Gallery Upload

[Malia]

I just tried to upload a pic to the Gallery, and got an error stating that I must select a Category, but the Category drop down is empty. 

I might suggest the following categories, to start out:
Karaoke Pics
URU Pics
SL Pics
Misc Pics

I say go for it.  I think we can create whatever categories we want, it doesn't have to be a "group" decision.  If I feel like adding a "Psycho-Serial Flying Monkey" category, I'm not going to ask for permission

I just added those.

Maybe I missed something, I didn't see any way to create them... in any case they are there now.  THANKS BORG!

You didn't miss anything.  I checked with my second account and it looks like only moderators and admins can create categories, so if someone needs a category created post what you want it called here.

Is it possible to add nav buttons for "next picture" and "previous picture"?

Not with the gallery mod I currently have installed unfortunately.

[Malia]

Oh well, it was worth asking

[Sean]

I can switch to a different gallery system.  You'd have to re-upload all the pictures though.

[Malia]

Well, since I am the only one who has uploaded so far, now would probably be the best time.  In case you hadn't noticed, I kind of like beta testing...

I'll do it either later tonight or tomorrow as I have a job interview soon.  I will post here when I've changed it.

Good luck with the interview!

I will be doing this on Sunday in case I have to take the site down to do the change over.

We now have a new image gallery which also supports audio and video files.  In addition to the general catergories that I created you can also create user galleries for your own stuff.  This looks to be a much better system than the one I had installed originally.  Hope you all enjoy it.

Edit: Since the gallery supports video and audio do we still have a need for a seperate download page?  I don't think we need both now, but I want to hear what you all think.  Note: To use both would require uploading your file twice.

[Malia]

Yay, the new gallery is much better!  I just uploaded some test pics, the previous and next viewing buttons are great. 

I'm not sure I understand that bit you said about uploading files twice, but it doesn't sound like it would make our lives easier to add that...
