The Media Collection Standalone Sections allow you to create individual pages to showcase multimedia content: images or videos. You can create collections to display your art or photos, highlight products and services, or post videos of your work.
To get started, please watch the video guide below and read on for further instructions:
Adding a Media Collection Section
Each Media Collection page belongs to a Media Collections section. This standalone section collects the media collections pages outside your UENI website landing page.
If you are currently on the Basic layout, you can add a new Media Collection standalone section to your website in the following steps:
- Jump in to Editor → Sections
- Click the “Add Section” button
- Select "Media Collections" option
- Type in the name of your Media Collection section (Photos, Events, Art, Gallery, etc.)
Alternatively, if you are currently on other Advanced layouts, once you are inside the Editor, simply click on Pages, then choose Add Page or Link and select Media Collection.
The name of the section is what appears on your website’s menu!
That’s it! You are ready to add media collection pages to your website.
Creating Media Collection Pages
Each individual page hosts a media collection of up to 30 images or videos. In addition to the multimedia content, you can write a rich text description for your collection.
To add a collection page to your Profiles section:
- Go to the Editor → Sections and open the section where the page will be available
- Click the “Add Media Collection” button
- Add your images and videos (up to 30!)
- Click "Save" to publish the page
Change the position of your Media Collection section
As each section (Space, Profiles, Media Collection, etc.) gets its own link in your website’s menu, you may want to change its position. This is fairly easy!
In the Editor context, Standalone Sections behave like any other section. Therefore, you can rearrange them as you would with the other sections:
- Go to Editor → Section
- Click on the “Edit” button to enable the editing mode
- Using the left “handle”, move the section to its correct position
If you are still preparing some content before launching, you can toggle the Space “off” — using the green switch. This allows you to manage your pages without them becoming visible to your visitors.
Sorting Media Collection Pages
By default, new collection pages in your media collection section appear at the top, i.e., pages are sorted in reverse chronological order. In any case, if you want to, you can sort your pages in any order.
In your Media Collection view, you can change the order of pages — this is the same behaviour as sorting your products or services:
- Go to the Editor → Sections and open the section with your pages
- Click on the “Edit” button to enable the editing mode
- Using the left “handle” on each page, sort the pages as you want
Deleting a Member Page or a Media Collection Section
Sometimes, we really need to delete something...
Deleting a Media Collection Page
Deleting pages is rather easy:
- Go to the Editor → Sections and open the section with your pages
- Click on the “Edit” button to enable the editing mode
- Click the “bin” icon on the right
Deleting a Section
To delete a Media Collection:
- Go to the Editor → Sections and open the Media Collection you want to delete
- Click the “bin” icon on the Delete card
- Confirm the deletion
Please, note that:
- deleting a Media Collection will delete all the Pages within the colllection;
- after deletion, you can’t recover any content.
