Create Photo Gallery Configuration Record

We are creating a single Photo Gallery Configuration element record to be used within the application.

Go to the Add Configuration page and submit the form to create one record. Most of the fields will come in defaulted to some text. Verify the text values to make sure the paths are correct.

See the Site Configuration wiki page for more details on the fields.

The ADF needs to be reset for the server and site for these CCAPI updates to take effect. Enter the following URL parameter string to any page call within the site:

 ?resetServerADF=1&resetSiteADF=1

Note: Resetting the ADF server might affect all sites implementing the ADF. If an error occurs, this could cause sites to go down. Needless to say, updates to the ADF Bean Configs and config files should be done in a controlled development environment (not on production servers!).
