| - | =====Allowed Media Types===== | ||
| - | Each album can be configured to only accept a certain type of media. If you create an album that should only contain music (i.e. MP3 files), you can make MP3s the only allowed media type. Any other type of media that is uploaded to this album will result in an error to the user informing them that the media type is not allowed. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | The list of allowed media types are: | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ^ **Image** ^ **Audio / Video** ^ **Other** ^ | ||
| - | | JPEG | MP3 | ZIP | | ||

| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | =====User Uploads===== | ||
| - | By default, only the album owner or a user with write permissions can upload media items. User uploads allows you to open the album for contributions from regular site users. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ====Allow Registered Users to Upload Media to this Album==== | ||
| - | If this feature is enabled, any logged-in users to the site will have the ability to upload media items to this album. If this is not checked (disabled), only users with write permissions to the album will be able to upload new items. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ====Turn on Moderation for this Album==== | ||
| - | Moderation allows you to store any new uploads by logged-in users into a temporary holding space where they can be reviewed and either approved for inclusion in the album or rejected and deleted. Moderation is a great tool to ensure only appropriate media items are added to your album by your user community. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | By enabling this option you will force all new media items uploaded by logged-in users to be redirected to the moderation queue. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | This option is only valid if you have **Allow Registered Users to Upload Media to this Album** enabled. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ====Moderator Group==== | ||
| - | If you have enabled moderation for this album, select the group of users who will be responsible for reviewing and approving media submissions. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ====Email Moderators on Submission==== | ||
| - | If this option is enabled, all members of the moderator group will be notified via email when new media items have been uploaded. Media Gallery tries to keep from flooding the inbox of the moderators, so if a user uploads 10 media items in a very short period of time, only one moderator email will be sent. | ||
| - | For more details on Media Gallery's moderation capabilities, see the Moderation Section. | ||
