Help:Image gallery

From BugwoodWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Adding a gallery of images can be quite useful in illustrating a species, a concept, or to give a clearer idea of the subject being discussed. Our image galleries fall into two groups:

  1. Images hand selected by a user on any topic. (See Image Collections for details)
  2. Images selected by the Bugwood Network Staff to represent a species

Contents

Adding a gallery of user selected images

<bgallery collection=####/>

...where #### is the number of the collection. The collection number is only available to the user that created the collection unless they share it.

Adding a gallery of representative images selected for a particular species

There are 2 ways to call the gallery of images that Bugwood has selected.

Using the scientific name

<bsubjectgallery sciname='XXXX'/>

...where XXXX is the scientific name for the organism you want. The single quotes around the name are required.

Using the Bugwood Subject ID

<bsubjectgallery subject=####/>

...where #### is the subject number. The steps for finding the subject number are:

  1. Go to look-up tool for Subjects with Image Collections. It is Flash based so please be patient as it loads.
  2. Use the drop-down menu at the top to select "Name", "Genus", "Species", or "Variety" based on what you'd like to look the subject up by.
  3. Start typing in the blank and the table will start to sort.
  4. When you find what you are looking for copy the ID (or Valid ID if that exists).
  5. Copy the Subject number (####) and use it. If you notice that there are not many images for a subject and you have some to contribute, please contact the Bugwood Network Staff.
