Add the SharinPix Album component to a Community home page

To add a SharinPix Album component to a Community Home Page, follow the steps below:

  • Go to Setup, then enter Communities in the Quick Find Box
  • Under Communities, select All Communities
  • Click on Builder next to the Community you intend to modify
  • Once inside the Builder, select the Components menu from the home page. Then, scroll down to the Custom Components section
  • Drag and Drop the SharinPix Album component onto the desired region

Make sure to publish the community in order to make the changes visible to your given audience.

Add the SharinPix Album to a Community record page

There are two ways of adding a SharinPix album to a Community record page:

  1. By either adding the SharinPix Album lightning component to the record page
  2. Or by adding a Visualforce page embedding a SharinPix album component to the record page 

Note:

If you intend to use a Salesforce object on a Community, you should ensure that proper access rights has been given to the object so as to view the records.

    <sharinpix:SharinPix height="500px" 
		parameters="{
        	'Id': '{!CASESAFEID($CurrentPage.parameters.Id)}', 
            'abilities':{
            	'{!CASESAFEID($CurrentPage.parameters.Id)}':{
                'Access': {
                	'image_upload':true,
                    'image_list':true,
                    'see':true,
                    'image_delete':true
                    }
				}
			}
		}"
	/> 
</apex:page>
