How do I link to my PBase pages?
Link to your root gallery (all of your galleries)
example: http://www.pbase.com/username
Link to one of your galleries
example: www.pbase.com/username/gallery name
Link to a single image using default size
example: www.pbase.com/image/image number
Specify the size of an image
example: www.pbase.com/image/image number/size
Direct linking to an image for use on another website, forums, or message boards:
Due to bandwidth costs, you can only use this feature if you have paid.
This works just like linking to an image page but append .jpg to the end of the URL.
example: www.pbase.com/image/image number.jpg
example: www.pbase.com/image/image number/size.jpg
Note: to direct link to a .gif, use the .jpg extension also. It will still send the gif file.
The number in the image URLs is that photo's image_id which is a unique number across the site. You can find this number by viewing that photo and looking at the URL in your browser's address/location bar near the top or by holding your mouse over the thumbnail for that photo, and looking at the URL in your browser's status bar at the bottom.
IMPORTANT
Please use only the hostname www.pbase.com or pbase.com in your URLs. These will always work. Other hosts such as image2, genjaro, www2, ji, or anything similar might work or seem to work at first, but are server specific and may become invalid as the site hardware architecture changes. One goal of pbase is to never break incoming links to the site. When changes are made to the URL structure, the old ways still work. But for this to work, you must use the official URLs as explained above. |

Organizing the Gallery
-
- Images in your gallery are ordered by their sequence number. If you want one image to come before another, make its sequence number less than the other. Adjust all the sequence numbers you need, then hit the Update Titles and Sequence Numbers button.
By default, the image with the lowest sequence number will be the representative image of that gallery.
-
- One image from each gallery is shown in your main galleries page.
By default, the image with the lowest sequence number will be shown, but if you want to choose an image, click the represent link next to that image. Only one image per gallery will be the representative image.
-
- You can add titles to all the images in a gallery at once on the edit gallery page. This saves you from editing each individual image.
Just edit the gallery.
Fill in the titles by the image listings.
Click the "Update Titles and Sequence Numbers" button.
-
- You can update many images at one time using the "Batch Update..." tool on the edit gallery page for any gallery. Use this tool to update title, caption, artist, location, shot date, camera body, camera lens, film type, tech notes, keywords, and publicity of images. First, select the checkboxes by all images you want to update on the edit gallery page. Scroll down to the "Batch Update..." section. Set the appropriate values for any of the fields you are altering. Click the "Update Images" button.... (more)
-
- When editing your gallery, click on the sequencing tab.
Next to subgalleries, there are two options:
add new subgalleries to the beginning of the gallery OR add new subgalleries to the end of the gallery.
Click the appropriate box. Click the Update Placement Settings button.
-
- When editing a gallery, if you want the new images to be seen at the beginning of the gallery instead of the end, click on the "sequencing" tab.
Beside "Images" there are two options: you may either add new images to the beginning of the gallery, or add new images to the end of the gallery.
Click the circle next to "add new images to the beginning of the gallery".
Click the "Update Placement Settings" button.
-
- In order to link subgalleries, go to the Advanced Settings page in the gallery which you want to link from. Select the check box to use Linked Subgalleries Click Update For example: Say you have an Italy gallery. Within the Italy gallery, you have subgalleries for various Italian cities. It would be nice if people could jump directly from the Venice subgallery to the Bologna subgallery without having to go back through the main Italy gallery to get there. The solution is to use linked subgalleries.... (more)
-
- A gallery can be broken into multiple pages, which is useful if there are many images in one gallery.
Choose the number of images you want per page next to the "multi-page gallery" option, or leave blank to have all images on one page. This will insert Page Breaks at the appropriate locations when you choose to update the gallery.
