Hi There,

As you will see from my question, I have very limited coding knowledge, and therefore appreciate your help and patience.

I installed the kirby gallery field [Kirby Gallery Field](https://forum.getkirby.com/t/kirby-gallery-field/4636).  
I can select images in the panel field, so that works fine. Now I cannot figure out how I can add the gallery field to kirbytext.

I would like to be able to just add the field within kirbytext, similar to the image field  
(image: example.jpg)

Is that possible? What do I need to make it work?

Thanks for your help.

Best,  
Julien

I should maybe say that what I am looking for is a simple slide show, instead of a single image

The gallery plugin you mention does not come with a kirbytag, check out this alternative: [https://github.com/wottpal/kirby-lightbox-gallery](https://github.com/wottpal/kirby-lightbox-gallery)

If you use bootstrap, this might be interesting as well: [https://github.com/julien-gargot/kirby-plugin-carousel](https://github.com/julien-gargot/kirby-plugin-carousel)
