Although ExpressionEngine 2 does not come with a built-in photo gallery module, it does have many features designed to make working with photos easier. In this chapter, you will create a photo gallery channel, use file manager to manage your photos, and use jQuery to display the photos on your website.
Note
This chapter uses the FancyBox jQuery plugin that you set up in the previous chapter. If you did not follow the previous chapter, please follow the instructions in Chapter 7, Creating a Calendar under Setting up FancyBox
Although this chapter focuses on building a tool for Ed & Eg to share their personal photos, the techniques in this chapter will be useful in any situation where you want to display images — whether personal photos, a portfolio of your work or items for sale.
