Adding Images to the Gallery

[TG57Roadmaster]

I want to add pictures to the Gallery. Hit Upload and it goes to "Step 1", Create Album or Select Category.

http://forums.aaca.org/index.php?app=gallery&module=post&section=image&category_id=2

 

Select Category seems to be stuck in "General Meets, Tours and Shows". 

 

Am I doing something wrong?

[TG57Roadmaster]

Same question, different day. 

[Ronnie]

Since you didn't get an answer I will try to help.

 

-Click on your name at the top of the page to pull down the menu.

-Select "My Gallery" from the list.

-You will need to create a new album to store your photos in.

-Upload photos to the new album you created. You will see step by step instructions for doing that.

 

Hope this helps

Thanks Ronnie,

 

I don't want to create albums, just post pics in appropriate categories, a function that doesn't seem to work now. I'm sure it will be corrected.

Tom,

 

If you send Peter Gariepy a message or email he may get to your question a bit sooner.

Matt,

 

It's not that high a priority, and I'm sure Peter is still way slammed with other issues.

In the meantime, I'll use other ways to post pics. The Gallery is an excellent resource,

the contents of which I wish more people would mine in search of answers to questions.

 

I'm sure it will be better than ever, hopefully soon. 

 

Thanks,

I have the same problem. I click on my name then go to profile. In there is Gallery. I find no way to add a picture to my gallery.

When will the issues of the Gallery be addressed? 

 

On the right of the screen..."Other images by 'random name' ", shows an album I made, plus images from others. The World won't stop spinning because of this, but it's not right.

 

If the "A-Z, Z-A" sort function has a purpose, I fail to see its purpose.

 

In the main Gallery page, on the right are new comments. There's an image of the big clock (mine) in the Philly Sheraton, clicked on it to answer the question, and got this message...

"Sorry, but you do not have permission to use this feature. If you are not logged in, you may do so using the form below if available."

 

I could access the other comments, but not this one. Why?

 

In an album I just created, http://forums.aaca.org/gallery/album/123-1969-olds-cutlass-s/

There's a duplicate that I can't delete without notifying a Moderator. Why bother a Mod for a simple correction?

 

Still only one Category to put pics in..."General Meets. Tours and Shows", from my first post a 10 days ago.

I'll get to it.  Thanks for your patience.

Testing something with the photo uploading process. This seemed like a good place to test. Please ignore this post guys. Thanks.

I uploaded some pictures a couple weeks ago and now for the life of me cannot figure out how.  I spent 45 minutes trying to figure it out and just wasted precious time.  Am I missing something?  Please tell me what!

Before or after the upgrade?

This might or might not be useful..if you need to upload pictures use the more reply options to the bottom right of the reply box...this opens up more options.

 

Just below Attach files you will see "choose files"...open it and choose the picture you wish to attach ,once the picture has loaded another option appears..."add to post" ...click that if you wish to add the picture.

 

Once the picture/s has been added you can also manage attachments.To manage attachments click on your user name,go to my settings,another window will show on the left , choose manage attachments and it will show you a list of the pictures that have been 

uploaded by you,to the right you will see "check boxes", if you wish to delete some pictures simply check the box of the picture/s you 

wish to delete then choose 'delete selected."

As most are are aware , some of this stuff has been covered before, but having said that, sometimes it is easier to ask again, simply because this site is so big and not everyone gets to read every post regarding certain issues..... sorry admin...just my 2cents worth.

 

and a picture just to make sure it still works

 

 

 

 

And i should have added....i don't know what the time limit is to edit a post on this site as this is managed by admin. usually about 15min. but that is up to the Boss/s to limit that function.

 

And once in manage attachments you can even see how many times a picture has been downloaded 

Have a play with the new system, it works quite well, just takes a little getting used to as does anything that has been upgraded.

Another post that might be helpful in explaining the pic posting process is this one:

I have the same problem. I click on my name then go to profile. In there is Gallery. I find no way to add a picture to my gallery.

My gallery, that was in my personal profile, has gone with the new software.

Are these images lost for ever?

[Curti]

I can upload pictures to a post, just fine.  My problem is that I cannot upload pictures to display in MY GALLERY.  

If I go to manage attachments.  There is 21 pages of junk that I uploaded over the years.  The display of these pictures is too small as I can not tell what they are unless I click on them individually.

Sometimes I am dense and do not see the obvious.

Before or after the upgrade?

After.  I never had a problem before the upgrade, and even did it once after the upgrade.  Now I see no way to do it!

Hallelujah, it works!  Thanks!  Not very intuitive, but not bad once you know how to do it

Sorry,have never tried to do it,this might be some help

Help Topic: Gallery

 

The gallery can be used to upload images you wish to share with the community. To access it, click the "Gallery" tab at the top of any page.

Gallery Home Page
The gallery has two areas: Categories and albums. Administrators will create the categories that you can upload images into, or create albums within. If you have permission to create albums, you will be able to create them within the categories that administrators designate as accepting new albums. The homepage may show a feed of recent images, featured images, categories and/or recently updated albums, depending upon the administrator's configuration selections.


Viewing Categories and Albums

Image Listing
You will see a tiled layout of images that the album contains. You can click on any thumbnail to see the full-size image. The information will initially display inline, allowing you to navigate the images without leaving the page, however you can view more details about the image by clicking on the image caption within the window.
If the category has any sub-categories or albums, you will see these listed.


Slide Shows
You may be able to see a slide show of all images in that category or album by pressing the slide show link when viewing the list of images. Click on the Slidehow link to enter the slideshow mode.



Viewing Images

Information, ratings and options
To the side of the image, you will see more information about the image such as who uploaded it, when they uploaded it, how many views and comments the image has, and how big it is.

You may see a number of stars which show the image's rating. You may also be able to rate the image yourself by selecting one of the stars. If you are able to rate an image, the stars will change color as you move your pointer over them.


To the side of the image you will see a photostrip of other images in the category or album, which you can use to quickly jump to those images. You can cycle through these images by clicking the < and > buttons to the left and right of the photostrip.

Sharing Images

Below the image, you will have several options to share it with others, such as Facebook, Email, or Twitter. 
Embed Images
Each image has unique HTML and BBCode embed links for you to embed them on your website or within the forums. To display these, click on the "Options" drop down, and then click on "Share Links" 
Comments
At the bottom of the image's page, you will see any existing comments on the image. You can add a comment by pressing the " Add Comment" button, and you can use the "Reply" and "Multiquote" links, and the Fast Reply box, just like in the forums.


Adding your Images

Clicking an upload link or button will take you to the media upload page. This is a two step process. 
The first step is to select or create an album (or category) to upload the images into. Once the album or category has been set, you can upload images right away when the upload form reveals itself. 
When you have uploaded the images you wish, you click the 'Review & Publish' button which will allow you to rotate the image or edit the image's details.
