How to

Create a photo gallery

Part 1: Create a photo gallery index block

1. Upload your images to the Shared Assets website in the CMS. Each gallery must have its own folder.
2. Re-order images manually if needed—they will appear in the gallery in the same order as in the folder.
3. On your site, create a Photo gallery index block . By default, this asset will be created in the _internal/blocks/index/photoGalleries folder.
   Select Add Content then Photo gallery index block from the main toolbar. (If you don't see this option, contact us .)
   
4. Fill in the Display Name and Title fields (use the event name and year for clarity).
5. In the Index folder field, select the folder where you uploaded your images.
6. Leave all other setting unchanged.

Part 2: Add the photo gallery index block to the page

1. On your site, create a new page or edit an existing page.
2. Create a new Section and select Photo gallery as the Component type.
   
3. In the Photo gallery index block field, select the photo gallery index block you created in Part 1.

How to

Batch/bulk upload several images

If you have several images you want to upload, you can batch or bulk upload them all at once.

1. Move or copy all of your images on your computer to a folder. Ensure that your folder and image file names do not contain any spaces or special characters.
2. Compress or zip this folder on your computer.
3. Follow the instructions to Upload multiple files at once (including zip files) .

For bulk-uploaded images, be sure to edit each image and add proper metadata for AODA compliance. Photo gallery captions use the text from the Description field.
