General Gallery Properties

Gallery Name -- This is a short descriptive name of the gallery.  This will be used as the title of the gallery on the gallery home page.  It can also be displayed in many of the various gallery templates using ##GalleryName##.

Web Folder Name -- This is the name that will be used in the Search Engine Friendly (SEF) URL.  For example, if the administrator has setup your account to be http://www.somedomain.com/mysite/ then if the gallery web folder name was "Family_Pictures" the full URL would be:

http://www.somedomain.com/mysite/Family_Pictures/

It is recommended that you avoid spaces and special characters in the web folder name.  Use an Underscore "_" instead of a space.

Long Description -- Use this field to enter a longer description of the Gallery.  This field is dynamically included in the proper templates using ##GalleryText##.

Gallery Access -- Select the type of access you will allow to this gallery.  Only the "Full Anonymous Access" option is enabled if you have not yet defined 1 or more Membership Types.  Types include:

• Full Anonymous Access: Gives everyone full access to the gallery and all sub pages.  This includes viewing thumbnails, full size images, sending eCards, adding comments, ratings, etc.
  

• Membership Required to view Full Size Images, send eCards: This options allows anonymous access to view the list of categories in a gallery, as well as thumbnail images.  Access to all other pages is denied until the web user subscribes as a member.

ECard Properties

Send eCard in Email -- Choose this option to have eCards sent as an HTML email with the eCard embedded in the message.  If you do not choose this option then the eCard recipient is notified that they must pickup their eCard and are sent a link to click and pickup the eCard.  The look and feel of the eCard is determined by the "eCard Template".

Maximum Number of eCard Recipients -- You can allow people to send an eCard to up to 5 recipients.  This option allows you to specify the maximum number of recipients you wish to allow your users/members to send to at a given time.  When using this option each eCard is sent individually rather than using an email CC method.

Email Character Set -- If you use any special characters in your eCard email messages, specify the character set in this field.  The default is "ISO-8859-1".

eCard Form Fields

The fields below determine what fields appear on the eCard form.

Include Subscribe to Newsletter Check Box --  Check this box to include a checkbox on the eCard form that states "Subscribe Me to your Newsletter".  These email addresses can then be exported out of Image Gallery Pro for use in email marketing software such as eNewsletter Pro (http://www.enewsletterpro.com)

Include Custom Field 1 through 5 -- You can collect up to 5 optional fields from users sending eCards.  Check any options and then define the field you wish to collect.  For example, you might ask "How old are you?", or "Enter your gender", etc.

Include Background Music -- Check this option to allow users to include background music in their eCards.

Include Pickup Email Notification -- Check this option to allow users to be notified when their eCard is picked up.  If you chose the option "Send eCard in email" then this option will never appear on the eCard form.

Delete Sent Cards After X Days -- Choose this option to purge old eCards from the system.  Choose never to keep the cards infinitely.  If you will be using the collected email addresses for email marketing then it is advised that you choose "Never" so that you do not delete the collected email addresses.

From Name -- Specify what name should be used as the "From" name for all eCards sent by your users.

From Email -- Specify what Email address should be used as the "From Email" for all eCards sent by your users.  The "Reply To" address used will be the Senders email address so that all replies go to the sender.
