Uploading files
If you have followed the steps in Posting a Simple Announcement, then uploading files is very simple.
Navigate in the web interface to the required folder, for example
https://github.com/souldern/souldern.github.io/tree/master/parish-church
Then use the Upload Files button and drag and drop the required files into the upload box then Commit as usual.
For security reasons there are some restrictions on the file types that may be uploaded via the web. If there is a special file that needs to be uploaded contact David Carlisle, any file may be uploaded via the commandline interface not discussed in these pages.
One-off files that are linked from announcements etc may have any filename, but regular series of files that are posted are best named such that they list in date order automatically. Naming the files this way allows automatic links to the latest files to be generated. See for example the Newsletter and Parish Council Minutes directories.
For high resolution photographs it is better to use the Google Photo Server which will handle serving suitable files for the device being used, However it is often convenient to upload small “web quality” images at the same time as the main text page.
To refer to an image uploaded to this site use:
To refer to an image in Google Photos, get a “get link” from the share menu in the Photos site, Follow that link to get the (long) URL to the image then use on this site in the same way as a local link:
If you have several images it is better (and simpler) to make an Album in google photos and then make a slideshow, see the examples on the gallery page.
