The Gallery is place to keep all your members, or your own favourite pictures in one place. Plus people canrate them, organize them or comment on them. (and much more) You have 25mb of space for your Gallery.
So here's your guide to getting yourself a working Gallery.
1) Goto the AdminCP -> Gallery Configuration and click Install.
2) Click on Gallery Configuration again
Now you will be faced with an army of checkboxes and form. Let's sort through these and get them set accustomed to your personal tastes.
Max allowed image height: Maximum height of images allowed in the gallery
Max allowed image width: Maximum width of images allowed in the gallery
Max image filesize: Maximum Filesize of images in the gallery
Max thumbnail width: Maximum width of a thumbnail in the gallery(a smaller version of the picture)
Max thumbnail height: Max height of thumbnails
Display who is viewing a picture On a pictures page you can see near the bottom the words "0 Members and 0 Guests are viewing this picture." This is what checking this box enables
Resize Images if too large Exactly what it says...if an image larger than your specified size is added the forum will resize it
Display newest comments first. Self-explanitory. New comments, go at the top
Show pictures ratings Again, self-explanitory
Show top rated pictures on the main page On the main Gallery page(after clicking the gallery button) there will be a section added that displays images with the highest overall rating on your forum if you check this box
Show the most recent images on the main page On the main Gallery page(after clicking the gallery button) there will be a section added that displays the newest images added to your forum if you check this box
Show the most viewed images on the main page On the main Gallery page(after clicking the gallery button) there will be a section added that displays the most viewed images added to your forum if you check this box
Show the most commented images on the main page Same as above, but the most commented
Allow the user to toggle if comments can be shown or a picture or not Someone want fill me in on this one?
Show total views Under each picture's thumbnail it will show the total views of the picture
This entire area of this page is rather selfexplanitory. If you check the box it will show up under the thumbnail.
Save all this with the Save Settings button
Next page...click "Manage Categories"
Here you can Add Categories for your Gallery, Delete them and edit them with their respective links. You can also edit the individual permissions for each category and reorder the categories with the [up] and [down] buttons.

If you need anything answered specifically...just ask. At the end of these I usually include a FAQ, so I'll try to answer popular questions in there too. |

Everytime I upload the Image link then post it into the gallery URL, it won't add the picture for some reason. The add picture button didn't do anything. I kept clicking it and it wouldn't open up anything.
