Pages limited to 100 content blocks?

Runner0789

I'm trying to create a Page with a running list of new photos and events from a given year (say adding a new photo/text every couple days) and after about 100 items, it doesn't seem to allow any more content blocks to be added to the page.

It would be nice to just have a single page such as "2014" instead of "2014 - Part 1, 2014 - Part 2" etc. so I was wondering if there is any way to get around this arbitrary limit? Thanks.

The only thing I can suggest is maybe use a Journal-style gallery instead? You could use titles/captions on the images to explain each photo.

Hi, yes I did think about trying that, the problem is then it is just a regular gallery which has its own set of limitations -- namely you lose the control of placements, titles, additional text, other content blocks etc.

It would be nice if these arbitrary limits were simply removed or if there was around to get around it.

I may have to give this a shot. Is there a way to increase the title font and have the title appear above the photo as opposed to below?

Because this can get out of hand quickly with the enormous amount of data, I think you'll have to spit it up.
Create a top page for "New Photos and Events", kinda like an index.
In an html block
2013 > Jan Feb Mar ...
2014 > Jan Feb Mar ...
2015 > Jan Feb Mar ...
...
Then link each month to that months "New Photos and Events" page.

OR (probably more realistic) create a page to show all years

Add a "folders, galleries and pages" block for each year. Title each year block.

2014 "New Photos and Events"
<< block with that years Jan-Dec month pages >>
2015 "New Photos and Events"
<< block with that years Jan-Dec month pages >>

Yep, try adding a CSS content block to the page like this:

.sm-gallery-journal .sm-tile {
    position:relative;
    padding-top:50px; /* Reserve space at the top of the image for the title */
}
.sm-gallery-journal .sm-tile-title {
    position:absolute;
    top:0;
    left:0;
    font-size:30px !important; /* Adjust title font size here */
    line-height:1;
    max-width:none !important;
}
