00:00:00In this tutorial, I'm going to be going over the Thumbnails widget
-
00:00:03The Thumbnails widget is an easy way to add multiple pictures into an elegant grid of thumbnails
-
00:00:10You can see it's down here at the very bottom
-
00:00:12When you create a thumbnail widget, it's going to want you to add the pictures individually
-
00:00:19You can add a title and a subtitle here
-
00:00:26In order to add an image, you would simply click add a new element
-
00:00:30When you do that, it'll take you to that new thumbnail
-
00:00:35You can see that there's a space here reserved for it
-
00:00:37You would simply add your image
-
00:00:39You can drag and drop or use the browse
-
00:00:42You can use our global media library full of a bunch of free pictures
-
00:00:46Let's go ahead and just use our media library just to see how this works
-
00:00:49If you add a title, what this will do is this will create a title and a subtitle within the thumbnail when a user clicks on it
-
00:00:59It'll show the full picture, plus the title on top and the subtitle below that
-
00:01:04Down here is the SEO, the open graph, and the URL, which has gone over in a separate tutorial
-
00:01:13Once you're done with this particular picture and element, you would just simply make sure everything's saved and then go back to the main thumbnails
-
00:01:21That can be accessed either on the top menu here or simply click the back button down here
-
00:01:27When you go back, you'll see that new element has been created and it's given the title that you choose
-
00:01:33Let's go ahead and add another one and let's keep it circular to keep everything uniform
-
00:01:41If you decide not to add a title and a subtitle, it'll just show just a picture
-
00:01:47When you click on it and it'll automatically create a name for you when you go back to the thumbnails
-
00:01:55When you go back, you can see it has auto -generated a name for you and you can see them now both aligns right here
-
00:02:01Let's go ahead and add a few more so you can see what it looks like with the full board full of thumbnails
-
00:02:23Now let's keep all the pictures circular just to keep everything looking nice
-
00:02:28Now you see here, it just creates each picture that I created automatically adds it
-
00:02:32If you want to organize your thumbnails into different grids, you can determine the number of columns in mobile
-
00:02:40If you want just one column, you can go ahead and keep everything all in one line
-
00:02:45You can see now it all, it made everything a bit bigger and aligned in one column
-
00:02:48You can separate the different desktop versus mobile columns
-
00:02:56Now when we create four columns, you can see it just added all four of them in a row now
-
00:03:02For additional options, you can require users to be logged in in order to actually view the thumbnails and whether or not these pictures are visible on mobile only or on desktop only and the additional styles
-
00:03:16are just like all the other widgets
-
00:03:18You can determine the space that it takes up on the desktop as well as custom widget class if you know any CSS and you can determine the background style
-
00:03:26So if you want to go ahead and give this just like a solid color for a background, it's a very simple matter of updating that and saving it and you can see it has now created
-
00:03:35a background and that is the thumbnails widget
