Create New Photo Gallery

Creating an image gallery asset is a two-step process. First, create the asset, where you fill out basic information. Then, upload the images into the asset and sort and caption them before saving and publishing.

 

To create an image gallery asset:

1. Navigate to Content > Assets.
   
2. Click the green +New button.
3. Select "Image Gallery."
4. An asset name is required. Start the name with the name of your office, then a title and date. Example: 鈥淗uman Resources 鈥� Retirement and Recognition Luncheon 2020鈥�.
   Description and tags are optional, but tags can make it easier to find when searching for an asset to place on a page. Checking "Lock to site" means the asset can only be used in the site where it was created.
5. Leave assess setting as is.
6. Set the gallery options.
• Ignore the thumbnail options.
• Advanced: 
• For the Carousel Gallery, insert: 鈥�Carousel鈥� or leave it blank. This is the default option.
• For the Filmstrip Gallery, insert: 鈥�Filmstrip鈥�. You can set the height on the filmstrip gallery by inserting something like 鈥�Filmstrip-400鈥�. 400 would be the pixels high. This number can be what you set.
• For the Column Gallery, insert 鈥�Column鈥�. You can set the number of columns by inserting 鈥�Column-3鈥� for 3 columns. You can also set it under Column-4, Column-5, or Column-6.
7. Click Create to make the asset.
8. The "Images" panel is now available.
9. Click +Add to upload photos to your gallery, or drag them into the window from your computer. There is no option to use images already in OU Campus; you must have the images you want to use as files you can upload.
• These images also cannot be edited once uploaded, so make sure they are cropped or otherwise modified appropriately beforehand.
10. For each image, add a title and description. Ignore caption and click-through link. The only required field is description, for accessibility purposes.
11. Images can be removed by clicking the "X" in the top-right of each image box.
12. The order that the images are placed within the gallery determines the order they display on a page. To change the order of the pictures, drag and drop them into place.
13. Once finished, click Save.

Your asset is now available for use on pages, but must be published before it appears on any live web pages.

5. However, when you preview the page, the asset content is displayed.
6. Publish the page for your changes to appear on the live website.
