Getting Started

Before you do any personal configuration with the items in configuration list, you should simply follow these guidelines to setup the default gallery successfully on your server.

There is a folder in imagevue.zip called upload. Simply upload this folder to your server, and this will be your main gallery directory.

Uploading Files


2. Upload images
Rename your groupfolders and imagefolders to reflect your categories of images. Upload your images into your imagefolders.

3. Set Permissions
In order for imagevue to be able to save thumbnails and descriptions to your server, permissions need to be set to your imagefolders. In technical terms, this method is called CHMOD, and you can read up on how to do it by clicking the link below.

Setting Permissions


4. Check your gallery

fictional example links:
www.yourdomain.com/upload/
www.yourdomain.com/upload/admin/
or maybe you uploaded directly to root:
www.yourdomain.com
www.yourdomain.com/admin/

Make sure your menu is displaying correctly, and that your thumbnail images are loading. Also, make sure you can save descriptions in admin, which requires that permissions are set.
