File Gallery

File Galleries enable secure and efficient uploading, storage, downloading and other serving of all types of files including images, videos, podcasts, text and PDF documents and more. Various views of files are possible such as lists, thumbnails and page views. Simple wiki syntax enables displaying files in wiki pages, articles, blog posts and so on, for individual files or multiple files such as in an image slider. A Tiki site can use either the standard Tiki interface or elFinder interface.

File Galleries

The file galleries feature can be a site repository or download manager for all types of files: images, video, audio, podcasts, text, software (releases, patches, docs), etc., etc. Files uploaded into file galleries can easily be displayed or linked from wiki pages, articles, blog posts, and other content.

File galleries are created and configured through the admin interface. Use the permissions system to specify who can create galleries, upload, download and delete files, etc. Statistics are kept of each download. You can produce stats for the most downloaded files, most visited file galleries and last uploaded files. Files can be replaced with a new version, with archived versions still available.

File Gallery to produce image galleries
File galleries have been improved in a way that they can handle images also, and act de facto as image galleries, or podcast galleries, etc., with added features on them. This is to end up in newer tiki releases reducing code duplication between file galleries and image galleries, and users confusion on where to save and find files (whatever type they are). In the same way, in later Tiki releases, file galleries might also handle file attachments to wiki pages, ...

File Gallery diaporama
Improved file gallery diaporama.

Moreover, File galleries are closer to replace image galleries, since they include most (if not all) the previous functonality from image galleries, and benefit from the improvements in the file galleries.
