Assigning Galleries to Albums

In Robo Gallery, albums are not a separate object type.

Albums are simply galleries that contain other galleries using the Album Hierarchy system.

This means that every album you create is actually just a parent gallery, and sub-galleries become the album’s content.

1. Understanding How Albums Work

In Robo Gallery:

• Gallery → can contain images
• Album → a gallery that contains other galleries

So an album is simply a parent gallery in the hierarchy.

Example structure:

Portfolio (Album)
 ├ Travel Gallery
 ├ City Gallery
 ├ Nature Gallery
 └ Architecture Gallery

The Portfolio gallery becomes the album.

2. Opening Album Hierarchy

To assign galleries to albums:

1. Open any gallery
2. Locate the Album Hierarchy panel
3. Click Edit

3. Organizing Galleries

Inside the hierarchy editor you can move galleries to create a structure.

You can:

• Drag galleries into parent galleries
• Create multi-level hierarchy
• Organize complex album structures

Example:

Travel (Album)
 ├ Europe
 │  ├ Italy
 │  └ France
 └ Asia
    ├ Thailand
    └ Japan

4. Saving the Structure

After organizing galleries:

1. Click Save
2. The hierarchy will be applied instantly
3. Your albums will appear on the front-end

5. How Assigned Galleries Appear on the Website

The appearance depends on the gallery version.

Version 3 (Classic Grid)#

Assigned galleries appear as navigation menu above thumbnails.

Users switch between albums using the menu.

Version 5 (Fusion Gallery)#

Albums appear inside the gallery as folders.

Users can click an album to open its gallery.

Features include:

• Folder icons
• Album cover images
• Breadcrumb navigation
• Multi-level navigation

6. Best Practices

• Use one root gallery as the main album
• Organize galleries logically
• Avoid too many hierarchy levels
• Use clear album names

Example structure:

Portfolio
 ├ Web Design
 ├ Branding
 ├ Photography
 └ Motion

7. Important Note

Since albums are just galleries in hierarchy, you do not need to create a special album type.

Simply:

1. Create galleries
2. Arrange them in Album Hierarchy

Robo Gallery will automatically treat parent galleries as albums.

Summary

To assign galleries to albums:

1. Open Album Hierarchy
2. Move galleries into parent galleries
3. Save the structure

Parent galleries automatically become albums, organizing your content into a clear and structured gallery system.
