How to Submit Photos for Joan Ann Van Meer
Until such time as a photo "Drag and Drop" function has been added to Cemsearch, here is the way to prepare your photos for inclusion in our database:
• IMPORTANT: FIRST select the person in Cemsearch for whom you want to add a photo, then re-open this help screen.
• You currently have selected Joan Ann Van Meer. You can submit photos for her plot's monument(s) or personal photos of just her.
• On your computer, locate the file(s) of the photo(s) you want to submit for Joan Ann Van Meer.
• DO NOT make duplicate photos of the same side of a stone for each person shown on it. For example, if husband and wife are both shown on one stone image, DO NOT make two copies of this image; only one is required.
• For MONUMENT Pictures, do the following:
• Copy this code: HAHN11Z1; (MUST include the semicolon)
• Rename the monument files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
• IMPORTANT: The code HAHN11Z1; is SPECIFIC to ALL people on this stone or plot.
• For PERSONAL Pictures for JUST this person, do the following:
• Copy this code: HAHN11Z1^0; (MUST include the semicolon)
• Rename the personal files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
• IMPORTANT: The code HAHN11Z1^0; is SPECIFIC to
Joan Ann Van Meer and your picture(s) prefixed with this code will appear ONLY for her.
• HINT: for convenience, these codes also appear below the Born/Died dates where you can click on them to automatically copy them.
• ATTACH photos (full size; if you can, limit to about 1-2 megabytes in size) with the prefixed filename to an email and send to:
helpus@cemsearch.ca.
• If you have further details that you would like included in the "Notes" section, add them to the email as well.
Captions:
• A caption can be embedded in the filename following the semi-colon, terminated with a tilde (~). See example below.
Monument Example:
• Suppose you have two photos of her with filenames img_2694.jpg
and Van Meer family.jpg
• The specific prefix code for this person's plot is HAHN11Z1;
• Your modified filenames will be HAHN11Z1;img_2694.jpg
and HAHN11Z1;Van Meer family.jpg
• The text following the semicolon can be anything you want (including spaces), for example:
•HAHN11Z1; north side of tombstone eroded by nature.
• Add a caption as follows (surrounding spaces optional; tilde (~) marks the end of the caption; otherwise we will use the complete filename):
HAHN11Z1; Your caption here~ img_2694.jpg and
HAHN11Z1; Another caption~ Van Meer family.jpg
• ALL images for Joan Ann Van Meer and others on the same stone or plot MUST have the same exact prefix up to and including the semi-colon.
Personal Pictures Example:
• Suppose you have two images for this person's monument with filenames 40thBirthday.jpg
and Joan Ann Headshot.jpg
• The specific prefix code for her is HAHN11Z1^0;
• Your modified filenames will be HAHN11Z1^0;40thBirthday.jpg
and HAHN11Z1^0;Joan Ann Headshot.jpg
• The text following the semicolon can be anything you want (including spaces)
• Add a caption as follows (surrounding spaces optional; tilde (~) marks the end of the caption; otherwise we will use the complete filename):
HAHN11Z1; Your caption here~ 40thBirthday.jpg and
HAHN11Z1; Another caption~ Joan Ann Headshot.jpg
• ALL personal photos of Joan Ann Van Meer MUST have the same exact prefix up to and including the semi-colon.
• These personal images will NOT appear for others on the same stone or plot.
