Adding Images to Photo Albums
Once a photo album has been created, the user can now begin adding images to that album. There are two ways of going about this.
The first way, is probably the most desired way, and can be used for adding multiple images at a time. This is more suited for a brand new album, or when a new batch of images needs to be submitted. This is also used, if the images being added to the site, are not currently published to the site. If they are already on the site, they will be added the second way. This first way is the Mass Import method.
Mass Importing images
First step is to make sure the photo album page images are being added to is loaded. Click on the
MASS IMPORT link tab at the top of its page. Beside it there should be a "view" "list" and "edit" tab links.
There are some fields that need to be filled in, so the system knows its adding the images properly.
- Parent - leave this as default, so the images are sure to make it to the correct album.
- Tags - enter in the catagories the images fall into, the same as performed with creating the album. the catagories will be applied to all the images being added.
- Files to upload - there are 5 boxes with a browse button beside each. use these to select the images being added.
Pay attention to the size of the images, as there is a file size limit on the site. Apparently, there is also the option of uploading zip, or tar files containing images, which will be added, but as of yet this writer has not tested this out.
Hit
Upload and the images will now be added to the photo album. To add more like this, simply repeat this step.
If adding one more image that is already published to the site, the second method will be more suited.
Adding images already published on the site
To add an image thats already been on the site to a photo album, click on the image to get to that images page. You will need to be the publisher of the image you wish to add.
Once on the image's page, click on the tab link called "
edit" at the top of its page. Once the page is loaded, there is one thing that needs to be done.
Locate the box that says
Photo Albums. Select the photo album that the image is being added to. Scroll down and hit submit. the photo is now added.
Congratulations, you've created a photo album.
