Thanks for the speed response. I’ve completed the upgrade to 1.3 and it looks as if everything is fine. Although I have a few more questions.

1. The images that you upload for the various exhibitions, would you recommend up loading images to separate directories. For example you have a exhibition called people would you create a directory called people with respective sub-directories for the various sizes thumbs, micro thumbs etc. Then create another directory for Photojournalism. It seems that this may be easier way mange the images as apposed to putting all images in one directory. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

2. When I view the index page of the public area or one of the exhibitions I get the black navigation bar at the top the has links to Exhibitions and news, Canon digital photography forum and so on. Can this be deleted or commented out. I know HTML and how to comment out stuff using How and where can I remove or comment out the black navigation bar at the top.

3. The news section on the index page can this feature be turned on and off as needed?

Thanks again and I think that you’ve done a wonderful job with EE

For many users the most logical way would be having a distinct folder for each exhibition like

Animals
- thumbs
- microthumbs
- small
- normal
- big

I personally do not work that way and I even share sizes accross servers to even out server load. EE lets you decide - only rule is that each exhibition uses only one thumb and one microthumb folder, and they should be on same server EE code is in. I'm considering changing EE to accept "per photo" thumb folders for added flexibility, but the current rule makes all much clearer.

In 1.3's misc settings add you html code in "header" input box. This will override what's in "header.php" (the php code for header, found in EE root dir). If you just want to get rid of the header block add one empty space on header input box.

Yes, in 1.3 go to misc settings editor and set number of news to zero (0). This number tells EE how many latest news to display, even if you set it to 0 you can still have several news ready in database and add new news using news editor.
