| To enter a photo: 3B does not currently host photos. For a photo to appear in a village, the photo needs to be on a web site. You can do this by setting up an account at one of the many photo sharing sites:
eg. Flickr, Kodak, Fuji - or you can find other photo sharing sites in our 3B photography city. Once you have uploaded the photo, you have a web address which you can copy into the form.
So assuming you have your photos on a web site, there are two ways of getting them into 3B.
1. In two clicks you can use a whole gallery if your photos are on flickr or photobucket. Go to http://bbb.3B.net and paste the web address of your gallery. That's not the address of an individual photo, so the url should NOT end in jpg.
2. If you want to add individual photos you can decide which photo you want on each wall panel.
Create an account here at http://village.3B.net. It then gives you the option to enter individual urls for each photo. In tihs case the URLs are of the photos and do end in 'jpg' not the gallery.
For advanced users
If you don't plan to share the village with other people, and just
want to view it on your own computer, then you can include photos
from your machine by prefixing the photo file as described below. However, you can only do this if you edit the bbb file manually rather than using the web form.
To edit the village manually, right click on the link to the bbb file in the village editing menu and save the file to your desktop. Then open it in wordpad. You will see a number of lines that contain the text URL="XXXX". In between the two quotes you can add the link described below.
This is how to include a prefix to use the photos on your local machine
file:///c:/ and after that have the path-to-file/filename
For example: file:///c:/My%20Documents/filename.jpg
In fact you should be able to copy this from your explorer window.
If you just drag the photo into web view, it should give you the path above
Once you are finished adding photos, to open the village you can click on the bbb file that you saved to your machine. You have to click on the file to re-open it every time you edit it, because there is a bug. |
