Stage 7: Upload and Organise images into Galleries create a primary link to see the images

Go to "administer - image galleries" and make sure you have at least 2 galleries. If not click "add gallery" to add more.

Upload your first image by clicking "create content - image" where you will see a simple form.

  • Give the image a title.
  • Select a gallery for the image
  • Browse to your "My Pictures" folder and select the image you wish to upload.
  • Enter a brief description
  • Click "Submit"

Repeat this so you have at least 6 images uploaded and with at least 2 in each gallery.

To allow visitors to your site to see the galleries, you need to create a new link in your Primary Links menu.

Go to "administer - menus" and under the "Primary Links" section click "add item".

  • For "Name" enter "gallery"
  • For "Description" enter "Gallery"
  • For "Path" enter "image" (please ensure all lowercase)
  • Do not tick "Expanded"
  • Leave "Parent Item" as "Primary Links"
  • Leave "Weight" to "0"

Click "Submit"

You will now have a new menu link on the top right of your site which links to your galleries.
