OK... So I've tried some things and have not had much luck...
I am using the Deliver template...
Within
/user/pages/02.portfolio/
I have a file called modular_alt.md which points to the folder _portfolio
Within _portfolio I have images and a file called portfolio.md
I modified portfolio.html.twig so that images do not open in a lightbox instead they open a new page as defined in portfolio.md. The content within this links to the below page I made. I would be making several more pages like this and linking them from this page. This aspect is working.
Within
/user/pages/02.portfolio/2-dark-wallpapers
I have a modular_alt.md file (points to _portfolio)
I also created a _portfolio folder that contains about 10 images and a file called wallpaper.md (which is pulling in wallpaper.html.twig). The wallpaper.md is a copy of portfolio.md and as yet I have not modified wallpaper.md as I am ensure what to put inside it in order to get images to auto appear. wallpaper.md contains some text I want on this page in particular.
Within
\user hemes\deliver emplates\modular\
I copi ed portfolio.html.twig and renamed it to wallpaper.html.twig (mainly because I have modified portfolio.html.twig already to work with the page 02.portfolio as mentioned above). wallpaper.html.twig does not contain the changes I made to portfolio.html.twig so its the stock deliver portfolio twig file just renamed.
Now I know that I need to modify wallpaper.html.twig so that it automatically loads images into the page, resizes them into thumbnails and upon clicking them opens up a lightbox. I read the Learn section but could not figure out the media part to make it work like I want to. I've tried replacing some elements in wallpaper.html.twig with what I have found in this forum but usually I ended up breaking this page entirely.
