About Uploads
An upload is our nomenclature for a gallery. Since we allow you to upload both images and traditional files such as PDFs the name "gallery" becomes inappropriate. So we call this mash of items an upload. Note this is different from Tuzulo's first version, where the term "collection" was applied.
Management of Uploads
Accessing your uploads is significantly easier if you have an account because we include an upload history tracker. For users without accounts, you'll have to remember the upload URL, of the form:
You can do several things with uploads and their associated items (images or files):
- You can pick a different preview size.
- You can apply a title.
- You can delete the upload (which results in 404 Not Found messages).
- You can add more or remove individual items.
- You can apply captions, descriptions or tags to individual items.
- You can edit images by applying gravity stickiness and altering rotation.
- You can re-arrange items in a specific order (drag and drop – subscribers only).
Deleting anything on Tuzulo is a physical delete. So this comes with two cautionary notes: first there is no undo. Second is that since the physical media is deleted you could create 404 (Not Found) errors for your visitors. It could be argued that a different HTTP response code should be given in the headers. We may elect to change the semantics of how deleted media works in the future by issuing 410 (Gone) responses in the face of removed media items.
Anonymous Uploads
Uploads without using an account are called anonymous. If you use your account or obtain a new one within one hour of providing an anonymous upload from the same IP address, you have the option of reclaiming your anonymous uploads.
Once reclaimed the management and ownership are transferred to you and public access to the upload management URL is impaired. From then on you must use your account to manage the upload.
Choosing a Preview Size
You can select from a number of layouts by choosing a different preview size. Codes are automatically generated as are optimized thumbnails with gravity and rotation changes applied. Selection is handled through the management URL. Uploads are viewed with a URL of the form:
This URL can obviously be shared. The hash code, which you obtain from the management page references all the items in your upload, in the order and size you've chosen.
Upload Limits
Not all preview sizes are free and all uploaded items may not be shown directly.
