When creating a new Photo Album there are five fields to fill out but only one of them is actually required.
The name of the album is the first field and the only required one. The name represents this album in the listing of all the photo albums and throughout phpWebSite.
The second field is a short; it allows you to add a short description of your album. This may be used in something like a search result.
The next option is to choose whether or not you want the album to be viewable by the public. Selecting visable makes it viewable by your users and the public alike. Selecting hidden keeps it out of the view of the public and only administrators with access can see the album.
Next you can select a category for the album to go in. This is very useful if you would like the album to show up as related data. If you do not understand categories and wish to find out more, please refer to the chapter about the FatCat Categorizer.
Finally you can add an extended description of your photo album. This is shown when listing all your albums so visitors can read about them. A wysiwyg html editor is provided for adding very basic html tags to the description.
