&lt;p&gt;This page is used to add a new category to the database and system&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your current working directory&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This line shows the current working category that you are browsing. The new category will be created under (within) this category.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;System Name&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The System name is used as the physical server directory name. It must not contain any of the following invalid characters ~ ` ! @ # $ % ^ &amp;amp; * ( ) + = | } ] { [ &quot; &#039; : ; / ? &amp;gt; . &amp;lt; , and spaces. &lt;br /&gt;If the system detects any of the invalid characters listed above, it will return an error when the data is submitted.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Display Name&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Use this field to add a more meaningful name to the category. You can use spaces and other characters that are not permitted in the system name. By default the category system name is displayed in the gallery. If you enter a display name it will be displayed instead of the system name.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Use this field to describe the category. You can use HTML code in this field if required.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Template Name:&lt;/strong&gt; (Pro. &amp;amp; Ent. versions)&lt;br /&gt;With the Pro. and Ent. versions you can assign different gallery templates to different categories (ideal for advertising or branding). You can use this feature to create a different look and feel for each category (the functionality will be the same). If you do not select a template from the drop down menu when creating a new category, the system will use the &lt;strong&gt;default gallery template&lt;/strong&gt;. The default gallery template is the &lt;strong&gt;home_public.tpl&lt;/strong&gt;. All templates that are in the template/english/ folder will display in the drop down menu, but you should &lt;strong&gt;only&lt;/strong&gt; select the &lt;strong&gt;home_public.tpl&lt;/strong&gt; (default gallery template) or another template created using the same dynamic call tags as the &lt;strong&gt;home_public.tpl&lt;/strong&gt; template. You can create and upload via FTP as many templates as required to the &quot;&lt;strong&gt;template/english/&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; folder.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Icon&lt;/strong&gt; (Category Icon) &lt;br /&gt;When the system displays the categories in the gallery, it can display an icon that is assigned to the particular category. You can either upload a category icon to the &amp;ldquo;&lt;strong&gt;icon&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;rdquo; directory via FTP, or you can upload the icon to the category&amp;rsquo;s directory itself. If you upload the icon to the target category&amp;rsquo;s directory, then you must name it as &amp;ldquo;&lt;strong&gt;icon.jpg&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;rdquo;. The system will automatically load the &amp;ldquo;&lt;strong&gt;icon.jpg&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;rdquo; for the that particular category for selection when it detects one. You can also use thumbnail images in the particular category for icons, by selecting the &amp;ldquo;&lt;strong&gt;Use Random Image&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;rdquo; option in the Icon drop down list. When you are using the &amp;ldquo;&lt;strong&gt;Use Random Image&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;rdquo; option, the system will randomly use media thumbnail images from the target category and its sub categories for the category icon. The system will only display the category&#039;s display name if the &amp;ldquo;&lt;strong&gt;Do Not Use Icon&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;rdquo; option is selected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Use this setting for existing sub-categories&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tick this checkbox if you want to use the same Icon Configuration for the target category&#039;s sub-categories.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visible to Photographers&lt;/strong&gt; (Ent. version)&lt;br /&gt;If you do not want the category to be visible in the Photographer&#039;s (Contributor&#039;s) Media Manager, then you should un-check this box.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click the &lt;strong&gt;Submit&lt;/strong&gt; button to add the new category.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Before adding&lt;/strong&gt; a new category name on the server, the system will check that the &lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;safe mode&lt;/span&gt; is turned off on the server. Please check with your hosting service provider that it is set correctly. If this configuration is not possible, you will have to create a new category using an FTP client by creating a new folder (category) on the server and changing its &lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;permissions&lt;/span&gt; to 777(read/write/execute) before uploading any new media to it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
