LENA global options, plugins, permissions and ways to publish galleries.
Here you can set the cover layout, placement of new photos in albums, upload limit and file storage folder. These settings apply throughout LENA. Opening the options Go to Components → LENA → Photos or Albums, then select Options in the toolbar. The button is available to users allowed to configure the component. Album cover ratio This option controls the public Albums in a category view: Square 1:1 — up to 4 per row; Photographic 3:2 — up to 3 per row.
Create a menu item to open a gallery as a separate page. You can select one album or a category of albums. To place photos between paragraphs, follow Galleries in articles. Available types Single album — displays the title and photos from one selected album. Albums in a category — displays the category title and a grid of assigned albums; selecting a cover opens the album. Creating a menu item Open Menus in the Joomla administrator area and select the relevant menu.
You can insert an album between paragraphs in an article. Two plugins installed with LENA provide this feature: Editor Button - LENA Gallery opens the album selector and inserts its shortcode into the content; Content - LENA Gallery replaces the shortcode with the finished gallery when the article is displayed. This lets you place an album between paragraphs without creating a separate menu item. An embedded gallery does not require a LENA menu item.
