Hi - If you want to display your Images/Files in Slideshow Gallery, you can check the code here from w3schools: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/tryit.asp?filename=tryhow_js_slideshow_gallery

I tried this on my Details Page and it worked!

I just inserted the style tag in my Header and the body code is in HTML Block. 

Header:
 

<style>
/* Position the image container (needed to position the left and right arrows) */
.container {
  position: relative;
}

/* Hide the images by default */
.mySlides {
  display: none;
}

/* Add a pointer when hovering over the thumbnail images */
.cursor {
  cursor: pointer;
}


/* On hover, add a black background color with a little bit see-through */
.prev:hover,
.next:hover {
  background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);
}

/* Number text (1/3 etc) */
.numbertext {
  color: #f2f2f2;
  font-size: 12px;
  padding: 8px 12px;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
}

/* Container for image text */
.caption-container {
  text-align: center;
  background-color: #222;
  padding: 2px 16px;
  color: white;
}

.row:after {
  content: "";
  display: table;
  clear: both;
}

/* Six columns side by side */
.column {
  float: left;
  width: 16.66%;
}

/* Add a transparency effect for thumnbail images */
.demo {
  opacity: 0.6;
}

.active,
.demo:hover {
  opacity: 1;
}
</style>

HTML Block: 
 

<div class="container">
  <div class="mySlides">
    <div class="numbertext">1 / 3</div>
    <img src="[@field:Image_1/]" style="width:100%">
  </div>

  <div class="mySlides">
    <div class="numbertext">2 / 3</div>
    <img src="[@field:Image_2/]" style="width:100%">
  </div>

  <div class="mySlides">
    <div class="numbertext">3 / 3</div>
    <img src="[@field:Image_3/]" style="width:100%">
  </div>
    

  <div class="row">
    <div class="column">
      <img class="demo cursor" src="[@field:Image_1/]" style="width:100%" onclick="currentSlide(1)">
    </div>
    <div class="column">
      <img class="demo cursor" src="[@field:Image_2/]" style="width:100%" onclick="currentSlide(2)">
    </div>
    <div class="column">
      <img class="demo cursor" src="[@field:Image_3/]" style="width:100%" onclick="currentSlide(3)">
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Footer: 

<script>
var slideIndex = 1;
showSlides(slideIndex);

function plusSlides(n) {
  showSlides(slideIndex += n);
}

function currentSlide(n) {
  showSlides(slideIndex = n);
}

function showSlides(n) {
  var i;
  var slides = document.getElementsByClassName("mySlides");
  var dots = document.getElementsByClassName("demo");
  if (n > slides.length) {slideIndex = 1}
  if (n < 1) {slideIndex = slides.length}
  for (i = 0; i < slides.length; i++) {
      slides[i].style.display = "none";
  }
  for (i = 0; i < dots.length; i++) {
      dots[i].className = dots[i].className.replace(" active", "");
  }
  slides[slideIndex-1].style.display = "block";
  dots[slideIndex-1].className += " active";
}
</script>

Result:

You can now select and show different photos in your DataPage. I hope this helps!

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share a new solution for Viewing images or Touch Sliders if you have multiple images in your Details/Report Page. You may try using this jQuery lightbox of Swipebox:

You can also use this to open video URL's from YouTube.
