Sector Media Gallery offers a simple and easy way to add a media gallery to your site. Included is everything you'll need to get going - a media gallery content type, categories, and a media gallery landing page via a Drupal view.
Sector Media Gallery is an optional Sector add-on. This Sector add-on can be downloaded and installed via the Sector Media Gallery project on Drupal.org or using composer. Sector Media Gallery components and configuration make it easy to get started, and the sample content makes it easy to grasp the main features.
Required Drupal contribution modules
- Sector Media Gallery has dependencies to - and requires components from - the Sector Starter Kit 8.x-2.0-beta5 or higher.
In addition to Sector, the Media Gallery add-on requires:
- The Image Effects module to allow for aspect switching image cache presets
- The Slick Carousel and Slick Views modules for the carousel display
- A core patch to fix for global view counter within the gallery listing views. Sparks Interactive developers are currently active in the Drupal issue queue pushing to get this patch into core.

Check out the media galleries landing page on the Sector demo, including two sample galleries.
