Main layout options for displaying photos
Contact sheet with lightbox
This layout displays a large main image and other gallery images below the main image:
If someone clicks on a photo, a large photo will be displayed in lightbox:
If you want to display photos on the left side of the listing info, there is an additional Thumbnail alignment setting where you can choose so.
Contact sheet linked to separate gallery page
This layout displays photos on the listing detail page identically as the previous layout. The only difference is that clicking on the photo redirects visitors to a separate gallery page for this listing. This option is better if your listings will have many photos.
By default, photo caption and other info are displayed below the gallery. If you want to display them as an overlay on top of the photo, there is an additional Display photo info as overlay on mouseover setting.
Full width gallery without lightbox
This option displays full width gallery directly on the listing detail page, below listing info:
Small gallery with lightbox
This option displays small gallery next to the listing info. Clicking on a photo displays a large photo in lightbox:
Film Strip with lightbox
This option displays photos separately from the main image below the listing info. Clicking on a photo will popup a large one in lightbox (the same as Contact sheet with lightbox layout). The thumbnails of all photos will be outputted:
Film Strip linked to separate gallery page
This option will display photos the same as previous option, except the photos will link to the separate gallery page (the same as Contact sheet linked to separate gallery page). Only fixed number of photos thumbs will be shown on the listing detail page, others will be included only in the separate gallery.
Separating photos uploaded by listing owners from photos uploaded by visitors
If you allow visitors to add photos to listings without writing reviews, it is possible to separate those photos from listings submitted by the listing owner. The listing detail page will display two additional buttons, Listing Photos and User Photos that will link to separate galleries.
