Setting Home Page as Album List (IV)

in Photon Posts: 36
Hi Guys,

Having troubling figuring out how to create a gallery that is displayed as the home page as shown in your demo under the title 'Album List (IV). I want this to be my homepage. I have created a title page and this appears in the menu as the default page but how do I get content onto there as your demo ?

I tried creating a gallery but it does not appear on this view.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks.

    Hello :-)

    So you mean this album ?

    Firs you have to create your album in bricks mode: http://apollo13.eu/docs/photon/#!/add_new_album

    Next you have to setup it as homepage :
    http://apollo13.eu/docs/photon/#!/adding_frontpage
    http://apollo13.eu/docs/photon/#!/what_to_show_on_front_page

    Hope this will help.

    With kind regards.

    Hi,

    Yes that is the page. I have created an page that is a album but it is missing some options such as "Album list options" or "Album Details.

    I cannot see these options. I create the page, set featured image after this where should I go next as I can't see the next options.

    Thanks.

    1. SO you create page or album, cause it is very big difference in WordPress?
    2. Are you working with Photon Theme on fresh WP install or some old?
    3. Can you send me picture how your album looks from admin side, and link to that created album on front end?

    With kind regards.

    When I will feel I need them I will ask you about them:-) There is no need for this ATM, as I don't have full story from you yet.

    Please answer questions form previous post.

    With kind regards.

    1. Create Page
    2. Photon on Fresh
    3. I have made this page my static front page. I cannot send main page link as I have not made the website live yet. I have added screenshots on the admin page site for you. Happy for you to login and take a look.

    Ok, so it is clear, you create page, when you want to create album. Read again chapter from documentation about creating albums that I gave you in first answer:
    Air said: Firs you have to create your album in bricks mode: http://apollo13.eu/docs/photon/#!/add_new_album
    To be sure that documentation scrolled to proper place (title "Add new album") refresh it after it loads.

    To be honest all that you look for is in my first answer :-)

    Remember - create album, not page :-)

    With kind regards.

    Thank you - have it sorted now but how do I get the categories/filters displayed like in the demo site and the bottom left ?

    Thanks.

    Great :-)

    This filter is only used in Albums list. Single album doesn't have filter.

    Adding album categories is described here http://apollo13.eu/docs/photon/#!/adding_multiple_albums_list_and_categories

    With kind regards.
