The Sonoran CMS Gallery System is a custom page element allowing you to create and organize your gallery(s) to fit the needs of your community. Easily add Gallery Categories to any custom page, create or use existing categories across multiple pages. Each category has the ability to manage permissions to **Upload**, with more coming soon.

### Creating Gallery Categories & Adding Gallery Elements

To create a Gallery Category navigate to the Website Builder located at `Administrative Panel` > `Website Builder`. Once you've located the editor, add a **Gallery** section to your custom page.

Now that you added a Gallery section you can select from existing Gallery Categories or create a new one. If you're looking to create a category, simply click the green **CREATE** button. This will display a popup with various inputs, fill in the category label and select the permission preferences that apply. Once the category fits the needs that you like click the orange outline **SAVE** button.

Once you have saved the Custom Page you can now view the page with the Gallery element added.

### Creating a Gallery Post

To create a gallery post simply click "Upload New Photo" and this will display a gallery post creation dialog. Fill in the appropriate information for the post you're wanting to create. Once the post information suffices your needs simply click the green **SUBMIT** button to create the post. Once it's created it'll automatically add it to the gallery view.
