As a result of the policies that have been agreed by the UKB team, I'll be heavily-pruning my own contribution

As many UKButts members have previously posted some of their favourite shots of various species in their personal galleries, it is likely to be some of these same images which they would select for adding to the open/closed-access Species-Specific galleries. I would certainly be happy for any of the images I've put in my gallery to be used if they were thought useful and I'm sure others would feel the same about their images, but my question is: Would users need to re-post these images into the new album?
Trev
Yes. If there's a better convention that could be followed I'd appreciate hearing it. Perhaps adding a new field to the image details rather than free-form text?m_galathea wrote:Not sure about the Location/Date code though, that is still displayed in the description, is this correct?
I did think about that - but it didn't seem to offer any advantages.m_galathea wrote:My only suggestion is that in the same way as the species pages of the site, it would be good to see "primary" and "secondary" species listed separately.
They're already there (subspecies as well). My assumption is that we don't need different albums for ova, larva and pupae of either subspecies, forms or aberrations - only for the imago.Dave McCormick wrote:Just checking, you have everything on the albums except aberrations and forms, might need to add those
I've justed updated the guidelines to show the album structure. See http://www.ukbutterflies.co.uk/gallery_guidelines.phpPete Eeles wrote:They're already there (subspecies as well).

Aberrations appear as a subdirectory of every "imago", "subspecies" and "form" album.

In some cases, when submitting a photo, we will need to indicate whether the side view of (say) a Skipper is that of a male or a female. Are we going to be able to incorporate that information into the data boxes or are we going to need another box which we can use for words like "male" or "variant" etc.

I never noticed until I went onto the albums, but I see its all there now.Pete Eeles wrote:I've justed updated the guidelines to show the album structure.

Hi Trev - you've done nothing wrong!Trev Sawyer wrote:A few minutes ago, I tried posting a shot using the [LOCATION] and [DATE] tags system in the image description box. When I viewed it (including hovering over the photo), it didn't show the relevant info about where and when the snap was taken. Should it automatically show the details, or did I do something wrong? NB: I've taken the photo off for the time being.

I'm wondering if this might be the best approach until I really know what the mechanism is going to be!Pete Eeles wrote:This information can always be added retrospectively.
