# For editors {#editors}

## The module "Galleries" {#editors-module}

All galleries are maintained in **Content > Galleries**. The start
view shows every gallery as a card with cover image, position, number of
images, category and visibility. Search, the filters **All**,
**Visible**, **Hidden** and the sort order help with many
galleries.

## Create a gallery {#editors-create}

1.  Click **New gallery**.
1.  Fill in **Title**; optionally **Description**,
    **Photographer** (used as credit for images without their own
    author), **Date taken** and **Category**.
1.  Save and close. The gallery appears in the module.

## Upload and sort images {#editors-upload}

1.  Open the gallery and click **Upload images**.
1.  Drag images into the upload area or choose them from your computer. A
    progress bar is shown per file; files that cannot be processed are
    listed with the reason (e.g. unsupported format or too large).
1.  Back in the gallery, drag images to change their order – the website
    shows them in the same order.
1.  Click an image to edit its title and caption. A text like
    `(c) Jane Doe` in the title or caption is shown as credit.

Supported formats: JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC (converted to JPG if the image
processor supports it). Images are reduced to the configured maximum size
on upload; location data (GPS) and other EXIF data are removed.

## Hide and delete {#editors-hide-delete}

-   The switch on an image or gallery hides it on the website without
    deleting it.
-   The bin deletes an image. Its file is removed as well if it is not
    used anywhere else.
-   **Preview** opens the gallery on the website (page set in
    `previewPid`).

## Show galleries on a page {#editors-content-elements}

In the page module, add a content element from the tab
**Plugins**:

-   ****Gallery****

    Shows one gallery. Choose it in the tab **Gallery**.

-   ****Gallery overview****

    Shows all galleries – or only those of one category – as tiles. A click
    on a tile opens the gallery on the same page, with a link back to the
    overview.

Options in the tab **Display** (both elements):

-   ****Layout****

    Mosaic in rows, grid, mosaic in columns or large cover image and grid,
    see [Layouts](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/conratwebsolutions/crgalerie:layouts@main).

-   ****Images shown at first (0 = all)****

    Default 12. Further images appear after a click on
    **Show all X photos**.

-   ****Text below the images****

    None, caption, image title, or image title and caption.

-   ****Order of the images****

    As in the module (ascending or reversed) or by title.

-   ****Overview tiles** (only overview)**

    Title below the image or on the image.

The header of the content element is shown above the gallery; the gallery
title gets the next heading level.
