Page Content Sections - Photo Album Section

Use the Photo Album Section when you want to show one saved photo album as either a thumbnail grid or a slideshow.

What this section is for

This section is useful for event galleries, historical photos, facility tours, and other image collections you want visitors to browse.

Helpful details:

Use Section Title to help identify this section while editing the page.

Helpful detail:

Use Background Color to choose the section background.

Helpful details:

If you do not choose one, the section falls back to white.
This is especially noticeable when you use contained thumbnails or lighter images.

Use Photo Album to choose which saved album the section should display.

Helpful details:

Use Style to choose how visitors browse the album.

Available options:

Helpful details:

The grid style shows square thumbnails on the page.
Clicking a grid thumbnail opens a larger modal carousel with next and previous controls.
The slideshow style shows a carousel directly on the page with next and previous controls.

Use Thumbnail Options to control how images fit into the square thumbnail spaces when Style is set to the grid layout.

Available options:

Helpful details:

Cover Square fills each thumbnail space and may crop part of the image.
Contained in Square keeps the full image visible and may leave open space around it.
This setting affects the grid layout, not the slideshow layout.

Use Active to control whether this section is included when the page is rendered.

Helpful detail:

If Active is turned off, the section stays in the page editor but does not appear on the website.

This section does not have a separate visible headline field.
The album name is shown as the section heading in both styles.
Grid thumbnails show a hover message that says Click to View Image.
The grid layout opens a modal carousel for larger image viewing.
The slideshow layout keeps the carousel directly on the page.
Image captions appear with the larger images when a caption is saved on that media item.
Image alt text is used in the rendered images.
On default pages, the section uses the main page content width.
On landing pages, the section content is wrapped inside a centered container.

Name the album carefully, because that album name becomes the visible heading.
Keep image aspect ratios consistent for a cleaner-looking album.
Use Cover Square when you want a more uniform grid.
Use Contained in Square when you do not want important parts of an image cropped.
Add captions in the Media Library when visitors need extra context on larger images.
Optimize images for website use before uploading. The helper text recommends about 1920 pixels wide for horizontal images and about 150 KB or smaller when possible.
If you want explanatory text above the gallery, add a Simple Text Section nearby.
