PHOTO-GALLERY HELP GUIDE


We have received a number of questions about how to use the member photo gallery and have decided to put together this quick and easy help guide.

(Please note pictures must be no more than 1200px by 1200px)

Each member has allotted to them space to upload their own personal photographs to share with the rest of the community. When you upload your photographs, an icon will appear below each of your posts with a link to your photogallery (Look at the bottom of my post for an example of the photo icon).

One of the top questions we receive is how to upload photographs. The way our system is designed, it is a requirement for you to first create a photograph album before you upload photographs.

While everyone has photograph space, unless you create an album you can not utilize that space and upload photographs.

Here are the detailed steps:

Go to this link, making sure you are logged into your account:

http://www.celticradio.net/php/gallery/

Click on the Admin Mode:

The system will enter the Admin mode, it might take a 5-15 seconds. Now let's create your photograph album. Click on "Create/order my albums":

A box will appear on the screen where you can edit, delete and create your photograph albums. Click on the New button and a new photograph album will appear in the list named "New Album" - you can change the name by using the text box.

When you are happy with the name of the album, click on the APPLY MODIFICATIONS button. You will receive a confirmation screen which you can click to confirm your additions or changes.

Congrats! You have now created your photograph album. The next step is to upload your photographs. Click on "Upload File":

You will now be presented with a box list which you can upload multiple files. We suggest you upload 1 file at a time and to make sure that the files you upload are not huge. For example, the file size show only be 3 megabytes max and the size should be no more than 1200 x 1200.

The rest of the steps are self-explanatory. Just follow the on screen prompts. The most common question we received was how to upload photographs and once you create a photograph album, you should be able to upload your photographs with no major problems.

If you have any more questions, please let us know!

Good Luck!

How does one change the file size?
For example, some of my photo files are 5 megabytes.

Thats a very good question.

Because Celtic Radio has limited funds we can not host super large photographs in our member photo gallery.

You will need to reduce the size of the photograph. I personally use paintshop pro to perform this action. If you have this application, check the help files on reducing photographs.

Here is a great site I found that has a help guide on this process using free tools:

http://www.rideau-info.com/photos/changesize.html

We can also reduce your photograph for you. Just email it to us and we will send it back to you.

Your welcome. We made some changes that may help.

Under the service menu you can now click "My Photos" - if you are logged in and you have created an album, you wil be sent to that album.

Otherwise, the system will redirect you to this thread for help on setting up your album.

Its all part of "My Services" now offered under the services menu.

Goodness! I literally cannot believe this! How long have I been on this site? a few years and I have NEVER been able to upload images into a gallery till tonight! I was so shocked! I don't know what happened, but for some reason it worked. Before that I always got that stupid "java script error." Will be seeing the Wicked Tinkers next month and want to add them to my gallery! yay!

Slowly but surely all of the kinds are being worked out! smile.gif

Glad it works now!

Help please someone.

I downloaded some pics on the members photographs and into the general photographs that I wanted in my profile.
How can I delete the ones that I downloaded in the general photographs section so that I can reload them in my profile?

Thanks LOA

Posted by: Leelee 24-Aug-2008, 04:41 PM
If I am correct;

1. Click on Edit Profile at the Top Menu of CR Menu (where you would check for New Posts etc).

2. Click on Profile now at the top of your screen.

3. Scroll down to Upload Photos and click on that in LOA's Photograph Section.
This should bring up all your photos.

4. Click on which pictures you want to delete. It will say "Delete These Files".

Unfortunately, this has also happened to me. The only way I know how to relocate the photos is delete them and start over.

I am also having some difficulty placing new pictures from a new designated album into my Profile.

Is there anyone out there that could assist us so that we can save our new album pics in our profile? smile.gif

I tried that Leelee and sorry to say it doesn't work when one dowloads into the general photographs section.It does in one's profile.

If I want to delete pics in downloaded in my profile it's o.k but there is no "delete this file" anywhere that I can see in the general pics section.

I just posted this in another thread, but it can't hurt to have it here also:

Picture resizing 101:

Probably one of the easiest (and free!) ways is http://www.xnview.com/

After installing XNView:
1 ) navigate to the directory where your image is located
2 ) open the image
3 ) select "image" "resize"
4 ) make sure the "keep ratio" box is checked, I suggest Lanczos resampling be selected in the lower pull-down box. You can either use a pre-set size from the top pull-down, or choose "custom" and type your own dimensions.
5 ) choose the size you want it to be
6 ) click on "file" then "save as" and select a NEW filename or it will overwrite your original.

XNView also happens to be my favorite image viewer. Did I mention it's also free? tongue.gif
It's also multi-platform.
You'll find most of the software I recommend falls into these categories. smile.gif

HELP!!!!!
I have a business card that I created in CorelDraw and I have uploaded a JPG of it to one of my albums. I have tried, unsuccesfully, for an hour to get the file to show up in my signature when I post. When I use the URL listed under the picture in my gallery I get an error file saying it cant do it. When I thought I had succeeded, all it showed was "user posted image" (http://www.celticradio.net/php/forums/index.php?showtopic=13011&st=0&#entry274642) so I am frustrated on how to do it. I don't have a web page put together that I can upload to my founders website yet so I can't point to an image on a website.

HELP!!!!!!

sorry 'bout the duplicate...

I was just looking back in the thread and noticed that someone else had the same question but there doesn't seem to be an answer. How do I delete pictures out of the general photo album?

Thanks

To delete an album or photo, enter the ADMIN mode by clicking on the admin link, then click on your MY GALLERY and you can then edit files for each album you have created.
