Creating a File Gallery

Before you can start uploading files, you must create file gallery that will contain the files.

To begin:

  1. From the Menu module, select File Galleries > List Galleries.
    File Galleries menu.
  2. The Galleries page lists all of the galleries on the site. Currently, there are none — let's create one now.
    File Galleries page.

     Note

    Although there are no file galleries, Tiki does display the images that you uploaded previously (when editing wiki pages).
  3. Click Create.
  4. Use the Create a File Gallery page to create a new gallery. The Create a Gallery page allows you to specify the options for a specific file gallery.
    Create a Gallery page
  5. Enter the following information in each field on the Properties tab:
    • Name: Enter a name for this gallery.
    • Description: Enter a detailed description of this gallery.
    • Wiki markup to enter...: Use this field to configure the default wiki syntax that Tiki will use when importing an image (or any file) from this gallery).

    Leave the other fields as their default.

     Note

    Be sure that Type is set as Any file — this will allow you to upload images, documents, etc. If you want to store podcasts (audio or video), you must select the specific Type.
  6. Click the Display Settings tab. Use the Display Settings tab to specify the information that appears when viewing the gallery.
    Create a Gallery page
  7. Click Save. Tiki saves the information, then displays the gallery (because the View Inserted Gallery option was selected, by default). Your first file gallery!

Now let's add a picture to the gallery...
