Creating Photo Gallery

Follow these instructions to link the photo albums you created to a gallery page to display them:

1. Go to the Website tab

2. Navigate to the section where you want the gallery page to be stored. For these specific sports galleries you could either do that within a couple different sections depending on where you want that page to be stored:
   In the photos section with a season section (/sports/mbkb/2023-24/photos)
   Within a season section (sports/mbkb/2023-24)
   Within the sports section (sports/mbkb)

3. Click add here on the right side of the page and select Headlines as the content type

4. Enter the Name for the page which will show in the backend and in the URL for that gallery page. Enter the Title which will show as the heading at the top of the page (2023-24 Men's Basketball Photo Albums).

5. Click Continue

6. Under Pages allowed select Headlines. Under Sorting select the sort rule you want to use. Page date is the most common one that is used to sort them in chronological order. Then click Save Settings

7. In the Add featured page field click the gray box next to it to select a photo album with the file selector. The URLs for photo albums uploaded through the Photos tab in GameDay will follow this URL path convention: /sports/sportname/season/photos/albumnumber/index. For example, the first album that you uploaded for men’s basketball in the 2023-24 season would have a URL path like this for the album page- /sports/mbkb/2023-24/0001/index. Those album sections can be renamed by going to the photos section for that season in the website tab and click edit details on the album number section.

8. You will need to select the file named index within each section for the photo albums. Once you do that click Add to connect it to the page.

9. Repeat that process to connect additional photo albums. If you want to adjust the photo albums so you can manually sort them either click the pin icon on the right side of the page for each album or select all of them and click the Stick button.

10. Click Save Changes
