Current Photo Gallery (since 2020)
Posted: Thu Jan 16, 2020 4:03 pm
The New 1966 Beetle Photo Gallery is now active, thanks to Mark at phpbbservices.
This Software replaces the previous Coppermine Gallery, therefore we need to start over with loading photos since there is no way for me to determine who uploaded which photos previously.
This software is Separate from the 1966 VW Beetle Forum Software. This means you need to register in the Photo Gallery too. I would recommend you use the same credentials you use in the Forum to keep things simple, but you are free to create any username and password you like.
So lets talk about how the registration and upload process works:
To Register:
You will access the photo gallery from the main www.1966vwbeetle.com web site. There is a button on the top of the screen that is called “Photo Gallery”. Once you click on that button you will be taken to the new photo gallery page. There is a link on the page to access the Photo Gallery. The instructions to enter pictures are also on that page.
Click on the link
To register, click on the “login” link on the top right of the screen in the gallery.
Next Click on the “Register” link which is just below the “Submit” button
Now, create your Username, Password, Confirm Password, and Email Address. Please leave the box that says “Send my connection settings by email” checked so that you get a registration email with all your information.
Once those items have been entered: Click the “Register” Button. A message will appear at the top of the screen “Successfully registered. You will receive an email soon with your connection settings. Welcome!
To add Photos to the Gallery:
From the Gallery home screen after you login:
Place your cursor over the word “Explore” on the top menu bar. That will expand a drop down menu. At the bottom of that drop down menu is the option “Upload Photos”. Click on “Upload Photos”.
Next select YOUR ALBUM by clicking on the arrow in the black box next to the word “Community”. You should see the word community and your userid available for selection. For Example: Community/BlueBug. In this example BlueBug would be whatever your userid is.
Once you have selected your Community/userid, go to the button right below and click on “Add Photos”
This should bring up a search on your home computer so you can find photos. Typically when you have selected a photo on your home computer you will need to press a button such as open to begin the upload process.
Once you are brought back to the Gallery, press the “Start Upload” button at the bottom of the screen. This will add the photo to the album associated with your userid. Each time you add a photo please make sure that the album it is going to is yours (your userid).
Thanks. John
