• Under Modules (Extensions) / Extension Settings, download the file gallery_rb.ocmod.xml (for opencart 2.x) or gallery_rb.ocmod.zip (for opencart 3.x) from the module folder. For Opencart versions 2.1 and 2.3, the FTP accesses should be specified in the System/Settings section of the FTP tab. This extension requires the output of the module using a shortcode in the description of products, categories or articles.

Gallery settings

• In modules, click the edit gallery icon opposite Gallery RB. The module settings page will open.
• Specify the size of the previous image. In any case, the module will stretch or visually compress the picture to the width of the column. The width of your preview should be approximately equal to the width of the gallery column. This option does not allow you to adjust the margins between images.

• For text on images, you can set the background and transparency of this background.

• At the very bottom of the page, you can add images for your gallery, add a description to them (using a visual editor)
• The gallery can work as a photo album, when you click on the thumbnails, large photos will open.

Thus, the gallery can work as banners. You can add links to youtube, vimeo to images. The video will play in a pop-up window. Video links should look like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1i3QLck0UD0
