If you are a student of mine or a student of anything and want to create an online tutorial of something and put it on this site then follow these instructions please.
- LOGIN: You have to login to get permission to create pages on this site.
- ADD A PAGE: Create a "page" with content in it. You do this by clicking on this link Add Page
- Make sure that you give the tutorial a new URL name. There is a section in the Add Page submission form that is called "URL Path settings". Type in one word that is easy for you to remember and type. Something like "YourName_Fluidtutorial1".
- ADD A LINK TO THE PAGE: Create a link to that page and properly categorize it.
- You do this by clicking on this link. Add userlink
- When you enter in the URL for the userlink, do NOT put in a link starting with "http://www.symphonicenergy.com/". Instead you just have to use the name for the page that you created in the step above, which in this case was "YourName_Fluidtutorial1".
- Finally, make sure to hit the "Submit" button at the bottom of each creation page. That means once for the "Add page" form and once for the "Add userlink" page.
Please respond to this post if you have any questions. I'll modify the instructions as people try them out and make suggestions.
To see your tutorial as others would see it, then logout and click on the "view everyone's links" link in Symphonic Energy's top right side "Links menu".
You should see your link listed in the category that you gave your link. If not then post to this group and we'll get any problems worked out.
As of Wednesday February 28, 2007, you can now ADD IMages to the photo gallery to reference in your tutorials. You only have permissions to add images to the sub-albums of the AAU Photo Album within the Photo Gallery on this site.
Here is a link to the AAU parent photo album. You will see sub-ablums within that album. There is one sub album per class. PLEASE ONLY ADD IMAGES INTO THE PHOTO ALBUM THAT IS NAMED AFTER THE CLASS THAT YOU ARE IN.
Trying to create a link to a photo
Let's see if I can imbed an image from the gallery:
Let's try the G2 image block syntax
Let's the G2 filter type described in the "Content Composition Tips" page.
[G2:item_id n=number type=type size=number class=name frame=name album_frame=name item_frame=name]
Above is the syntax.
And I'll use [ G2:2287 n=1 ]
[G2:2287 n=1]
Another trick.
To create an image in the webgallery or photo gallery navigate to the proper AAU->class photo album. One of these:
Then click on the "Add Item" icon. Fill out the form you need to upload an image. Then after you have successfully uploaded the image into the photo gallery you need to be able to reference it in your tutorial.
The best way I have found to do this is to use a handy Firefox web browser feature called "Copy Image Location". This option/feature is given to you (or displayed) when you click on the second mouse button while your mouse is over the image.
This causes the "ACTUAL" image location is copied to the copy/paste buffer. You then need to edit your tutorial webpage and add a "img scr" html code section to it. Your html code syntax should look something like this:
<img src="http://www.symphonicenergy.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=2287&g2_serialNumber=2&g2_GALLERYSID=ce288a172bebb6e22c0176c84fc533eb">
I know it is long, but it works. Don't be affraid, it is not that hard.
Enabling images in your tutorials.
To enable your images to work you needed to change the "Input Format" from Filtered to "Full HTML". Then submit. Then they are active.
Here is a link showing where you do this.
[G2:2338 n=1]
