Instructions: How to use the new gallery
|
|
|
OK, a couple of people have been asking me how to use the new gallery. So, I have decided to write a short guide on how to use the new gallery.
Basically, all you have to do is this.
1. Click on "Settings" on the left. Its listed under "Welcome Username". You'll see Profile and "Settings". Click on Settings. Then after you click it, go no further with that. You only have to do this the first time,. not everytime you add a pic or album.
2. Click on USR GAllery in the links menu on the left.
3. Click on the text link at the top of the gallery that says "Add Album" Fill in the first field "Name" for the new album. You can then add a keywords and description if you want to. When you filled that all in, click on "Create".
4. Click on Add Items
5. Click Browse to select the image you want to add to the gallery. You can upload 2 items at a time, or click on "More Upload Boxes" to do more than 2 at a time. Under that you'll see "Set item titles from:", you can leave that as it is or change it to caption. Do not select "Blank" for that setting.
You should be sure to check both boxes "Summary & Description" after "Assign caption to:"
6. Fill in the "Caption" which means "Short Description"
7. Check the box that says "Create Thumb Now"
8. Click "Add Items"
9. Then click on the USR Gallery link to go to the main page and you should be able to select your album and see your images.
If you have any questions after reading this, please feel free to contact me at anytime by PM'ing me here, or emailing me at admin(AT)AFreWebHost(DOT)com.

New Gallery Installed!
|
|
|
Ok, due to all the trouble we were having with the old gallery, I decided it would be best for all of us if I just got rid of that gallery, and installed a new one. I have setup the new gallery and integrated it with our website and database. You can view the new gallery here. To see the main gallery page without the website integration you can click here but, DO NOT REGISTER ON THAT PAGE! You must click on Settings, which is explained below.
The new gallery will automatically add all newly registered users to the gallery. So, anyone who registers on our website from now on will automatically be added to the gallery login, and they will not have to login again to add pics and albums. For those of you who are already registered on the website, all you have to do to be added to the gallery users list is click on "Settings" on the left hand side of the main page, this will take you to a page where you can edit your profile. You do not have to do anything after clicking "Settings", you are automatically added to the gallery after clicking Settings.
There are some differences with this new gallery, there are a lot more settings for us to use. You can now add images from the gallery, into all your news posts, and your forum posts too!
It's pretty self explanatory, all you have to do is create an album, and then add pics to it, simple as that! There are text links at the top of the gallery page which you can use to create albums or add pics very easily.
If you have any questions, contact me and I'll see what I can do to help!

New Profiles Mod, MySpace Type Profiles!
|
|
|
I have just finished adding a profile edit mod that changes all profiles to MySpace type where you can enter html coded profile pages and add anything you want!
I still have some editing to do to the code so that it changes some of the text in the profiles like favorite book and so forth but, that shouldn't take too long. There is also a little bug where it won't let you add profile pics yet but, I am working on that as we speak!
So, for now, you can add videos, music, images, anything you want! If you are familiar with MySpace style profile editing, then you can do this too! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me and I'll help in anyway I can. Also, if you come across any other little bugs in the mod or profiles, let me know asap so I can fix it.
What will your profile look like?

I have just finished installing a set of modifications that enables all members to create an unlimited number of albums in their own image gallery!
You can upload all of your images and place them in any category you choose. All images are then viewable on the website by clicking on the "Gallery" link in the menu or at the top.
If you have any questions about this modification, or how to add your pictures, please contact me (Beatle), and I'll walk you through it!
