Upload tab

On this tab you can view your gallery in your Internet browser, select your upload settings and upload your Web gallery.

For more information, please click on the icon below:



To learn about integrating with an existing website please see the FAQs.

How to use this feature

The wizard includes a built-in preset so that you can test your upload functionality and server connection. This preset will enable the upload of a small gallery (maximum 2MB -- about 10 images) for testing purposes only. These test galleries are not meant to be permanent, and we will perform periodic clean-up on the server.

Upload settings:

  • Select your upload Preset name from the drop down menu. To add or delete presets, use the Presets tab 
  • If you filled in the fields for User ID and Password when you entered your upload settings on the Presets tab, these fields will be filled in when you select the Preset name from the drop down menu
  • If you did not enter the User ID and/or the Password for security reasons, you will need to fill in both of these fields in order to upload your gallery

To Upload your gallery:

  • Click the Upload button. To stop the upload, click the Cancel button 
  • The Uploading file progress bar shows you the upload progress for each file
  • The Total progress bar shows you the status of your entire gallery

To Upload only recent files to the Web server:

  • Check the Upload only recent files checkbox
  • Shozam will compare modified date & time of each file with the date & time for the respective files on the Web server
  • Shozam will not upload local files which have the same timestamp (or are older) than the respective files on the Web server

TIP: To generate only those files you have changed, check the "Generate modified files only" box in the Step 5, Generate tab.

To View online gallery:

  • This feature lets you view your uploaded gallery quickly
  • In order for this feature to work, youi need to have correctly filled in the HTTP field when you entered your settings in the Preset tab
  • If you have checked The Mark of the Web box in the Step 5, Link tab, your videos may not play. Your videos will play after your gallery has been uploaded. See The Mark of the Web for more information

To Promote your gallery:

  • This feature lets you extend your gallery to other Web sites like social networks and blogs
  • Click Promote, and the program will generate a code snippet that appears in a pop-up window
  • Copy the code snippet and paste it into the appropriate "embed widget" location on another Web site. For more information, click on the About Promote icon above
  • Click OK to close the pop-up window
