Silverstripe 2.3

First, follow the instructions for the installation of the DataObjectManager, and swfupload. Run a /dev/build, and place the image_gallery folder in your Silverstripe root. Run another /dev/build.

After creating a new ImageGalleryPage in the CMS, the a new folder will be created for your ImageGallery in:

assets/ImageGallery/MyImageGalleryPage

You may now configure your ImageGallery on the Configuration tab.

• Album cover images (width and height): The width and height of the album cover images displayed on the main page of your ImageGallery

• Thumbnail size / Normal size: The size, in pixels, of the thumbnails and full-size images, respectively

• Number of Images per page: The number of thumbnail images that will be displayed on each page of the ImageGallery

• Popup style: The javascript popup UI that will be used to display the full-size images.

All images must go into an album. By default, a new ImageGallery page creates “Default Album” for you to start adding images. You may modify its title or leave it as is. Saving the album will create its folder in:

assets/ImageGallery/MyImageGalleryPage/MyAlbum

After having created the albums you wish to use, you may add Images to them on the Photos tab. Select the album you wish to upload to in the dropdown menu on the right-hand side. If your album does not appear or if the list is outdated, hit the refresh button.

Click the “Add Images to [Album Name]” button, and go through the upload/import process. If an image comes in with the wrong aspect ratio, use the Rotate feature.

After you have uploaded all of your images, you can manage them in the ImageGalleryManager. Use the image resizing tool to get a closer look at your images, or to give it a more macroscopic view.

If you only have one album in your gallery, the ImageGalleryPage will bypass the album view and go straight to your album view.
