That's exactly what I'm talking about. Are you saying you've got yours in a different directory (besides albums) ??
I've been told here by two other people that multiple level directories will not work ......

OK since you are just starting, it is best to follow what GauGau and Nibbler are telling you. What I was trying to do, i.e., placing the
archive of my photos outside of the CPG, took a long time of trial and error -- with the help of some more experienced users here. For now, stick with using the "albums" in CPG, to setup your multi-level subdirectories for your photos.
Let us just make things clear. We are just talking about the "albums" directory in the CPG -- stick with that. To be more explicit, this is what Nibbler and GauGau are telling you:
http:yoursite.com/cpg/albums/
pics/.../(photos here)
Where "
pics" is the main directory where you are going to place the photos that you will upload by FTP, as an administrator.
Note:
Be sure not to use and place your multilevel sub-directories in the "userpics" -- because that is reserved directory, as the Manual stated. You may create multi-level directories inside "
pics". For example, if you wish to alphabetize your photos under some systematic subdirectories from
A-Z, your first level sub-directories would "A", "B", "C", ... to, "Z", as folllows:
.../pics/A/.../(photos here)
.../pics/B/.../(photos here)
.../pics/C/.../(photos here)
etc.
.
.
.
to
.../pics/Z/.../(photos here)
Note that under each letter, you may create deeper level subdirectories, if you wish. That is the meaning of the "
/.../" in the illustration above. For example:
.../pics/A/almonds/(photos of almonds here)
.../pics/A/animals/(photos of animals here)
.../pics/A/apples/(photos of apples here)
etc.
where "almonds", "animals", "apples", etc., are the sub-subdirectories under "A". You may even group "almonds" and "apples" with other fruits, as follows: -> pics -> F -> fruits -> etc. following the examples above.
I hope the examples above clarify the cryptic responses of GauGau and Nibbler. I have been in your situation just a few months ago, and sometimes the setup process gets confusing.
