Image gallery how-to

Notes on how to use the image galleries

First, thanks to use the galleries. It is an immense pleasure and richness for all the people participating to the activities to be able to browse them and use them in the websites.

As the pictures are being used in the constantvzw.com blogs and archives(and elsewhere), we need to make sure that the images stay at the same place(otherwise 404 errors).

Also, because they are linked from the homepage, the galleries are more visited so we need to keep them legible somehow.

We are trying to come up with simple guidelines for gallery usage. All your brains are welcomed.

In general

!IMPORTANT

When there is a banner, it has to stay at the top-level of the folders. If moved, the website and the blog using it will not be able to display them. And to put it back in place doesn't work either. If unsure, do not move the banners.

Let's try to keep the structure as flat as possible. We propose to structure the galleries as follows:

• One folder per event
  • Title of this folder is the title of the event.
  • Description of the folder is the description of the event. If possible add a link that refers to the project on the Constant site, or if that does not exist, to an external page.
• If an event is more than one day, inside this folder one folder per day
  • Title of these folder is the date the events took place
  • Description of the folder (when applicable) is... what happened on that day
• You can use the image captions to explain about the specific situation depicted, but also to list yourself as photographer if you wish.

For Verbindingen-Jonctions

• We use one subfolder per festival edition (so one for vj9, one for vj8 etc.)
• Inside each editions' folder(http://www.constant.irisnet.be/gallery/vj9), put one subfolder per day and one for preparations etc. If you want to distinguish your pictures from the other, anotate them by using the title of the image and the description + keywords fields.

For VJ9, all the folders are already there, so you do not need to create new ones. Please use the existing ones!
