how do I set up and use the masonry gallery? I've searched for it in gallery objects and main objects section but just can't find any reference to it to be able to use it.

Any help will be great!

Cheers

Hello Anthony,

The Masonry Object is not covered in the official help file (in common with the other Optional Objects).

https://answers.websitex5.com/objects/livepreview/39976c19-3123-4a69-b368-3abb553df8f

The fields in the Object properties are largely self-explanatory, but if you can be more specific as to what you are having particular difficulty with then we will try and assist further.

Kind regards,

Paul

thanks Paul. Yeah, i've studied the preview, but in X5 I've loaded a gallery object, and now I am trying to find the masonary style within the gallery style or effect options to continue - I just don't see it anywhere....

The Gallery Object and the Masonry Object are two completely different and separate entities.

To use the Masonry Object you need to select it from the 'Galleries' section of the Objects Management screen in Step 3, then add it to your page.

From there you use the Masonry Object's own properties screen to add the images you wish to use, and the style, etc.  -  the Gallery Object is not involved in this process at any point.

Hope that helps...
