Components are a great way to re-use content you have already added to your site elsewhere.  The Gallery Component lets you pull through any Gallery from your website and display all the Albums it contains. You can output the albums as a clickable grid, or a list. 

Pre-requisite - You will need to ensure you have previously created the Album within a Gallery on your site.  

Inserting the Component

1. Select Blocks / Components in the Edit tab:
   
2. Select Website content > Photo Gallery:
   
3. The Photo Gallery Block window opens:
   
   • To display a title above your component, check Include Title, and enter the title text.
   • Select browse to choose your Source gallery. A tree view of your site will open, listing items with existing galleries. Use the tree to choose the gallery you want to embed in your page, then select Select.
   • Select your Template from:
     • Grid - Each album in your chosen gallery will be displayed as a block in a grid layout.
