Hi Mark,
everything works, with this method you can let users vote for the best image such as i do with rockgallery like? Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks

Nope, It's a freebie particle... if you want that then add the functionality yourself.

Hello, Mark!
I installed Montage Particle.
Complied with all the instructions.
A separate template is created for the required pages, named Default - Gallery.
Several images are uploaded to the catalog: images/test
I get an error on the page (at the bottom of content):
Directory not found!
Looking ahead: I would like to try to modify the Montage Particle to display images from the Articles in a new incarnation, from additional Fields.
Look at the top of the page: a list of images attached to the Article displays there.
At this point, just as a list of files.
I'll try to do it myself. I hope I don't bother you with questions. ) - — We don’t put dates, with a date the document becomes invalid.

It's because you gave the images a file extension of "JPG" (capitalised) instead of the conventional "jpg" (lowercase). So, I just tweaked the TWIG file to accept those formats too. Now it works.
As a general principle on webserver you should not use uppercase letters, special characters, or spaces in file names.
The whole point of the montage particle is that it reads a directory containing images - trying to alter it to to read information from Joomla articles extra fields would be completely the wrong thing to do and you would have to start again from scratch. Please also note that this will require some complete PHP, TWIG, HTML, SCSS and good knowledge of the inner working of Joomla to achieve. Nevertheless, good luck with that.
Regards, Mark. -

Perhaps, I will try to understand the ways of creating Particles not earlier than Christmas and New Year holidays...
Mark, thank you so much!
Your answers are always both helpful and inspiring to new knowledge and creativity. -

Mark! This is awsome... I wish I saw it two weeks ago!
I got it up and running with your excellent direction...
If I want to round off the corners, where would that override go?
I did it where I though it should go, but I only ended up rounding off the hover image
btw.. I noticed a typo in your twig.. it's shows 1 2 3 5 5 6 7 8 9 10.
I WAS able to fix that one Lol -

Thanks Ron. I have updated the ZIP to fix that little typo in the YAML file.
For your rounded corners Use this code...
Adjust radius to suit your needs..g-montage-item .g-montage-link img, .g-montage-item:hover::after { border-radius: 1rem !important; }
To create a custom CSS compatible with Gantry 5 please read this http://docs.gantry.org/gantry5/tutorials/adding-a-custom-style-sheet .
Remember to recompile CSS from base outline too.

Hey Mark,
I have a request!
How hard would it be for you to kinda merge your Monrate particle with Content Tabs?
I would help in any way possible!
This should explain what I mean:
This image is hidden for guests.
Please log in or register to see it.
Thank you for all your support!

That doesn't sound like the right thing to do?
I think all you are saying is that you want tabs to show different montage particles? If that is the can create the separate montage particles as modules and then create another customhtml module (or particle) to give yourself the tabs and then use joomla's {loadmodule xxxx} to embed those modules in the tabs...
... that should work ok.
Either way I won't be adding this functionality to the montage particle.
