1. Add images category

Here you can create categories of images. All images are grouped in categories and you should create image category before adding images to a gallery.

When you create new images category you should fill in the following fields:

ID - ID number of a category. Digits only.
Name - name of the images category
Description - short description of the category for administrative use only. You may leave this field blank.
Priority (000-999) - priority of displaying categories in administrative panel.
Active - Yes/No. If the category is inactive images from the category are not displayed at the site.
Number of images on page - the number of images from the category per one page. If the number of images exceeds the number of images per page they will be displayed on several pages automatically
Small image width, pixels
- width of a small image in px
Big Image width, pixels - width of a big image in px
These parameters of width for Small and Big Image work for jpg and jpeg images. If you set these parameters then thumbnails of the images will be created automatically. Thumbnail images width is the width you set before, thumbnail images height is defined automatically.

For example if you upload only big images with the width of 800px all small images will be created automatically from the big ones. Small images width will be 100px.

You can set any width as needed.
You may create as many images categories as it's necessary for the site.

Note. Thumbnail is available for jpg and jpeg images only. If you upload images of other types your settings for images width will be ignored. Images will be displayed with the same size as you uploaded.

Here is displayed the list of all created image categories. You can edit any of the categories by clicking Edit.

2. If you want to use Auto resized image then you can upload only big image and a small one will be created automatically. In this case you should upload images through the field Auto resized image.

Auto resized image supports only jpeg, jpg images.

You can see the list of images uploaded to the category below the fields for images upload. New images appear there with the upload. If you have to change the category select another at the upper dropdown menu [Image category]
