 Activating the Gallery
You will notice that as an administrator, there has now been a link to the Gallery added in the navigation links at the top of the page. Managing the public GalleryIn 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  Add a category
 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.
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.
