How To Add A Photo To My Photo Album Using Drupal

Prerequisites:

1. Setup Drupal.
2. Complete installation of the following modules: admin_menu, cck (content, filefield, imagefield), imagecache (imageapi, imageapi gd2, imagecache, imagecacheui, views (views, views ui) with the proper permissions setup.

ADDING A PHOTO TO A PHOTO ALBUM:

1. Log in with you user name and password.
2. From the Administration Menu at the top of the screen, under "Content management", choose "Create content", choose "Photo".
3. You will be at the Create Photo screen. Type a title (for consistancy, capitalize the first letter of each word, such as "This Page Of Mine").
4. Click the Browse button under the Photo section to navigate to the image file on your local computer. If the image file is stored elsewhere on your server, you must first download the files you want to add (I suggest only a few at a time) to the desktop of your local computer or another easy place for you to find them.
5. Click the Upload button and wait until the file uploads. Depending on the size of the file and your internet connection, this step may take a minute or two.
6. When the upload in complete, you will see a thumbnail of the image appear.
7. Choose the Gallery (or category) you want the image to belongs. (More categories can be added by clickin on Content manager > Taxonomy > List. Then click on list terms on the Gallery row. Here you can view, change and add the category titles.)
8. You may type a Caption, if you want, to briefly describe the photo.
9. Save when done.
10. If you downloaded the photo file from your server, you may wish to delete the original file from where you downloaded it. This way you will not have a duplicate file on your server. All the photos in the Photo Album can alternatively be accessed through the server by the following path from the home folder of your Drupal website: /sites/default/files/photos.

EDITING, UPDATING, OR DELETING A PHOTO IN A PHOTO ALBUM:

1. Log in with you user name and password.
2. Navigate to the Photo you want to change.
3. Make your changes.
3. A good practice is to Preview your changes.
4. If everything is the way you want, click Save. This will overwrite your former Photo details.
