How do you create an Album ?

[url]http://www.motorhomefacts.com/modules.php?name=gallery[/url]

Click on the Photo Gallery link on left hand navigation Options, or the link above. Once the page has loaded, click on the Members and their Motorhomes album. Now click the "New nested Album" link on the top right of the page. You can then click on the "rename album" link on the top right, this doesn't actually change the name you see for your album as you would have thought, but instead changes the folder name on the webserver for your album. Thats it, now all that remains is to name the album as follows:- Click on the "Properties" link again on the top right, change the "Album Title" to your name / motorhome type etc then click "Apply". If you wish to add photos see below.

· How do you add Photos to my album ?
Follows the steps for creating an album Here then click the "Add photos" link on the top right of the page, this will produce a pop up browser window with browse buttons that allow you to choose the pictures from your pc that you wish to upload. Fill in a short descriptive caption for each photo and then click the "Upload" button. Thats it Smile

· How do i rename my album to something more fitting like my username ?

This is confusing as to rename the album you actually have to click on the dropdown section below the album and choose the option "Edit Title"

The rename album choice actually renames it in the url but not on the screen i.e. if i had an album called album17 with this url

This doesn't work. I seem to have managed to make several 'untitled' albums but can't change the name. Clicking on 'Properties' does nothing; I don't get 'Album Title', there is no 'Apply' button.

The instructions are confusing and don't do what they say... help appreciated ... in simple English please ..

hi Ingram these instructions do work, i believe you may have a popup blocker installed, try disabling that and all should be well Smile

ingram

Thanks for the speedy response. and the simple English. Very Happy

Yes, I did have a popup blocker ( doesn't everyone? )
If you put in an instruction to 'disable pop up blocker', *then* the instructions would work. Wink

Have now uploaded some pics; but my album is still 'untitled' even though I have changed the name ..........
