Before starting
To open a community's media gallery, from the community's Overview page, click View All in the Media Gallery widget or select Media Gallery from the left navigation.
About this task
The Media Gallery page displays thumbnails of all the multimedia content in your community's media gallery. You can see who uploaded each file and when the file was last updated. You can also see how many people have downloaded or commented on a file, and preview photos or videos using the gallery previewer.
Procedure
- Choose from the following options when viewing media gallery content:
- Use the Sort by options on the top left of the page to sort content by date or by most commented.
- Use the Display options on the top right of the page to display the multimedia content in gallery format or list format.
Tip: Choose list format if you want to see how many times a file has been downloaded or find out how many recommendations a file has received. More sorting options are also available from the list view. For example, you can sort by popularity and recommendations as well as by date and most commented.
- Use the Show options on the top right of the page to filter the display to show photos only, videos only, or photos and videos together.
Note: Community owners can configure the Media Gallery widget to display content of one type only, videos or photos. In this case, the option to filter the media gallery content by file type is not available.
- Click a thumbnail to open the file in the previewer.
From the previewer, you can:
- Use the arrows on either side of the dialog to view the rest of the thumbnails in the current view. You can also use the Left Arrow and Right Arrow keys.
- Click Go to summary under an image to access more advanced options for working with the file.
- If you are viewing a video file, click the Play arrow to play the video.
- Click a file name to view detailed information about the file and access more advanced options for working with it. For more information about what you can do with media gallery files, see Work with media gallery content.
