For editors 

The module "Galleries" 

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 

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

Upload and sort images 

  1. Open the gallery and click Upload images.
  2. 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).
  3. Back in the gallery, drag images to change their order – the website shows them in the same order.
  4. Click an image to edit its title and caption. A text like (c) Jane Doe in the title or caption is shown as credit.
Gallery view in the module with numbered image tiles

Images of a gallery: drag to sort, switch to hide, bin to delete.

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 

  • 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 

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.
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.
