A Guide to the Photos Section of an Event on Snipesocial

The Photos section of your Snipesocial event is a space dedicated to displaying the visual content associated with your event. It offers attendees and admins the ability to view and interact with event-related images, but administrative tasks like adding, deleting, or organizing photos must be managed from the event’s timeline. This guide starts from the assumption that you’re already on the event page.


Step 1: Accessing the Photos Tab

Locate the Photos Tab

On the event page, below the header image, you’ll see a horizontal navigation menu with options like Timeline, Photos, Videos, and others. Click on Photos to access this section.

What You’ll See

In the Photos section, you’ll find:

  • All Albums and Images: Albums and images previously uploaded to the event timeline are visible here.
  • Basic Interaction Options: While you can browse and interact with images, the Photos tab is not designed for uploading or organizing content.

Step 2: Exploring the Photos Section

The Photos tab primarily serves as a gallery for your event’s visuals. Here’s what you can do:

View All Images

Scroll through the gallery to see all images associated with your event. If your event has no images yet, this section will be empty.

Browse Albums

Albums created on the timeline will also appear in this section. Click on an album to view all its contents.

Image Interactions

For each image:

  • Download: You and attendees can download the image to your device.
  • Comment: Users can leave comments below each image, fostering engagement.
  • Like: Encourage interaction by liking your images or seeing how attendees react to them.

Step 3: What You Cannot Do in the Photos Section

It’s essential to note that the Photos section is not an administrative area. You cannot:

  • Upload new photos directly from the Photos tab.
  • Create, edit, or delete albums.
  • Rearrange or organize images.

To perform these actions, you’ll need to navigate back to the Timeline of your Snipesocial event. From the timeline, you can upload images, create albums, or manage existing visuals. These changes will then be reflected in the Photos tab.


Step 4: Viewing and Interacting with Images

Click on an Image

Clicking an image opens a full-screen view. From here:

  • Use the download button to save the image.
  • Leave a comment below the image, just as you would on any Snipesocial post.
  • View or add reactions to the image.

Returning to the Gallery

Close the full-screen view to return to the gallery and continue browsing.


Key Features of the Photos Section

  • Event Representation: The Photos tab consolidates all visual content associated with your event.
  • Engagement Opportunity: Users can interact with your visuals by liking, commenting, or downloading.
  • Read-Only Gallery: This tab is ideal for viewing images but does not allow for administrative tasks.

Why Use the Photos Section?

The Photos tab enhances your Snipesocial event by:

  • Providing attendees with an organized gallery of event-related visuals.
  • Encouraging interaction through likes, comments, and downloads.
  • Creating a visually engaging space that complements your event’s timeline.

If you need to manage your photos (add, delete, organize), remember to navigate back to the Timeline tab of your event.
