Creating a Gallery

A Gallery Content Item is used to display a series of pictures (using the Picture Content Type) that are already stored in the CMS database. In order to create a Gallery, you must use the HTML-gallery.tpl.php and pass a parameter which references a part of the filename of your series of images.

The implication of this is that the title of each of the images within the series must contain the parameter.

  1. We will create the Gallery first. Create a new menu item (or use the backend Content Folders screen).
  2. Select to use the HTML content type. Create a content item with the HTML-gallery.tpl.php template.
  3. Click on the Template Details icon in the toolbar. Edit the Template Details and look for a "search_param" parameter (Skip to Step 4 if this parameter exists). If it does not exist, we need to create it.
    1. To create a parameter, go to the Admin Control Panel, select Templates, and edit the settings for the Gallery template.
    2. To insert a parameter, click Edit and then Add Parameter. You must call the parameter "search_param". Save the new details.
  4. On the Content Item's Template Details, enter a parameter value that contains the keyword within your series of image titles.
  5. The gallery will now display all images that have the parameter value in the item's title.
  6. To upload a picture that will be visible in the gallery, create a new menu item (or use the backend Content Folders screen) to create a Picture Content Item and ensure the title contains the parameter value.
