How to Upload Files: Documents/Images-Graphics

Step 1 - Select the Source file(s) -- documents and/or image-graphic files -- you intend to upload and prepare them.

  • They need to rendered in one of the GP360 wiki-acceptable formats: pdf, png, gif, jpg, jpeg
  • Choose a unique name to describe your file content, for example Project Name_Description_Number.pdf (or png, etc)
  • The allowed maximum file size is 100 MB (Smaller/compressed files will load more quickly and depending on your connection speed to the Internet you may want to choose smaller/compressed files to speed uploads.) Save your images-graphics so that they are under 800 pixels maximum.
  • Some images-graphics files will need to be re-sized to fit into the page layout as you selectively choose. You may need to render several file sizes and upload these individually until you have the page layout you decide is best.
  • Note the content should not be copyrighted material unless suitable permission for distribution of these documents has been obtained and/or the material is allowed to be distributed by way of ‘fair use’ or other means, including commons license. Many government materials are available freely for public distribution and public-interest/educational materials are often intended for public distribution Use of Materials on this Site

Step 2 - After choosing the Source file(s) you will be uploading, go to the ‘Upload file’ template below and Browse to your file content on your computer.

  • Clicking on the Browse button will enable you to search, find, select your Source file(s) for uploading. Once you select and click the file(s) to be uploaded, you will need to select where you want to display your files within the GreenPolicy360 site.
  • Go to the Index/Categories page and select what page you want to link your content to...
  • The following ‘markups’ are used to determine exactly how the uploaded doc/image will be displayed in one of the following forms. Include the markup formatting you want to use when you upload your content:
[[Image:File.jpg]] to use the full version of the file
[[Image:File.jpg|200px|thumb|left|alt text]] to use a 200 pixel wide rendition of the image displayed in a box in the left margin of a page with 'alt text' as description
[[Media:File.jpg]] for directly linking to the file source without displaying the file
