< p > We have an online form you can use from any web browser to upload a load of files
to your folder on the server for the current year of the expedition.

< / ul >
You will need to login as user 'expo' with the usual {cavy:beery} password.
< p > This is restricted to upload photos into the server's photo area for just the current year's expedition. There is a sub-form on the
page for you to create a folder if there is not already one with your name on it.
< p > Your own photo folder is named like this: < var > YourName< / var > . It is a
< a href = "https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-personal-names" > simplified, anglicized< / a > version of your name.
It should have no spaces, accents.
hyphens, apostrophes or underline characters.
When creating a new folder using the form, the form will prevent you using nonalphabetic characters.
< p > (You cannot create sub-folders. All your photos go into the same folder.)
< p > Please, please rename the filenames of the photos intelligently to e.g.
"< var > big-hole-near-path-to-fgh.jpg< / var > ", or "< var > 2018-ad-07-entrance3.jpg< / var > "
rather than "< var > DSC31415926.jpg< / var > " or whatever your camera app produces.
< p > Please use lower-case for all the filenames of photogrpahs.
< p > Please don't upload lots of near-duplicate photos: cull them first to just the good ones.
< h2 > Simple instructions< / h2 >
< ol >
< li > If you only have a photo or two just email or message them to someone who knows how to do it. < br >
If you are doing more than a few photos, email will be clunky, so do this:
< li > Copy the photo files from your phone to any laptop using a USB cable.< br >
See < a href = "#android" > phone app< / a > if you do not know how to copy files from your phone.
< li > Rename the filenames of the photos to something descriptive (see para above).
< li > After copying your files to a laptop, use the the < a href = "/photoupload/" > Upload Photos< / a > form to upload them.
< / ol >
< p > < b > Complete beginners< / b > can also put all their files into their own folder within the folder

ask a more experienced user to upload them.
< h3 > Blog photos< / h3 >
< p > If you want to use your photos in a blog (see
2022-03-23 11:44:04 +00:00
< a href = "uploading.html#blog" > Using uploaded photos in blogs< / a > ), use the
< a href = "/photoupload/" > Upload Photos< / a > form to upload the high quality, original resolution image files first.
Then in your blog, reference those photos using a URL such as this:
< a href = "https://expo.survex.com/expofiles/photos/2022/UK-Caving-Blog-2022/" >

< p > The albums online on the server are regenerated by a script which is run occasionally which uses a package called 'bins', see < a href = "../troggle/serverconfig.html" > server config< / a > . More detail in the
