Working with Photos

To upload a picture:

  1. On the Admin menu select Content Management>Create Content>Image.
  2. Enter the "Title" - this is the description the user sees for the picture. It is okay to have photos with the same title.
  3. Select an image Gallery from the drop down list.
  4. Complete the Order in Gallery - the sort is done alphabetically. You can select multiple characters if required, such as "aj" to get the sort just right. You will notice that when you view the picture galleries you will now see the field Order in Gallery so you can tell what letters are currently assigned to photos in the Image Gallery. If you enter no value for Order in Gallery for any of the photos in a particular gallery it will sort on the Title, followed by date uploaded. If you enter a value for Order in Gallery for some photos and not others, the photos without the value will be before those with a value (a blank comes before any other character in the sort order). Any photos with the same value for Order in Gallery (i.e. blank or the same value) will be sorted next by name and then upload date and time.
  5. Hit the Browse button and locate the photo you wish to upload on your hard drive.
  6. Go to the bottom of the page and hit Save.
  7. When you review the Portfolio gallery you should now see the new photo included.

If you wish to change the sort order of existing photos, delete an existing photo or change the description of a photo, simply enter the relevant gallery and click on the link below the photo (the Description). This will take you to a one page view of the photo. You will also see a tab called "Edit". Click on the "Edit" tab.

  1. To change the description, edit the text under the label "Title". It is okay for photos to have the same Title (or description), although it might be confusing for users of your website. If you make the description too long it will mess up the formatting on your gallery page, so try to keep it short.
  2. To change the order in the gallery, change the "Order in Gallery" letter. Remember the sort is done alphabetically and you can use multiple characters.
  3. To change the picture, hit the "Browse" button located under the "Image" label, navigate to the location of the photo on your drive and select it.
  4. To delete the picture, go to the bottom of the page and hit the "Delete" button.
