Hi all

I have been looking for a solution to my issue here in the forum, but couldn't find any...

The thing is, that I need to create an image gallery, so I have installed the GLightbox module as well as the Mosaic Grid module.  The Mosaic Grid can be used in Views to generate a block of images that are arranged in a grid.

I have successfully created a gallery with fields of the custom type 'gallery-image',  and a layout to display the block created by the view and mosaic grid.  It looks the way I had hoped, however, the gallery-images displayed are not limited to the ones of the node of a specific gallery, but rather the complete collection of gallery-images across all galleries.  So all galleries I create seem to contain the sum of all images in all galleries...

I could configure the filter in the view to include only the gallery-images of a specific node, but then I would need a view for each node/gallery - and that doesn't seem right...

How do I limit the view to provide a block containing only the gallery-images of the node in which the block is displayed?  Or is there an entirely different approach, that would do the trick?

Hi T. Larsen.

If I understand this correctly, you have overridden the node/% layout and have placed a Views-provided block to display the images of the node being viewed. Right?

This is how it can be done.

  1. In the View that provides the block, add a Contextual filter: Content: nid
  2. In Block settings > Contextual filter input, click edit and select "From layout" and then Required context: Node

That's it. That block will now use the layout context (node) to provide a contextual filter, only showing the currently visited node.

Hi Argiepiano

That was exactly what I needed!  

Thanks a lot for your feedback - now I can get the last part of my migration from Drupal 7 completed.
