<li>Create a directory on your computer.</li>
<li>Copy some photos inside this directory, resize them for web display. <em>Warning</em>: the name of directories and files must contain only letters, figures, "-", "_" or ".". No blank space, nor accentuated characters.</li>
<li>With a FTP client, copy your directory in the "galleries" directory of your Piwigo installation.</li>
<li>Logon your gallery and go to <span class="pwgScreen">Administration</span> and click on the big Synchronization button.</li>
</ol>
<p>Congratulations! You have successfully created the first album of your photo gallery.</p>

<li>
<p>Album directories are in the Piwigo directory
"galleries". Here follows the directory tree of a very small gallery (but
using many features):</p>

<li>Except for "pwg_representative" and "pwg_format" (see explanations below), each directory under "galleries" produces a album. There is no limit on deepness.</li>
<li>Basically, an element is represented by a file. A file can be a
Piwigo element if its extension is among <code>file_ext</code>
configuration parameter possibilities (see <span
class="filename">include/config_default.inc.php</span> file). A file can
be a picture if its extension is among <code>picture_ext</code>
configuration parameter possibilities.</li>
<li>Non photo elements (video, sounds, file texts, whatever you want...) are represented by default by an icon corresponding to the filename
extension. Optionally, you can associate a thumbnail and a representative
file (see video.avi in the example above).</li>
<li>Multiple formats: a photo can be available in several formats. In this example, we have 3 additional formats for img0001.jpg. You can activate this feature with <code>$conf['enable_formats'] = true;</code> in your local configuration and define a list of formats, like <code>$conf['format_ext'] = array('cmyk.jpg', 'cr2', 'zip');</code></li>
<li><em>Warning</em>: the name of directories and files must contain only letters, figures, "-", "_" or ".". No blank space, nor accentuated characters.</li>
<li>Once photos are correctly placed in the
directories, go to: <span class="pwgScreen">Administration &raquo; Tools &raquo;
Synchronize</span></li>
</ul>
