Content Type- How to create a photo gallery

A photo gallery can be used to display a selection of images on any page or template. When a user clicks on an image it will enlarge. They can then move through the images using the navigation arrows. If you enable it, users will also be able to download the images.
If you would like the images in the gallery to appear the same size you should ensure the images you upload are the same size or the same ratio. If your images are different sizes they will slot together and will not be in equal rows.  

To create a photo gallery:

  1. Select the page (WEBSITE> Pages> Pages) or template (WEBSITE> Pages> Templates) you wish to add a photo gallery to and click “+Add content” in the column you want the gallery to appear.  

  2. Click on Add content> Common> Images>+Add Photo gallery.  

  3. Give the photo gallery a title and tick the “Show title?” box if you want the title to appear above the gallery. Then select how the title should be aligned.  

  4. If you would like to add a description tick the “Add description?” box and add the description.  

  5. Select the image margin size.   

  6. If you would like to allow visitors to download the images tick “Include download icons?”. This will add a download icon to the images.   

  7. Click “Upload images”. You can then drag and drop images from your computer, click “Browse for files” and select the images from your computer, click “Media Library” where you can select images that have already been uploaded to Evessio.   

  8. Then click “Upload all”. Once all the images have been uploaded the Media Uploader window will close.  

  9. Once the images are uploaded they can be reordered by dragging and dropping them into the desired position. You can remove an image by hovering over it and clicking on the trash can icon. When you are happy with the gallery click “Save”.  

  10. Make sure the photo gallery is selected in the list and click “Add selected”.  

  11. Remember to Save and Publish the page.
