Using the Gallery

WEBSITES ARE BEING MIGRATED TO AN IMPROVED GALLERY SYSTEM. FOR THE UPDATED INSTRUCTIONS SEE HERE

Galleries are edited from the front-end website, not the manager.

The gallery for a website normally comes in one of two layouts, but is essentially the same system.

  1. A traditional gallery with a matrix of image thumbnails below optional text content.
  2. A short series of thumbnail images down the right side of a page or news item

In both cases the layout and size of thumbnails and larger images (clicking on a thumbnail will display a larger version of the image) are fixed for simplicity. Titles and descriptions can be added to each image and the order of the images can also be changed.

NOTE: Using this gallery system images are automatically scaled for the website and so images can safely be loaded straight from a camera.

Managing Images

  • After authentication, by logging in to the manager, return to the website frontend and a Manage pictures button will be displayed on the page or next to an individual news item.
  • Click the Manage pictures button to display a screen where images can be uploaded to the gallery, sorted and labeled.
  • Browse for one or more images on your PC using the yellow/orange section towards the bottom of the page.
  • After selecting the image(s) click the Upload pictures button.
  • After the image(s) have been uploaded you can return to the normal website page by clicking the Back to normal view button at the top left of the screen.

Titles, Order and Deleting Gallery Images

  • Click the Manage pictures button to display a screen where images can be uploaded to the gallery, sorted and labeled.
  • To title an image simply add the title to the associated image in the Title field. Try to keep this title short.
  • A longer description can be added to the Description field which is only visible when the thumbnail image is clicked on.
  • The order of the images can be changed by either clicking the Sort pictures button at the top of the screen and dragging to the desired order. Or numeric values can be entered in to each Position field.
  • To delete an image check the Delete checkbox against the desired image.
  • After changing the title, description, marking images for deleting or changing the order make sure you click the Save changes button at the top of the screen.
  • You can now return to the normal website page by clicking the Back to normal view button at the top left of the screen.
