C1CoverFlow Quick Start

For this Quick Start, you will first need to create a SharePoint Picture Library. We will use images that are already installed with Windows, but if you already have a Picture Library, or want to use your own images when creating a Picture Library, go for it.

Your picture library can include gif, png, and jpg files. You can also add tooltips to the images, see Using the C1CoverFlow Web Part.

To create a SharePoint Picture Library

1. On the Site Actions menu, choose More Options...
2. Choose Picture Library as the Type (you will need to scroll down). 
3. Name the library "My Windows Pictures" and click Create.
4. Click the Upload drop down and choose Upload Multiple Pictures.

   

5. The Microsoft Picture Upload dialog box will open. In the Picture Shortcuts pane on the left, choose Add Picture Shortcut.

6. Navigate to one of the following:

   • In Windows 7 or Vista: C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures

   • In XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures\Sample Pictures

7. Choose the folder and click the Add button. The pictures will display in the upload dialog box. Select all the pictures displayed.
8. In the Upload settings, choose the Send Pictures Optimized for Viewing on the web radio button.
9. Click the Upload and Close button.
