How to post images in the ADK-GVC photo gallery

These instructions are so the webmaster and Executive Committee members can remember how to do it.

  • Open Google Drive

  • Go to the ADK-GVC Media Assets folder. If you don't have access, contact the webmaster.

    • Select the appropriate subfolder, for example, > ADK-GVC Media Assets > Trails Albums > 85 - Trails 2015

  • Notice that the year folders are prefixed with a number equal to 2100-year to make then sort nicely.

  • Create a folder for the trip or event.

      • Use a name of the form "2015-01-31 Ellison Park - Photos by Vinnie Finn" with the sortable date, brief name, and photographer.

  • Copy the photos to the new folder.

    • Please resize the images to 1000 or fewer pixels on the long edge for faster loading and to be kind to our disk space.

    • Let webmaster@adk-gvc.org know where you put the images.

    • The following steps are for the webmaster.

    • Sign in to the ADK-GVC.org website.

    • Go to the Photo Gallery.

    • Select the appropriate subgallery. Go there.

    • Edit the page.

    • Insert at Drive Folder container.

      • Select the folder with the newly uploaded images.

      • Set the container to 250 pixels high, grid view.

    • If there are more than two containers with images in a grid, removed the oldest ones. The images are still available in the list containers below.

    • Update the appropriate folder on the top level photo gallery with the new image folder. I think we can keep the most recent from each group and still have the page load quickly enough.

    • Update the What's New link and page.
