Creating Albums

Albums in Robo Gallery allow you to organize galleries into a hierarchical structure.

Instead of displaying all images in one gallery, you can group them into albums and sub-albums, making navigation much easier for large collections.

Albums are created using the Album Hierarchy feature.

1. Opening Album Hierarchy

To create album structure:

1. Open your gallery in the admin panel
2. Locate the Album Hierarchy panel
3. Click Edit

2. Building the Gallery Structure

Inside the Edit hierarchy of Robo Gallery window you can create nested albums.

Example structure:

• Root Gallery
  • Travel
  • Cities
  • Nature
  • Beaches
    • Tropical
    • Mediterranean

This structure determines how galleries are displayed on the front-end.

3. How Albums Work in Version 3

In Robo Gallery Version 3, albums appear as a menu above the gallery thumbnails.

When users click a category, the gallery dynamically switches to display images from that album.

Example navigation:

This creates a filtering experience similar to category navigation.

You can configure menu appearance inside:

Menu Options

Options include:

• Menu visibility
• Labels
• Style
• Alignment
• Colors
• Search integration

4. How Albums Work in Version 5

In Version 5 (Fusion Gallery), albums behave differently.

Instead of a top filter menu, albums appear directly inside the gallery as folders.

Example:

Features include:

• Folder-style album tiles
• Breadcrumb navigation
• Hierarchical navigation
• Natural album browsing experience

This makes the gallery behave more like a visual file explorer.

5. Album Navigation Features (Version 5)

Version 5 supports additional navigation tools:

• Breadcrumbs
• Side navigation
• Top navigation
• Load More
• Infinite Scroll

These options can be configured in the Navigation tab.

6. Album Cover Images

Each album can display a cover image, which represents the album visually.

Inside Album Settings you can control:

• Show or hide cover image
• Album icon
• Album icon color

This helps create a clean and intuitive album interface.

7. Albums vs Tags

Albums are designed for structure, while tags are designed for filtering.

Use albums to organize your gallery, and tags to refine image filtering.

Final Result

After creating albums:

• Galleries are organized in a hierarchy
• Visitors can navigate between sections
• Large collections become easier to explore
• Galleries look cleaner and more professional

Albums transform Robo Gallery from a simple image grid into a structured visual content system.
