Categories and tags

Import images from multiple local folders and automatically incorporate all the images alongside any prior imports. All images are allocated to a year and month on import and categories are created. Thereafter use drag-and-drop to allocate an alias to the original image. For example you may have an photograph taken in September 2022 this is the default category. However the photograph was a holiday in Italy. Create a category called Holidays/Italy and drag the image to the category. This will create a link to the original without duplicating the file.

  • Unlimited categories and subcategories.
  • Drag-and-drop Images between categories.
  • Category introductory text.
  • Category introduction Image.

Menus and lightbox

A default menu is created when you first import images. This includes a top level menu for years, people, places and occasions. Each top-level menu is linked to a top-level category and each submenu is linked to the related subcategory. For example years will have a list of year categories which in turn will have a submenu for each month.

Creating additional menus is simple can be done from the menu page, new menu and select the target or from the category page, right click a category and choose create menu.

  • Multiple menus supported.
  • Automatic generation of breadcrumbs.
  • Single click publish/publish to add or remove pages from the website.
  • SEO friendly URLs.

YouDoPhoto allows you to create multiple photo gallery websites for different domains and subdomains. You can duplicate an existing domain a single click to create different versions of calories for different projects or occasions each using a different theme.

For example you have already built a wedding website for your daughter and now you'd like to update that and include the wedding of your son. Duplicate the original and import the new images. Preview before publishing for the guests to see the images of the happy day.
