Downloads Addon

There may be instances in which you want to provide download links to images in the galleries you’ve created. That’s where the Downloads Addon can help. The Downloads Addon allows you to give download links for images in your gallery in both the gallery and Lightbox view.

You can even use the Downloads Addon with the Envira Password Protection Addon to require users input a password before downloading your images.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to set up a gallery using the Downloads Addon.

Setup

Step 1 – Create or edit your gallery

The first step to creating download links for your images is to create a new Envira gallery, or choose to edit and existing one. If you haven’t created your first gallery, follow along with our documentation for step-by-step instructions.

Step 2 – Set up your Download settings

Once you’ve created your gallery, navigate to the Downloads tab and adjust the image download settings so that they meet your needs.

The list of settings available for the Downloads Addon are listed on the Downloads tab and include:

• Option to display a download button on each image in the gallery view
• Drop-down to define the downloaded image size
• Toggle to turn on the Download All option
• Option to specify Download button location
• Option to force downloads
• Button display option for galleries in Lightbox view

Step 3 – Publish or Update your gallery

Finally, click Publish or Update on your gallery to save the changes.

When you view your gallery, you’ll now see a download icon in the upper left corner of your images in the gallery view when you hover your cursor over them.
