Creating an Event Group

  1. Go to http://www.photostockplus.com/ and log into your account. If you are unsure how to log in, see Logging In.
  2. Click on the “Event Albums” tab for a dropdown menu with additional options.
  3. From the dropdown menu, select “Create New Group”
  4. Click “Continue Creating Album”
  5. Enter the required fields:
    • Album title
      In the field provided, give your new event group a name.
    • Select template
      You can give each event group you create a unique template. Click on the “Select” tab to open a new window where you may preview each available template. Click the thumbnail version of the template for a larger preview, and “Choose this template” to accept a template for the group.
    • Select main event photo
      Consider this the one image you’d like to showcase and use as a first impression of the event group. You will be able to choose the main event photo once you have uploaded images to an event album within the event group.
    • Feature event group on my main home page
      On your Photostockplus homepage (www.user_name.photostockplus.com), you can have multiple event groups and albums featured with a thumbnail in the ”Featured Events” section. Select this box to have this event group featured, or leave it unselected to have it simply added in the drop down menu.
    • Header Area
      The text entered will be displayed towards the top of the event group’s homepage. Use the space in whichever way you feel most appropriate.
      Using the small icons above the field, you can change the formatting of the text, add a Photostockplus banner to help introduce various products to potential buyers (large “B” icon), a scrolling Marquee to display eye catching messages (large “M” icon”), or even various images (picture frame icon).
      For those comfortable with basic coding and who want to add other html or flash elements, click on the “Toggle editor/raw to add HTML or flash code“ link below the field for complete control. Once in the manual HTML editor, you must toggle back to the regular editor once again for the changes to be applied.
    • Description
      The description entered will be displayed on your event group’s. Use the space in whichever way you feel most appropriate, and which best ”sells” your album.

You can now proceed to adding existing event albums to your newly created event group
