Cemetery Photos

Solution summery

• There is really not a need to use Map image to upload*: from the Cemeteries >> Edit Existing Cemetery dialog ... if you are using Google maps function
• To incorporate general candid images of a cemetery (aka: the entrance, offices, and overview shots)
  • Add this type of Media File as a separate image under the collection heading of "headstones"
  • Dont link it to a person
  • Under Media Information section ... click the check box Link this media directly to the selected cemetery

The Problem (my display of data)

I must be posting/uploading/categorizing my photos incorrectly?!?!?

• This is a screen capture from my TNG site

Proper display

• Apparently the correct way to display the images

Solutions (part A)

Link check box

Reply from Ken If you check the box "Link this media directly to the selected cemetery" then I believe the headstone images show like you are seeing them. That box is designed to add pictures of the cemetery itself in the Headstone media collection In order to get the images to show in the headstone section: a - uncheck or do not check the box "Link this media directly to the selected cemetery" b - select the cemetery from the pull down next to "Cemetery:"

Question (Part 2)

• Now that I see why the photos of the headstones are displaying under the heading "Cemetery Photos" instead of "Headstones" ... does this mean that I can assign several photos to a cemetery and have them display with the cemetery information ... hummmm ... I will have to experiment --Bgaugler 15:25, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Answer to my own question

• Yes

Problem

• Deleting a photo that had been uploaded as "Map image to upload" from Cemeteries >> Edit Existing Cemetery
