This block was designed to display a large number of images without taking up too much space.

Use Cases
- Displaying logos for corp. sponsorships
- Display logos for career outcomes and internships
- Image galleries when you want to display 4+ images without taking up much space.
...
Checkbox that shuffles the order of the images on load. Most useful when you're using a swiper, and don't want to show favoritism to the first few images.
Randomize After
This field only appears if Randomize Order is checked. Prevents the first X images from randomizing, in case you want to feature the first few images but want the rest random.
Anchor ID
Sets id of the block.
Additional Notes
This block is the first time a component included code that used the Column Structure fields to calculate the approximate image widths for optimization purposes.
Here's the code snippet for how it was done.

//columns $columns_xs = get_field('columns_xs'); $columns_sm = get_field('columns_sm'); $columns_md = get_field('columns_md'); $columns_lg = get_field('columns_lg'); $columns_xl = get_field('columns_xl'); //Calculates approx. image widths in vw (viewport width) based on column sizes //these are calculated for the purpose of defining the sizes="" attribute for the img html //so that the browser picks the correct size image to load from the srcset //the calculated sizes aren't precise, and are often overestimates, but it's close enough! //it also sets all the values for the $columns_ variables, in case they were defaulted at 0, for the swiper code. $min_cols = 1; //sets min number of columns. if($columns_sm) : $min_cols = $columns_xs; else: $columns_xs = $min_cols; endif;//sets min columns to # xs columns if defined. if not, $columns_xs will be set to min columns. $xs_image = ceil(100 / $columns_xs); //xs screens, 0-575px if($columns_sm) : $min_cols = $columns_sm; else: $columns_sm = $min_cols; endif; //sets min columns to # small columns if defined. if not, $columns_sm will be set to min columns. $sm_image = ceil(100 / $columns_sm); //sm screens, 576-767px if($columns_md) : $min_cols = $columns_md; else: $columns_md = $min_cols; endif; //sets min columns to # med columns if defined. if not, $columns_nd will be set to min columns. $md_image = ceil(100 / $columns_md); //md screens, 768-991px if($columns_lg) : $min_cols = $columns_lg; else: $columns_lg = $min_cols; endif; //sets min columns to # large columns if defined. if not, $columns_lg will be set to min columns. $lg_image = ceil(100 / $columns_lg); //lg screens, 992-1200px if($columns_xl) : $min_cols = $columns_xl; else: $columns_xl = $min_cols; endif; //sets min columns to # xl columns if defined. if not, $columns_xl will be set to min columns. $xl_image = ceil(100 / $columns_xl); //xl screens, 1200px or more |
This block is also the first time we used Column Structure in combination with the Swiper. The code snippet above, combined with the code in the breakpoints parameter of Swiper JS below, is how this was accomplished.
