Q: How do I add the photo gallery module to my site?

A:

Notes about the Photo Gallery:

1. Users are able to upload images to the photo gallery if the gallery is a sub-page of the Members Area. All photos they upload will automatically be hidden until an Administrator activates them.

2. Your photos will display in the order that they are uploaded.

3. The first three photos will be displayed in the set listing page.


Adding the Photo Gallery



Navigate to the Pages tab in the admin.

In the left navigation look for the 'Add Photo Gallery' link and click it.

Clicking the link will add a page to your site that represents your gallery, however it won't be live on your site until you change the 'Page Status' to visible. You can do this now or after you have uploaded some galleries and photos. On this page you can change the title to something else like "Pics", "Galleries", "Event Photos", etc. You can also change the page filename to match your new title. When you are finished click 'Save Page' in the corner of the page.

Now navigate to the Modules tab in the admin.

Click the 'Photo Gallery' link on the left navigation

Clicking the '+Add Set' button at top of the workarea will slide down a form for you to enter a name for your new Photo Set. A Set is simply just another name for a collection, album or event of photos.

Your sets will display in a list. On the right side, you can edit the name of the set or delete it. If you click the name of the set you will be taken to a new page that shows all the photos of that set.

Clicking '+Add Photo' will slide down a form that allows you to browse to a picture on your computer and add it to the set. The green checkbox below an image allows you to show/hide the photo. A green border around the image means the photo is visible on the frontend and a red one means that it is hidden.
