Create an Auto Image Gallery

This help topic will show you how to create an Auto Image Gallery page using some of your existing images.  If you haven't done so already we recommend you create some images in the Image Library before continuing.  Please please return to the Help Topic Index if you need help with images.

 

Before starting these steps, make sure you have the
'Pages and Content' section selected in the Base Module.

 

Step 1: Select the category that contains the page you want make into an image gallery page, and select the page from the items.  If you need to create a new page see the Add a new Website Page help section.

 

 

When you select the page, you will see the page settings for the selected page in the right area.

 

 

You will see a setting called 'Page Type', and you will see the current page type listed below it.




In the image above, you can see that the page type is current 'Custom Page'.

 

Step 2:  Open the Page type list by pressing the down arrow at the end of the list, you will see it open up as shown:

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3: Select Auto Image Gallery (Thumbs) from the list above.

 

Step 4:  Press the Page Type Settings   button to open the settings. 

 

This will open up the settings where you will see a list of your image categories on the left.  These are the exact same image categories that you have in the image library. 

 

You will also see some options top right, and any selected categories for the image gallery on the bottom right.

 

 

 

Step 5:  To add an image category to this gallery page, select it on the left and press the add category  button.  Do this for all of the categories that you want to include on this gallery page.

Any images in the category you select will automatically be added to the image gallery.  Any time you add or remove images from these categories using the Image Library, the website will automatically update.  So you don't need to repeat this step each time.

Step 6:  Enter the options you want to use.  You can enter how many images you want to show per page.

Step 7:  Press the 'Accept' button. 

 
 

Step 8. Save the page by pressing the save  button. 

 

Step 9.  Preview the live page with the page preview button.  The website page will open in a new window showing us the current page. 

 

The page will now show you a thumbnail gallery of all of the images in the categories you selected!  You can select any image to get a bigger view.

The Image Gallery thumbnails can be styled in your template, using the Template Design section.
