CIS and the Web Team have now completed the development and testing of a new, exciting Contensis CMS web control. The Image Gallery.
Although the control was out-of-the-box, meaning already built by Contensis for all its users, the Web Team have done substantial work on turning it into a CCCU branded image gallery that fits into the current look and feel of the web site.
The way it works, is that the web author creates the image gallery control on his/her chosen page and "points" it at a specific image folder. The control then looks at that folder and automatically creates thumbnails, which are smaller versions of the images. When you then click on the thumbnail, it displays a bigger version of the image.
Not only have the Web Team implemented this control, but they also provide you with a choice of two gallery types. The Advanced Gallery and the Simple Gallery. And you will be able to simply switch in between them with a few easy clicks in the CMS. This new template will be released to you before the Christmas break.
There is a user manual available upon request from the Web Team. Just leave a comment or email us at cis[dot]support[at]canterbury[dot]ac[dot]uk.
