ADDING THE NEW GALLERY

Go to Components > Phoca Gallery > Categories

Scroll to find the 2015 galleries. There are multiple pages.

The simplest way is to start by copying a gallery already there. This way you don't have to re-created the content. Pick the previous month and scroll down to the "Description" window. Select all the content. Close the window. This will take you back to the Category list.

Create a new Category by clicking the "NEW" button. Paste what you've selected into the "Description" window. Make the changes to reflect the current month's winners and theme. Do not cut and paste from an email or Word document. This will mess up the entire thing. You'll need to edit what's there.

For the "Title" field enter the month and theme.

Select 2015 as the "Parent Category"

Save and Close.

The addition won't show up on the website until you add a photo to it, so if you do not yet have the images to add you'll need to upload a blank file. 

MAKING THE PAGE VISIBLE ON THE FRONT END IF YOU DON'T YET HAVE ANY IMAGES

Click on the "Images" text link at the top area of the page.

Click the "Multiple Add" graphic link at the top area of the page.

You do not need to add an image title. 

Choose the Category (Gallery) you want to add it to from the drop down field.

If you don't have any images yet, choose the file "blank.png".

Click "Save & Close".

Now look at the front-end of the website to make sure everything is where you expected it to be.

PREPARING THE IMAGES FOR UPLOAD

You must first make sure that the photos are the correct size and resolution. They should not be more than 800 pixels on the longest size @ 72 dpi. They should be saved as .jpg. The file names should have no spaces or weird characters. Use underscores to separate word. Such as 1st_OPEN_Firstname_Lastname.jpg. The syntax is important.

FTP UPLOAD THE IMAGES

The best and easiest way is to use FTP to upload the images. See these instructions on how to do this.

UPLOAD THE IMAGES ONLINE

This might sound simpler, and you are welcome to try it, but more things can go wrong.

Click on the "Images" text link at the top area of the page.

Click the "Multiple Add" graphic link at the top area of the page.

Click on the 2015 folder

Create a new folder (bottom of the page). Click on the folder to open it.

Click on the "Multiple Upload" tab.

Click on "Add Images". This will allow you to browse to your desktop to select the images you wish to upload.

When they are all listed, click "Start Upload". You should get a verification that all your images were uploaded.

ADDING THE WINNING PHOTO TO THE GALLERY

Regardless of how you uploaded the images, find the folder you just uploaded them to.

Use the checkboxes to choose the images you want to add to the gallery.

Select the Category (Gallery) you want to add them to from the drop-down field.

Click "Save & Close".

This should automatically trigger the thumbnail creation.

If it simply defaults back to the images page, check the category from the "Select Category" drop-down field.

From the "Images" page list make sure everything is there.

Check the front end website to make sure everything displays as expected. If it does, then you are done.
