Hi

I am building a site that has a photo gallery. I am using colorbox to display the images when clicked. However, instead of having all the thumbnails on screen I was wondering if there is a way I can display them in a carousel effect.

So for example, I have 10 thumbnails but I want to place them in a small area that would only allow 3 to be seen at a time. I want the user to be able to scroll back and fourth through the thumbnails and then use colorbox to view the selected image.

I have played with various options but they all seem to display the larger image above the thumbnail, instead of a colorbox popup. Is there an option/module that would help that maybe I have missed?

Thanks

Maybe you want:
galleryformatter
flexslider

I tried galleryformatter but couldn't get it to work without showing the main image above the thumbnails. However I looked at Flexslider and as much as I couldn't get the module to do what I wanted I did download the jquery from the site and was able to customize.

Thanks for pointing me in that direction.

Probably you already found what you need, but I think the Owl Carousel will do what you want.

Yes, very old thread, things happen ;)
Let's add Slick carousel as an alternative.
Owl carousel uses variables to store data, Slick carousel uses CTools plugin which is Drupal 8 CMI.
