This is currently not supported by these extensions.
