I am using emAlbum Pro as my photo album. How do I create galleries and upload pictures?
The easiest way to upload pictures is to use FTP. When you signed up with your
hosting company you should have recived this information.
- If using a web browser, type in the URL box ftp://yourftpusername:ypurftppassword@yourdomain.com (i.e. ftp://johndoe:123456@johnsplace.com.
- If you are using an FTP client such as WSFTP_PRO
or CUTE FTP follow the instruction wizard fronm the software to connect to your site.
- Once you have the site open in a client or a browser, navigate to a folder in the root directory calld emAlbum.
- Open the emAlbum folder and find a folder called albums.
- Open the albums folder. Here you can create a new folder, this will become a gallery on your live site, so name it accordingly.
- After creating your gallery open that folder, you can now upload your FULL SIZE pictures to the folder you created.
- These images will now be resized to the preset size set in the admin of emAlbum automaticaly on first visit to the site..

This is a simple fix with some PHP code. The Fix can be located Here. Or simply use this code, taken from the link above and put your UA number in:
<?php
$request_type = (($request_type == ''SSL'') ? HTTPS_SERVER : HTTP_SERVER);
if ($request_type == HTTPS_SERVER) {
define(''GOOGLE_HTTP'', ''https://ssl.'');
} else {
define(''GOOGLE_HTTP'', ''http://www.'');
}
?>
<script src="<?php echo((GOOGLE_HTTP) . ''google-analytics.com/urchin.js''); ?>">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-XXXXXXX-X";
urchinTracker();
</script>
