Planet Kubb:Uploading and tagging photos

The Planet Kubb Wiki also serves as a repository for various photographs from various Kubb events. The wiki allows you to attach photos to events, clubs, teams and players! Once those connections are made, the photos will show up throughout the wiki when you view those various things.

Why put things here instead of or in addition to Facebook or other sites? Because here the photos will be easily available forever and they will be properly integrated with the information about the event. While your looking at the Minnesota Kubb Loppet Tournament 2013 and seeing the lists of teams and matches, you'll get to experience the photos right there!

Here are step-by-step directions to do it.

Go to the Upload page
In the left hand sidebar there is a Toolbox section with a link called Upload file. Click that.



Choose your photo
Now click on the Choose File button and then pick the file from your computer or device (this will work fine from up-to-date smart phones).



Name and Summary
Give the file a name, or just leave it with the default filename. The next step is critical though, in the Summary field you must put the following text in:

The screen will look like:



It is absolutely critical that you put that text in the summary. That is what tells the wiki that this is a photograph that should be handled special. If you forget to do it, you can Edit the file after you upload it and add the text and hit save.

Upload
Click on upload.



Edit with Form
Now the photograph is uploaded and it's time to associate it with stuff in the wiki! Click on Edit with Form



Form
You will now see the full form. Here you can specify who the photographer was, as well as a caption for the photo. Additionally, you can start adding Events, Clubs, Teams and Players to the photo!



Typeahead Values
The form will make this pretty easy. If the event, club, team or player is already in the wiki you will be prompted with type ahead like this.



You can add as many of these associations as you wish. You can also do this with photos that have already been uploaded if you see a player that isn't tagged in the photo.

All Done
Here is the form all filled in with all associations.



This example created File:20130202-091951-14694.jpg, you can the associations on it's.

Hit Save page and you are all done. Now any of the pages that you tagged will pull this photo in. ''The wiki does cache information, so it may take a couple hours for the images to show up on the other pages. Have no worry though, it will.''
