Gallery widget: photos as a grid on your page
The gallery shows your images as a grid with three images per row. Visitors tap an image and see it large. You can add the gallery to any page – profile, venue, crew, event series and event – up to three galleries per page. It can be added by the page’s owner and by its admins and moderators.
For a single picture with a caption and credit there is the Image widget.
How to create a gallery
- Tap “Edit” in the bar of your page, then “Add widget” or one of the “Widget” buttons between the tiles.
- In the “Content” group choose the “Gallery” tile. “Add gallery” opens.
- Drag your images onto the field “Drag images here or choose them” or tap “Choose”. JPG, PNG and WebP are allowed, at most 80 MB per image, up to ten images in all. Once images are in, you can drop more onto the strip “Drop images here · … left” below them.
- Wait until each image is uploaded and optimised. At the bottom you see, for example, “Uploading image (2 of 4)”.
- Describe each image in the field “Describe the image for screen readers” (up to 200 characters), for example “Dance floor of Die Alte Werft in strobe light”. The description is read by people who cannot see the image.
- Put the images in the order you want by dragging them by the grip.
- Optional: enter a heading under “General”.
- Tap “Insert”, then “Save” in the bar at the top.
Every image gets a description for people who cannot see it.
Descriptions in several languages
Images and order apply to every language. Only the descriptions are written per language: switch to that language’s tab at the top. On your page every image needs a description in every language in the bar; if one is missing, the image shows “Description missing” and “Insert” isn’t possible yet. If you want to offer only one language, remove the other through “Manage languages”.
How much is visible
Under “Preview”, “Visible without scrolling” sets how many rows the tile shows – with “Fewer rows” and “More rows”, up to 3 rows or “All”. The default is 2 rows, that is six images. Visitors reach the rest by scrolling inside the tile.
What visitors see
Visitors see the grid with your heading. Tapping an image opens the full view. The tile crops every image to a square from its centre; the full view shows the whole image. The gallery is public, like the rest of your page.
This is how the gallery looks on the page.
When something doesn’t work
- “An upload failed.” – Tap “Try again” on the image or remove it.
- Images aren’t added – The gallery holds at most ten images. EDM Hub tells you which files were left out. Files that are too large or in formats other than JPG, PNG and WebP are refused too.
- “Insert” does nothing – The bottom line says what is missing: “No image yet. Add at least one.”, an image is still uploading, or a description is still missing for a language.
- “Already on this page” – The page already has three galleries. Add to one of them or remove one.
