Uploading Images

Sitebuilder Image Gallery supports images in *.jpg, *.gif, and *.png formats. To ensure correct operation of the module, we do not recommend uploading images of more than 3 MB in size.

To upload one image at a time:

1. On the Image Gallery page, click Image Upload on the Images tab.
2. On the Main Properties tab, enter an image title in the Name field.
3. From the Position in list list, select under which number the image should appear on the page.
4. Click Browse, select an image file on your computer and click Open.
5. Click Upload. The uploaded image is displayed in the Preview area.
6. If you want to provide a short description for the image, click the Description tab and enter a text of your choice.
7. Click OK.

At this stage, the list of categories is empty. After you add some categories, they appear on the Categories tab and you can refer the image to a desired category or to several categories.

Sitebuilder provides a possibility of batch image upload, allowing to publish many images at once. You can upload the images from your local file system, and perform a group resize operation on them. The maximum size of the batch is determined by the disk space on the publishing server.

To upload multiple images:

1. Arrange the images you want to upload in one folder on your computer.
2. On the Image Gallery page, click Multiple Image Upload on the Images tab.

   Multiple image upload requires ActiveX Control to be installed in your browser. If the required component is missing from your browser, you will be prompted to install it. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the component.

   If you fail to install required components, click the If you do not see the Multiple Image Upload window, click here shortcut to open simplified image upload dialog where you can upload 10 images at once.

4. Select the images you want to upload.

   • If you want to create a new category for the images, select Create new category and type the category name in the field that appears.
   • If you do not want to refer images to any category, select No category.
6. If necessary, from the Resize large images to list, select the dimensions the uploaded images should be resized to.
