CREATING IMAGES AND HISTORY EVENTS

CREATING IMAGES AND HISTORY EVENTS A. Image Naming Before uploading, your images must have appropriate names: Each image name must be detailed to avoid duplicate names. Start with a date if you know the date, even if it's only the year. ex: image005.jpg -> 2005-image005.jpg ex : ali.jpg -> HazratAliSword001.jpg ex: 754.jpg -> 2005-10-13-754.jpg B. Choosing your album Now you must choose which album your picture will go into. Go to http://ismaili.net/heritage/acidfree-albums and click on the appropriate album (People, Place, Map, Art, etc..) If you have more than 5 images of the same subject, you will need to create a sub-album (ask karimatajdin@yahoo.com if you need help doing this) C. Uploading Images From inside the appropriate album, you will see an area in the left menu named “Image & Video Admin Quick Links” choose either “Add an image” or “Mass import” If you want to upload one image, click “Add an Image” - enter the title – click “browse” to find your image, see in the Acidfree dropdown menu that the right album is selected - enter the country, city, and a few words in “general subjects” (separate subjects with a comma) – Ignore the rest of the form – scroll down and “Submit”. If you want to upload more than one image into the album, then “mass import” lets you upload 5 images at a time. You enter the same information as above, and the image title is automatically taken from the image name. D. Creating a History Event From the left menu, go to “create content” – “History event” Enter either one date in the “from date” field or enter a range of dates by also using the “To date” field. Now, enter the “history event title” , the “Location”, “Country” and “City” if they are known, Ignore the other fields until you get to “Event Description” where you can enter a few sentences. Now, go down to “Attached Images” and choose ONE existing image. Please do NOT upload an image from here because it will not go into the albums if you upload it from here. Click “Submit” to finish creating the history event To see the events you created, go here: http://ismaili.net/heritage/historicevents E. Using additional images in a History Event If you browse the new images that you created, they will have URL’s such as http://ismaili.net/heritage/node/833 The number “833” is the image identifier. You may use this image identifier inside the text of the “Event Description” by typing [acidfree:833]
