1. Click on the Import/Export button.

2. Below, find and click on the Category that you would like to export (make sure it is highlighted in purple).

3. Click the EXPORT button in the lower right corner.

4. Choose where you would like the file saved on your computer and enter the desired file name.

5. Click Save.

OK i am very confused now How do I download a catagory for everybody to share? I thought that I should do the  export thing but after reading this it doesnt sound right. PLEASE HELP ME!! and How big can the files be to be avail for Little reader?

[Lappy]

Hi Princessclem!

If you want to share your categories and playlists with other Little Reader users here in our forum, you have to do 2 things:

1.  Export your category or playlist from your Little Reader. (You may do this by following the steps above)
2.  Upload your file to the BrillKids Forums. (To learn how to do this, click here.)

Hope that helps!

Hi,
I have just tried to upload my first file to share with other little reader users. I followed the instructions, but when I look at my files (which has the one file waiting for approval), it says that it is 0kbs. Could you please let me know what I might be doing wrong?
Thank-you

[nhockaday]

That means that for some reason your file didn't attach. It may be too large or you could have had some problem with your connection. Can go to your import/export folder under documents>brillkids>little reader>import/export and let us know the size of the file you tried to upload?

[NBailey]

Thank-you for the quick response. I think the file was too big. What is the size limit?

[nhockaday]

I'm not sure exactly, but you can reduce the size of your pictures with picture editor and see if that helps. Instructions an be found here http://forum.brillkids.com/little-reader/tip-7-for-using-little-reader-how-to-resize-pictures/

Hi NBailey!

The file limit is 10MB, but it's always best not to skim too near the limit.  Sometimes - when files are just too big, or bigger than 5MB, and if the internet connection fluctuates, the upload is damaged, and it doesn't register.  To ensure that your download goes without a hitch, please take care to minimize the file size as much as you can, and make sure you have a steady internet connection.

[NBailey]

Thank-you Lappy

My file was originally about 8mb so I reduced it to around 6mb by eliminating some of my POI recordings that went with the pictures. However, I was still unsuccessful in uploading the file.
I ended up just eliminating all of the POI recordings and posting the details on the encyclopedic knowledge forum so that people can record themselves. I hope that was ok. I am not sure if there is a better way.

Thank-you again for all of your help. I have never participated in a forum before, but with a new baby I have become quite passionate about helping him to achieve his full potential. I am so glad I have decided to join in and share experiences with others (even when they may be on the other side of the world!).

[nhockaday]

Did you try to reduce the pictures like I recommended? That should have helped a lot since you had so many pictures. If you want to try it and do a test-upload, just let us know.

[NBailey]

Yes, thanks nhockaday. I did have a look at that post and it was very helpful to find out this information.
However, the picture sizes did not seem to be too big. My overall file went from around 8,100 kbs to about 850 kbs just by eliminating the recordings. The overall file size is now quite small even though I have used several pictures for each animal.
Thanks again.

could you try attaching the .cat file here to your post here.  If it's too big, use the upload link I will PM to you separately.

[NBailey]

KL, My original file is about 8,100 kbs so I am assuming that it is too large to post here. I tried the link that you sent to me, but when I press the upload file button nothing happens.

Nhockaday, how did you get your avatar to switch between images? It is really cute. I managed to upload a picture of my son for my avatar, but not sure how to have multiple images.

[KL]

Can you tell me what browser you're using? If you're not sure please see what it says on this box:

Also, did you adjust any of your security settings like set it to really high?  It might be causing problems with websites like ours.
