Sharing & organizing my docs

1. Share my docs with who I want to

To share your docs you must both specify which categories of people you allow to see them (friends, family or everybody) and assign the members of your network to one of these categories.

Mark your docs

You can choose the sharing options for docs at the time of upload or on single doc pages or by using the DocManager.



If the only box you tick is the one called "private", then you alone will be able to see the doc.

You can set the global sharing option for new docs you upload by going to your default sharing preferences.

Mark the people you know

You can "mark" people you know, as Family, Friends (or Contacts, if you leave all boxes unticked) when you invite them or when you add members already signed up on ipernity.


You can at any time change the sharing options of your docs and change the category you attributed to a member..

2. Allow/Disallow comments on my docs

We encourage you to allow comments from the greatest number of members, but it's up to you to decide!

You can specify the right to comment on your docs as a whole in your default sharing preferences (this setting will apply to your new docs).

To do this for a single doc, click on "change" in the "Comments & privacy" section and to do this for several docs at a time use the DocManager.

Please note that non-signed in visitors are unable to leave comments. If a particular member bothers you and you don't want this member's comments any more, you can block this person.

3. How do I know when new comments are left for me?

The easiest way is to check your recent activity page. On this page, all the comments members write in your space are listed in real time.
There is also a comments RSS feed to which you can subscribe, enabling you to monitor all comments made to you without your having to log in.

4. Allow/Disallow the download and publication of my docs

In addition to your sharing options, you can attribute specific rights to members of your network as well as to unregistered visitors: to download your documents, to obtain sharing codes for publishing elsewhere, or further to see photos in large format.

These options enable you to protect your docs without having to restrict their publication. They are of great value if you share your creations with the public at large. They are modifiable through the Originals & Exifs page in your preferences.

The following are the options enabling you to protect your documents:

- Original: you allow downloading, creation of access codes for sharing, and viewing photos in large format.

- Code sharing: downloading is not allowed, but a visitor has access to the codes enabling the publication of your doc in a comment or on another website.

- Large format (for photos only): When you upload an image, we create from the original file, previews of several different sizes. If you tick this box, this allows visitors to see your photos in large size, i.e. at 1024 pixels (this preview is available only if the original is of a greater size). Previews are accessed by clicking on the "View all sizes' icon above the doc.

- Nothing special: no rights, no downloading, no access codes and no large size previews.


If you are an artist/creator...
... and you share your work with the public, we advise you to grant "sharing codes" as a right to all your visitors.
And if you are worried about the use which might be made of a large format photo of yours, note that we prevent right-click copying (a white image appears instead of the original).

5. To publish a doc on another website

Publishing your docs or those of members (if they allow it) on other sites, in commentaries or blogs without having to upload them again is simple. Simply cut and paste the sharing code which we attribute to each doc:

-- The HTML code for direct display of the doc
Or
-- The URL (the doc's internet address) to create a direct link to the doc's page on ipernity

You can limit or prohibit the publication of your own documents by going into your Preferences / Originals and Exifs.

To obtain the sharing code for a photo, display it and click on the "see all sizes" icon.



Next, choose the required size, and copy the HTML code or the URL.

For other documents (audio, video ...), click on the "Download or share" icon.

6. Insert a photo or link in a comment

You have the possibility of directly displaying a photo or inserting a hypertext link in a comment. This is how you do it:
Insert a photo

If the photo is available on ipernity (one of yours or a photo by a member), you need to display it and then click on the icon "see all sizes".



Select a size, preferably under 500 pixels in width in order not to affect the layout, and copy the HTML code.
Then paste the code into your comment.

Inserting a hyperlink

Inserting a link is simple. You just have to paste the Web address (URL) directly into the comment. If you want to create a link to a doc on ipernity, you will find the URL by clicking on the "see all sizes" icon above the document.

The list of HTML tags authorized in comments is available if you click on the link below the comments field "Some HTML tags are accepted".

7. Playing music along with my photos

You can attach background audio to your photos, from ipernity audio files or music broadcasted by Jamendo, imeem, Deezer and jiwa.

Simply paste the embeddable audio player code into the description below a picture (only the code starting with <embed and ending with </ embed>).

Don't worry, we'll guide you step by step ;-)

8. Change titles, descriptions, sharing options, tags...

From your docs home page or from the page of an individual doc:
A single click is enough to modify practically all elements. Thus, to change a title, a description or sharing options, you just click on it.

With All-in-One editing:
This is accessed from your docs home page. Make use of it when you have fewer than 10 documents to modify.

With The DocManager:
This is the indispensable tool to organize your docs both easily and speedily.
The main advantage of DocManager is that it enables you to deal with many documents at the same time.
The DocManager is accessed from the "My Space" menu (by clicking on the arrow).

9. Allow/Disallow tagging of my docs

Using your Default sharing preferences, you can decide who can add tags (this choice applies to new uploads).

To act on a document, click "change" in the "Comments & privacy" section. And to act on several documents at once, use the DocManager.

10. Rotate my photos and videos

Display your doc and click on the "Rotate" icon.



Use the DocManager if you have several photos to rotate.

You can configure the automatic rotation of your photos under Originals & Exifs in your Preferences.

11. Creative Commons Licenses: managing your document rights

We have set up Creative Commons licenses and we encourage you to use them. This device allows you to inform your visitors of conditions on the use of your documents. If you do not wish to grant licenses, a copyright is added by default.

You can define a global license for your documents in your Preferences / Default license.
To grant a license for documents already uploaded, use the DocManager.

12. Replacing a doc

This option is available for PRO accounts. It allows the replacement of a doc with another, without losing comments, tags, title, description, notes and sharing options associated with it.

However, the URL and the HTML code are not modified. This means that if you created a link or published your doc elsewhere, the doc will no longer be accessible.

13. "Favorite" docs

During your visits on ipernity, you will no doubt have appreciated some docs more than others. The "Add to favorites" function allows you to keep a trace of them, enabling you to find them again with ease.

Add/remove a doc to/from your favorites

You can add to your "favorites" your own docs, as well as those of others. To do so, view the doc and click on the "add to favorites" icon.
No need to hold back, the number of favorites is unlimited :)



To remove a doc from favorites, click on the link again.

Where do I see my favorites?

The link to your favorites page is on the "Your docs" page.
This page is accessible to all visitors, but they only get to see "public" docs.

14. Choosing the order of my documents

On the your docs home page, your docs are arranged according to the date on which you imported them into ipernity, going from the most recent to the oldest.

You can however easily change the order. Simply change the import date of the files to re-order.

From the your Docs page

In the "More information" area (on the bottom right), click on "edit".



Then click on "Change the upload date".
The change happens immediately.

Using the DocManager

Use the DocManager if you want to add the same date to several docs at the same time .

1- Select your docs and move them into the working area
2- Click on "Edit these docs"



3- Click on the "Date of import" tab.

15. Are There Statistics On My Docs?

Yes, indeed there are! By going to the "Your docs" page and clicking on "Popular", you can see your documents ranked according to most appreciated, most commented or most visited.
Visit and vote statistics are also available on the page for each document under "More information".

You can also find out how many times an album was visited by viewing the album.
