Adding/Managing Gallery Panels

The gallery panel tool lets you add an array of images (each with a headline and caption) to each Event Website. You may find this useful for displaying speakers, entertainers or participants for your Events, or you could also use it to display testimonials or features/benefits for an Event.

By default, we provide you with a gallery panel in every new Event Website, and you can modify, move or delete this panel as well as add additional gallery panels to a site.

Also, by default a gallery comes with 6 items, to which you can add an image, headline and caption. You can add additional items by clicking on the "Add New Item" button next to the panel. You can also remove as many of these items as you wish by clicking on the "Remove" button above the item.

To Add a Gallery Panel to an Event Website:

1. Click on the "Event Website" tool button on the Event Dashboard - OR - use the Quick Launch tool to select the appropriate Event and the "Event Website" tool.
2. Click the "Add New Panel" button.
3. Under "Add Other Panels", select "Gallery Panel".
4. The new panel will be added to the top of the Event Website and you can move or modify this panel using the panel controls next to the panel.
