eZeeGallery Photo Quick Guide
The User Guide is complete and will guide you through the complete operation of the eZeeGallery. We have created this quick guide for a reference on the basics of creating a gallery. This quick guide will get you up and running quickly however it does not cover adding captions or edits to the gallery once inserted. Refer to the appropriate section of the gallery for more information on the additional options.
There are 2 methods to create a gallery.
- Insert into existing webpage
- Create gallery page and all assets automatically.
- You need a defined site for both methods.
- You need a folder of full size images already in the site. This folder can be anywhere in your site.
METHOD 1 ( Insert into existing webpage )
Note: This page can be a normal HTML document with an extension of .htm and can be previewed locally. No test server or the need to upload the files to preview the gallery locally.

- Place the cursor where you wish the gallery to be inserted.
