Setting up Recent Photos widget

The Recent Photos widget lists recently added photos or photo albums.

Important: We do not recommend that you use widgets and widgetized Overview pages in your community. For more information, see Understanding pages in places in the Jive 9.x Community Manager Help.

The widget can display either albums or photos. In the album view mode, the cover photo is shown along with the creator, name, and number of photos for each photo album. In the photo view mode, the date of creation, author, and name of the album are shown for each photo.

To add a Recent Photos widget:

1. In your place, click the Manage > Overview page.
2. From the widgets list, select Content > Recent Photos.
3. Drag the widget down into your layout area and drop it where you want it.
4. Click the small triangle in the upper right corner of the widget and select Edit this widget.
5. In Custom title, enter the title for the widget.
   You can use the default title (Recent Photos) or create your own, for example, New Photos.
6. In numResults, enter the number of photos to display in the widget.
7. In showAlbums, select Yes to use the widget in the album view mode or select No to view the widget in the photo view mode.
8. In containerID, select which new photos should be displayed:
   • To view new photos from the entire community, leave the box blank.
   • To view photos from a selected place, start typing the place name and select the place when it is listed in the place picker.
   Alternatively, specify the ID of the place. You can find the ID in the place URL, it is appended to the main community URL. For example, in http://www.community.com/community/photo-album-space the place ID is photo-album-space.
9. Click Save Properties.
10. When you're finished making changes to your place's layout, click Publish Layout.
