As you might have noticed, Ztampfest Gallery is using a different script than those of Photopost generally used in most forums. As a lot of people are not familiar with this type of gallery, I decided to share some tips and tricks on using the gallery here.
First of all, did you know that you can easily and quickly navigate the Ztampfest Gallery through the navigation panel on the left? Well, on the left panel right under the Ztampfest Gallery title, you’d see ‘Expand’ and ‘Collapse’. Just click on the ‘Expand’ and a navigation ‘tree’ will appear, which makes it very easy for you to jump from one gallery to another!
Click on either the + or – sign on the left side of each Album to expand or collapse the navigation tree. Try it out! I think it’s a pretty cool and useful feature!
Next, with the new updated script recently, for the first time now certain Albums in the Ztampfest Gallery are open to the registered users. This means they are given access to upload, edit and delete their own layouts.
Which Albums are open? They are: the Ztampfellas Album & Weekly Challenges Albums!
So how to upload your layouts there? Here’s how:
First of all, you have to be a registered user at Ztampfest and the size of your file should not exceed 125KB, nor larger than 600×600 dpi. Ready? Then make sure you are logged in and follow these steps:
- 1. Locate the Album where you wish to upload your layouts to (i.e. Ztampfellas Album
or Weekly Challenges’ Albums).
2. On the Album page, under ‘album actions’ on the left bar click ‘Add Items’.
3. In the page that appears, under the tab ‘From Web Browser’ click ‘Choose File’ and locate the file you wish to upload from your hard-drive.
4. Type in the title of your layout in the ‘Caption’ field.
5. Add more files as you wish.
6. Scroll down until you find:
Set item titles from:___ please choose ‘Caption’
Assign caption to:___ please UN-check BOTH options
7. Leave the ‘Create Thumbnails Now’ Checked as it is.
8. Click the ‘Add Items’ button.
9. On the following page that appears, click on the title of the layout you want to add detailed information to.
10 Click ‘Edit Photo’ under the ‘Item Actions’ drop-down menu.
11. You should be on the ‘General’ tab now, if you are not, then click on the ‘General’ tab (on the far left).
12. Type Your User Name in the ‘Summary’ field.
13. Type related search words in the ‘Keywords’ field if you wish.
14. Type in whatever you want to share about your creation in the ‘Description’ field but first, type in your User Name here as well.
15. Type the Credits of product(s) used, including the Fonts name here as well, below your description.
16. To Edit your description later or re-upload your layout, just click on the ‘Edit Photo’ under ‘item actions’ in the menu on the left or below your image.
You’re done! I know this seems to be lengthy and it’s not very commonly used in the digiscrapping sites/forums but once you got the hang of it, you’ll love it! Remember that you have to be logged in in order to do any of the above steps.
Thanks in advance and I’ll look forward to receiving your ztampfilicious creations there!
