Front-end Manager Plugin
![]()
Let your friends become admins of your FW Gallery!
Now with Front-end Manager you don't have to log into the back-end to create a new gallery or upload more images or give admin access to your friends or users. This plugin creates a handy and clear admin page on the front-end and it doesn't disturb general order and design.
Require FW Gallery 2.1 or higher version installed
With Front-end Manager you can:
- create galleries and subgalleries from the front-end
- download images from the front-end
- select colour for each gallery
- multiple upload capabilities
- write, edit and remove descriptions for gallery and images
- find particular images by image name
- sort images by gallery name
- publish and unpublish galleries, subgalleries and images
- set access level for each gallery/subgallery and other features
Other important tips:
1) Front-end Manager Plugin's batch upload function works only with FW Gallery Batch Upload Plugin 1.2.1 and higher version
2) Front-end Manager Plugin gives the access only to images and galleries that a particular registered user creates not to all the categories.
3) If you have Facebook Plugin (1.3.0 or higher version) installed your Front-end Manager page will be enhanced with possibility for your users to import/export albums from/to their Facebook pages.
4) Front-end Manager can be integrated with JomSocial Plugin! Your friends will be able to display images which they have added to your FW Gallery in their JomSocial profiles as well.
