Adding an Image
After adding the photo Album module to a tab select Add Photo from the edit
photo Album Menu.
 You can then select an image from your
local machine/network to upload, you can also add a title which will be
displayed over the thumbnail and in view mode. You can also add a description
of the image which will be diplayed in view mode. When a photo is added it is
placed in a directory in the current portal upload directory named after the
module ID of the album. e.g. portals/0/352/imagemname.gif. For each new photo
album module a new directory will be created in the current portals upload
directory. New to 1.03.00 you can also select a zip file of several images for
batch uploads. With Batch uploads all images will recieve the same title and
description until individually edited.

Setting Album Options
Each Album can have its own settings for thumbnail size and for the number of
thumbnails per row in the album. The Demo Album on this page has a thumbnail
width of 198px and a repeat value of 1. This will cause a vertical Image list
to be displayed.
 If the thumbnail width is larger
than an image in the albums width, the image will not be stretched but
displayed at its actual size, this is to prevent images getting distorted. When
the thumbnails are created they are scaled to the same ratio as the original
image. e.g. an image of 500 x 250 with thumbnail width of 100px will be 100 x
50. Multiple Photo Albums can be added to a portal/tab with different thumbnail
widths and thumbnails per row.

Viewing Full size Image
When an image thumbnail is clicked on, a full size version of the image will be
displayed on its own page with the title and description. Multiple Photo Albums
can be added to a portal/tab with different thumbnail widths and thumbnails per
row.
