How do I create a photo gallery?

The Hunter WebCMS allows you to create a photo gallery as a way to display several images on a single page.

You can include as many images as you'd like in your gallery, but only 12 images will be displayed per page.

Click here to view an example of a photo gallery.

To create a new photo gallery:

  1. From your subsite's homepage, click on the Contents tab.

    Add Event (1)
  2. Click on Repository.

    Upload Image (2)
  3. Click on Images.

    Upload Image (3)
  4. In the green toolbar, click on Add New..., then select Image Repository. This new repository will serve as your gallery.

  15. Now that your photo gallery is set up, you can add an alias to the location in your subsite where you would like the gallery to appear, or use a superlink to add a link to the gallery to your site's navigation menu.

    Note: When using an alias to display a photo gallery in a different location, the pagination at the bottom of the page will not work properly. Therefore, use of an alias is only recommended for galleries with 12 or fewer images.
