New Art Gallery

[ToddSchumacher]

I'm still learning how it works. Guys, how did you work it? I see three people have successfully created albums.

While logged in...

In 'admin mode' under the '@' tab, I just clicked on the 'Create/ order my albums' link. It created a new album. I clicked ' apply modifications'. then 'modify my albums' (May have been 'edit album' unsure) it to re-name it and set settings. Then started adding files under the 'upload picture' option under the '@' sign in the tool bar.

And by the by, I'm not a community contributer and it still let me do that. If it means keeping the album, I'll become a contributer if its an issue.

edit: added the correct names of all the tags to click

Hmm....

I must have completely screwed up the permissions. I should be the only person able to access "admin mode"; I guess that's how you were able to bypass the community supporter requirement.

I *think* I've fixed that now.

I've found two help documents:

Hope those help!

OK, I've spent a while figuring this out.

There are two modes, User Mode and Admin Mode. User Mode is used for browsing and viewing the galleries; Admin Mode is used to administer your albums (as Todd did).

If you are a community supporter, you will automatically have a personal gallery assigned to you; this will not show up unless you have content in it, though. The gallery has the same name as your messageboard username.

You need to have an available album before you can upload pictures; you can't upload them to your personal gallery unless you have created one or more albums in your gallery. You can also add pictures to the public albums.

I have turned off the "Admin Approval" setting; it was on accidentally. When you upload stuff it will appear automatically.

Important: You can't use GIFs (because my server doesn't have a particulr bit of software on it). Stick to JPGs.

That should all work now. Let me know if problems are still arising.

How can we add albums to the public gallery and not our own?

I tried creating a new Babes of Gencon Gallery and the Enworld Members Gallery (since i ran the original one) but they appeared in my user album not in the public one.

I see you started your own mugshots gallery now tho.

You can't create albums in the public gallery. If you want to create your own distinct albums, you do it in your own gallery.

The public gallery is very specifically there for people who aren't community supporters and thus don't have their own galleries.

So i can create an album in my gallery that anyone can post too?
