How to use the Gallery 09615175912 Managing the public Gallery

In this gallery, only the administrators can add or classify the public categories and albums.



    Creating the public Gallery


First, you must create categories, which serve to group albums according to the themes of your choice.
Note: a category can also contain photos.

For "Gallery root", you click on How to use the Gallery Ajouter Add a category


  • Then, give it a title (e.g. : The Staff of FM), a description and a photo associated with it.
  • Then, choose the parent category. Don't touch it if you want it to be attached to the root.
  • Save.

Once that's done, you need to upload your photos, but there may be many files in a single category so you can create albums or other categories to sort all your photos.

In our example, we could for example create some albums (e.g. : an album 'Support Moderators' ; an album 'Graphic Designers', etc.) in the category 'The Staff of FM'. Note : an album may contain photos.


Administration Panel How to use the Gallery Arrow10 Modules Tab How to use the Gallery Arrow10 Gallery How to use the Gallery Arrow10 Management


For your category (in our example : The Staff of FM), you click on 'Add an album'

Like the category, you fill out the fields and set the permissions for the album, then validate the settings.
Note : permissions are not available in the free version of the gallery.
