Mimetic Galleries

There are two new catalog pages you can use. They use the SlideShowPro gallery page, a fantastic Flash viewer that we use to show slide shows. The new catalog pages, called “All Shows” and “Catalog”, will show all exhibitions in your gallery.

Catalog

Both “Catalog” and “All Shows” can be added to the menu bar of a gallery. Catalog shows a grid of exhibitions on the same kind of page as you would see a list of exhibitions. “All Shows” shows the same grid of exhibitions, but on a slide show page. Both let the viewer watch a slide show of an exhibition.

All Shows

Only those of you with personal websites, or have Administrator control over a website, can add these functions. If you don’t have such power, ask your gallery owner for help.

How to add Catalog and/or All Shows to your menu bar:

1. Sign in as Administrator to the admin page.
2. Click on the “Galleries” tab.
3. Click “Edit” to the right the gallery to which you want to add Catalog or All Shows.
4. Check the “Use custom menu bar” checkbox by clicking once on the box.
5. In a menu item popup box, choose “catalog” to show the “Catalog”. Choose “all shows” to show ”All Shows”.
6. Click the “Save” button.

Now, when you open up that gallery, you’ll see a menu bar with “Catalog” and/or ”All Shows”.
