Creating an Image Library

Updated
  1. On the Images page, click Create a library.
  2. Enter the name of the library.
  3. To add a description of the library, click Click to add a description.
    • NOTE: The information you provide here is not public, it is for your reference only.
  4. Under URL name of the library, The automatically generated URL of the library appears.
    • To change it, click Change and enter a preferred URL name.
  5. Under Parent library, choose where to create the library:
    • No parent.
      • This will be a top level library that has no parent. Referred to as a root library.
    • Select parent library…
      • A treeview with existing libraries opens.
        Select the library branch level that will be the parent of the library you are creating.
        A library you are creating will be located within another library, and assumes the settings of its parent.
  6. If you specified your library as a top level library, the Root library settings options are enabled. Expand that section to specify:
    • Resizing of images - Use images as uploaded or scale them to each fit within a selected size limit.
    • Browser caching - Caching typically increases performance. Select from the following for what you want for optimal caching:
      • As set for the whole site.
      • No caching
      • Standard caching
      • Long caching
      • No explicit caching
    • Thumbnails - Images can be displayed as 'thumbnail' of original images that the user clicks to expand them to full size. At library creation, you can choose one or more thumbnail sizes for each image in the library. In an existing library, choose the library's Actions item Thumbnail settings.
    • Maximum album size - Constrain the library to a specified integer number of megabytes (MB).
    • Maximum image size - Constrain the images to a specified integer number of kilobytes (KB).
    • Storage provider - Select whether images are stored in a database or in the file system.
    • Server caching - For the site's server, the default values are Enable caching: Yes, Duration: 2 min, Sliding expiration: Yes You can adjust these values by navigating to Administration > Settings > Advanced settings > System > Output Cache Settings
  7. When you are finished creating the library, click one of the following:
    • Create and go to upload images
    • Create the library and proceed to upload images.
    • Perform procedure in  Upload images.
    • Create and go back to all images
    • Create the library and return to the  Images page, or the Image Libraries page (depending on where you initiated creation of the library.)
    • The Back to link
    • Discard the library, and return to the Images page, or the Image Libraries page (depending on where you initiated creation of the library.)
