dynamic content - Create File Galleries

Here we show you how to create file galleries. File galleries give you the ability to make files available to your visitors. These are then displayed as a link and point to the file. If the files are images or PDFs, clicking the “link” will open them in a new browser tab. Furthermore, a visitor to your site can easily download and save these files in order to view them at any time.

This guide is part of the Content Types. We show you how to create content in general under Create and Edit Content.

Step 1: Select the Content Type “File Galleries”

First, select the content type “File Galleries”. This should open a window with the heading “New File Gallery”.

You can now upload new files by clicking the “Plus” icon with the adjacent label “New”. Two methods of uploading are available: you can select files individually or upload multiple files via drag & drop.

Step 4: Edit Descriptions

In the overview you will then see the files you have uploaded. An automatic description has already been generated for each file based on the file name.By double-clicking on the respective file, you can edit it. This gives you the ability to adjust the individual descriptions.
