CHEMICALS PAGE - GALLERY TEST
I created a standard grid gallery. Using CSS, I forced these to allow a description to be included in the Title area, and included a forced line break to split the capped title from the text below. The only negative here is I can’t do any stylistic callouts (bold, italic, font size); so this is literally as good as this can look.
ALSO AVAILABLE GALLERY TEST:
Same structure here - just created a text block for the Title, then created a simple grid gallery below, manually adding the images and titles. This looks very similar to what we use currently.
NOTE:
If we implement these workarounds throughout the site, we can delete at least 35 content pages from our site project. This is a huge plus, as the number of pages impacts stability and load times. I think the benefit of removing ourselves from their buggy summary db grid plugin and relying on tied-and-true core functionality is worth the time it will take to implement this sitewide. :) T
