Dear SharePoint experts,
We would like to ask on How to attached SharePoint 2013 Picture Library to other site. Kindly see the attached images for the screenshot of it. We only need the Picture Library and attached it to the space of the other site…
Thank you & hope to hear soon…

OK, tested the theory on my dev environment which is pretty much OOTB SP2013
upload the two files attached to a script library or site assets library
edit the txt file and enter the path to where you stored the files
In your pic library, create a new view using the thumbnail view as the template
Edit this new view and add a CEWP, link it to the txt file, set the chrome type to ‘none’ so it doesn’t display
when you reload the page you should only see the pictures
make a note of the URL and reference this in your page viewer webpart on the subsite
You’ll need to play about with the dimensions of the page viewer web part to make it fit without horrible scroll bars, but other than that it should work
>> Another option would be to create a new page with the thumbnail on and then use some custom CSS to remove all of the elements on the page except for the thumbnails, you could then use a page viewer web part from the subsite hitting this new, cut down page<<
– the problem is, “how” 🙁 how can I do it? or where to start? Sorry for that…
I suspect that level of functionality isn’t available out of the box…
the simplest solution is just to provide a link to the picture library instead
it may be possible to export the thumbnail view web part somehow and then add that on the site collection – i just had a very quick test in our dev environment and it didnt work unfortunately, but maybe with some tweaks and further testing it’d be possible (http://zepeda-mcmillan.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/cross-site-web-xsltlistviewwebpart.html)

Hi there Rob! Thank you for your kind response regarding to my query…
I did what you advise, but the problem is, the photos layout isn’t the same as the original.
Originally it has 8 photos per row, and have mouse hover effect. But using the Content Query web part, the lay out of the photos become 1 photo per row and the mouse-hover effect isn’t working…
As long as the you’re staying in the same site collection, you should be able to use the Content Query web part to directly hit the original list and render the results
Rob
