Gallery

It is easy to embed photo albums in your portal using the gallery.

The application element belongs to the "Images and files" element category.

The gallery element can be found in the "Applications" module in the "Elements" area. A new gallery can be created by positioning the element on the workspace from here using drag & drop.

Further information on creating elements can be found here.

The properties dialog of a gallery element opens automatically when a new gallery is created. The properties dialog of an existing gallery can be opened by double-clicking on the element on the workspace, via the context menu "Properties" or via the main menu "Edit / Properties" if the gallery is selected on the workspace.

If you are using a gallery on an application page, please deactivate the "Use table layout" setting on the "General" tab in the properties dialog of the page.

General

Give the gallery a title. Information on multilingual titles can be found here.

Show gallery in Lightbox mode

With this setting, a preview of the images is displayed first. Click on an image to open the gallery view.

The gallery in Lightbox mode requires a different view page than a gallery that does not have this mode enabled.

If a view page was previously used simultaneously by the old gallery type A and type B, this cannot be patched automatically during an update. In this case, a message is displayed in the "Problems" section of the application. A new view page must then be manually created for the gallery in Lightbox mode.
