[Qgis-user] ideas/examples of atlas/report with multiple pictures for each object?

[Voisard François]

Hi all,

I am looking for ideas/examples how to create a report (or an atlas) where for each object (e.g. public gardens) we have a variable number of photos (let's say 1 up to 9) that we would like to display.

The photos are named and stored so that we can fetch them by an expression like this:
@project_folder  || '/photos/' || "object_id" || '/basename_' || "picture_id" || '.jpg'

The issue I run into is that I would need a loop to get all the photos in the object_id folder and that depending on the number I'd probably have, one up to three pages with photos depending on the layout.

A very simple example of a layout would be like this : https://sitn.ne.ch/web/diffusion/tmp/qgis_atlas_example.png

Any suggestions how to approach it? Report or atlas?
With an HTML element block maybe?
Any existing examples?

Many thanks for your help and best regards,
