+sis Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 how do you get an image of your travel bug in the gallery? Quote Link to comment
WH Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Unfortuantely, the gallery only displays pictues that youve posted in your cache logs. Quote Link to comment
+sis Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 so all those images in the gallery came from cache logs . Thanks, WH, for the quick response! Quote Link to comment

+MissJenn Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 (edited) Ya know - I had always asssumed that those came from recently activated bugs - from the "main" picture that appears in the TB's description. I learned something already today, and it's early yet! Edited March 25, 2004 by MissJenn Quote Link to comment
+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 When you activate the bug you also have the option of addind a photo to it. You can also go back to the edit page and add a photo. Quote Link to comment
+sis Posted March 26, 2004 Author Share Posted March 26, 2004 well that's just it. i made a new bug and added a picture on the tb page; but it does not appear in the gallery. that was why i asked. i wondered why adding the picture to the log would make it appear. it seems all pics anybody logged would appear in the gallery and they don't...so i continue to look around to figure this out...

+brad.32 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 The pictures in the TB gallery come from the TB description page, but I don't know what determines whether a bug gets into the gallery. Pictures in the user profile gallery come from the cache logs as WH wrote. (They are all pictures and not photographs, of course ) Quote Link to comment

I went to your tb page for "brother" and didn't see the picture on the page itself. Go to the tb page and click on "edit." Select your bug's image in the drop-down and submit the changes. This will put the picture directly on the bug's page and may then put it in the gallery. Quote Link to comment
+RichardMoore Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Unfortuantely, the gallery only displays pictues that youve posted in your cache logs. I think you're confusing the travel bug gallery with the gallery on the profile pages. Quote Link to comment
+sis Posted March 26, 2004 Author Share Posted March 26, 2004 the picture of brother is at the bottom of his description, Albeit, you do have to clink on the camera icon to see dude. Maybe you have to display the actual picture on the page. haven't figured that out either. meanwhile, brother circled around middle tennessee then took off to indiana. if you see him, sign 'em, enjoy, and you can tell i'll welcome all pictures. btw, thanks for trying to help figure out the travel bug gallery.

Maybe you have to display the actual picture on the page. haven't figured that out either. That's what I mean. Unless they changed the way that it's done (possible, but it looks about the same) in order to get the picture on the cache page you have to go to the page (while logged on the site) and edit it. When you click on "edit" it will bring up an option of which picture you want to use. I don't know why it's set up that way, but I have sent out several bugs and that's what I had to do to get the picture on the page. Quote Link to comment
+sis Posted March 27, 2004 Author Share Posted March 27, 2004 tada! i followed your directions and now i have brother's picture on his page. i don't see it in the gallery yet; but maybe it takes a bit of time. thank you very much for your time and patience. smilin' sis Quote Link to comment
+sis Posted March 27, 2004 Author Share Posted March 27, 2004 found him! brother's on page 78 of the gallery. so the order of the pictures must be when you bought the tags and not when you create it. thanks again for everybody's help. sis Quote Link to comment
+Markwell Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 It's in my FAQ, but I think the exact method might have changed recently. Basically you need to upload the image to the bug page and select it as the "official" image for that bug. Once you do that, it shows up in the gallery. Quote Link to comment
+sis Posted April 2, 2004 Author Share Posted April 2, 2004 markwell, you have alot of good information there! not just about galleries, either. the graphics are nice, too! thanks. sis Quote Link to comment
