Image Galleries

See FILE GALLERIES instead from Tiki 3 onwards In Tikiwiki 3.0 Image galleries are being phased out in favor of a combined/improved File Galleries section which handles all file types. For new tiki installation, See File gallery instead.

Image galleries are collections of images. If the Image Gallery feature is enabled in your Tiki installation, you can create public or private galleries and upload images to them from your local hard drive or another Internet URL. Tiki automatically creates thumbnail versions of your uploaded images; you don't have to do so yourself. Galleries can be used for photo albums of course, but also creatively for other applications such as product "showrooms".

Feature Overview

The following is a short list of Image Gallery features:

• Enable or disable the Image Gallery feature.
• Set display of listing fields, such as description or created date.
• Make a gallery public or private, and control its permissions.
• Create, modify and delete galleries.
• Adjust auto-thumbnailing settings.
• Set the number of thumbnail rows and columns.
• Categorize your galleries.
• Upload images from URL or disk. (NOTE: To upload a lot of pictures at once, upload a .zip file containing all of your image files and tikiwiki will automatically unzip the image files and enter them into the gallery for you).
• Override auto-thumbnailing by uploading your own thumbnails.
• Enter a name for your uploaded image, or, let Image Gallery use the filename.
