Sitebuilder Plus: Add an Image Gallery

good answer

Captions can be added only if you use the Photo Gallery tool. See steps above.

Handy little BUT is there some way to put the photos in a folder? They take up too much space otherwise. Thanks!!

If you go to the file manager screen, you can create folders and organize images or any other files into the folders. However, If you move any images that are already on your site, it will cause an error on the live site because it changes the file path to that particular file. You would then need to remove the broken image from the page, and add it back on using the correct file path.

The photo gallery, creates thumbnails for you, so this is the easiest way. If you want to manually create them, then you'll need to add the pictures to the page in one size, and then create links to the actual image files, and make sure the image files are imported at the size you need them to open up in.

Yes, if you go into the File Manager, you can create folders and store all the images in a single folder. However. If you've already created a photo gallery, moving the images into a new folder will break the images on that page, so you'll have to delete, and then recreate the photo gallery selecting the images files from their new location.

You don't actually add a folder to a page. You'll just add the images the same exact way as before, except when you get the pop up window to select the image files, you'll have to click on the folder you created and select the image from within the new folder.

yes, but it's a two step process. As I mentioned above, you'll first have to create the folder in the file manager. Then, you can either use the import button at the top of the File Manager page to import the files, or most browsers (I like Firefox), will let you drag and drop images from your computer right into the new folder you created in the file manager. Then, once you have them all in the File Manager, you would then add them tot he page individually. There's not a way to add images in bulk to a page.

There's not really a better, way. It's just that some people fine it easier to organize certain files into certain folders. For sites that have hundreds of images this can be helpful. For smaller sites it usually doesn't matter.

See step #7. Instead of adding more galleries, you just need to add pictures to an existing gallery.

Thank you, after 20hr and writing my questions ----I got it figured out !
