Components are a great way to re-use content you have already added to your site elsewhere. The Gallery Component lets you pull through any Gallery from your website and display all the Albums it contains. You can output the albums as a clickable grid, or a list.
Pre-requisite - You will need to ensure you have previously created the Album within a Gallery on your site.

- If you would like to display a title above your component, tick include title, and enter the title text.
