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 ...... ![Huh ???](https://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

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.
