|
|
|
|
# How to see a photo album?
|

|
|
|
|
![ Photo_access](en/Photo_access.png)
|
|
|
|
Then, the default page is this one:
|
|
![Photo_view](en/Photo_view.png)
|
|
|
|
- On the main page, you see your most **Recent Photos**.
|
|
- On the bottom left, you can see **Photo Albums**: it is list of your albums.
|
|
- In this **Photo Albums** list, you can see that there are three folders that are automatically created:
|
|
- **Recent Photos**
|
|
- **2018-05**: when you add a photo in a post, it is automatically added in a folder that is created using the year and month at the time of the post.
|
|
- **Profile photos**: when you add a photo into your profile, it is automatically added in this folder.
|
|
|
|
# How to add photos?
|
|
|
|
You have two ways of adding fotos:
|
|
- Via Dishub's web interface
|
|
- With a File Manager using Webdav
|
|
|
|
## Via Dishub's web interface
|
|
![Photo_add](en/Photo_add.gif)
|
|
|
|
Click on the album you want to add photo into and click on **Add Photos**.
|
|
|
|
There are a few options:
|
|
- **Enter an album name**: it is automatically the name of the folder you're into. But you can change it and choose to create a new folder.
|
|
- **Title (optional)**: photo's name
|
|
- **Create a status post for this upload**: that means that a post will be created on your channel with this photo.
|
|
- **Description (optional)**: it will be added into the post that goes with your photo.
|
|
- **Locker**: to set the permissions, meaning who will be able to see your photo.
|
|
|
|
Click on **Upload** to choose a photo.
|
|
|
|
## With a File Manager using Webdav
|
|
WebDAV is especially useful if you use a Gnu/Linux operating system like Ubuntu/Debian. Different File Managers might have different ways of setting up a Webdav folder
|
|
|
|
Using Lubuntu File Manager:
|
|
|
|
On the file browsing application (which in windows is called “file explorer”; different desktop environments have a different one, but it is the graphical interface you can use to browse through the files and folders in your computer) you go to “Go”, in the menu.
|
|
|
|
![](en/Photo_Album_Lubuntu_01.jpg)
|
|
|
|
- **Type:** WebDAV
|
|
- **Host:** hub.disroot.org_
|
|
- **Port:** (leave as is, or 80)
|
|
- **Path:** /dav/your_user_name_on_hub
|
|
- **Login as:** your_username_on_hub
|
|
|
|
![](en/Photo_Album_Lubuntu_02.jpg)
|
|
|
|
Your user name is the one you chose in hub.disroot.org , but when you are asked for the password, it is the one you chose for your email account (your_username@disroot).
|
|
|
|
If you get one, maybe two messages, saying the location has been moved and/or it has not been mounted.
|
|
|
|
It is because on the address bar, it needs to be: davs://username@etc
|
|
|
|
Once you input that “s” manually it allows to see your folders and from there you can drag more folders and pictures that will then show on the page.
|
|

|
|
- On the lower bar type the path of the webdav folder
|

**Adding photos and Albums via File Manager**
