Add Images to Galleries
Posted January 25th, 2008 by Ross Musselman
Adding images to the galleries is a snap! However, there are some things you should know before you attempt to add images.
- You may not upload images that are larger than 800KB. If you need to reduce the size of your image, I suggest using one of the following (but you are free to use whatever you like):
- Irfanview for Windows
- The Gimp for Linux
- ??? for Mac (I use one but I haven't found freeware I like yet)
- Only upload one version of your image. Our image module will provide a standard preview and thumbnail version of your image.
- You may upload images in one of the following formats: .jpg, .gif, and .png. JPEG (.jpg) is strongly recommended for photographs.
Got it? Okay, now you are ready to load your images.
- Click on "Create Content" in the top left menu.
- Select "Image" from the content types.
- Fill in the following fields:
- Title: This is the title you want to give your image.
- Image Galleries: Select the image gallery to which you wish to add your image.
- Image: Browse to find the image you want to upload.
- Body: In the Body section, you can add any descriptive text related to the photograph.
- Click on "Submit" at the bottom.
Congratulations! You've done it! Repeat this process for each image you want to upload.
