This is a great block for a photo gallery. The installation from the marketplace had the language set to Dutch. You can get translations from http://highslide.com/forum/. To make it easier, the downloads section contains the English translation and detailed instructions on installation.

Cheers,

Smart Web Projects has a few blocks that are worthy of your attention. Today I'm going to look at their "Twitter Search Feed" block available at: http://www.smartwebprojects.net/concrete5-blocks/twitter-search/ .

When you unstuff this archive you will get a folder called "blocks". This tells you where to put the enclosed folders – into your root/blocks folder.

Here is a view of the two folders.

Inside you will find the typical concrete5 block files:

After you have downloaded the files below that I have modified you'll be able to have better control over the presentation of the twitter data. Unstuff the archive I have provided. Copy the template folders from each of the containing folder to their corresponding folders in your concrete5 installation. Then copy and paste the css file into you themes "styles.css" file. The main css file may be named differently but it will NOT be the "typography.css" file. It may be called "main.css".

Your folders should look like the above example after you have installed them on your server.

Next, your installation with default settings for these two blocks will look something like this:

and after you apply the new templates (and have your css updated) they will look like this:

Now all of the presentation styling of these blocks is contained in the new code in your core css file.
