Gallery

Hide gallery link from non-authenticated users.
2007-02-27: No longer an issue.

Integrate gallery into Drupal.
2006-11-28: Custom copy of Gallery installed. Still testing image referencing and integration.
2006-12-01: Gallery activated, and select users given the ability to upload images. See the "gallery" link on the left:

Make a scaled-back copy of your original photo or image to the largest size you need it in the album. This should save us some space in the long term.

  • Log into farbot.com.
  • Click the gallery link at left.
  • Navigate down to the album you want to drop the photo into.
  • To make a new sub-album, click the "Edit" link in the bottom left of the page.
  • Use the menu to Add Sub-Album or Add Item to the current album. Use a short filename for the album folder, and a short name for it to have in the album.
  • Click Back To Album, under Navigation, once you add the given image(s).
  • You can always use the links at the top to navigate back to the album you want if you get lost.
  • Browse to the image size you want to embed in your article, then right-click it. In Firefox, select Copy Image Location.
  • Paste the image link into Notepad or another text editor, and remove the g2_session information after the file name.
  • Go to your article and add the image in. Here's a tutorial on wrapping text around images that I found useful. If you want it between paragraphs, say a larger size of that image, you can use a plain bbcode IMG tag.

Put family photos gallery on its own subdomain.
2006-11-28: Done. It now lives at familyphotos.farbot.com.

Standalone Gallery is broken:
2006-10-31: Fixed. I had exhaustive backups, but still had a very hard time fixing it after an aborted attempt to integrate it into the CMS. This is a hint that my backup strategy is missing something critical.
