of physical category).</li>
<li><strong>description</strong>: give a general idea of the content,

</ul>
<h3>Move</h3>
<p>If the category is virtual, you can move it. Moving a category means

</ul>
<p>You can also manage these options with "Properties"
management screen (screens <span class="pwgScreen">Upload</span>, <span
class="pwgScreen">Comments</span>, <span class="pwgScreen">Lock</span>,
<span class="pwgScreen">Public/Private</span>, <span

</ul>
<p><strong>(*)</strong>Take care and test it for your self since it can give unpredictable results.</p>
<h3>Representant</h3>
<p>The representant of the category is the thumbnail displayed to represent
the category on main page (<span class="pwgScreen">category.php</span>) when
a category contains only sub-categories (just as the root category).</p>
<p>There are 4 ways to set the representative picture of a category :</p>
<ul>
<li><span class="pwgScreen">Picture page</span>: in the action buttons bar,
one of them let you set the displayed picture as representative for the
displayed category. This button is available only for administrators.</li>
<li><span class="pwgScreen">Modify informations about a picture</span> in
administration. This screen can be reach from <span
class="pwgScreen">picture.php</span> or <span class="pwgScreen">Batch
management</span> in <em>unit mode</em>. See the help of this screen for
details.</li>
<li><span class="pwgScreen">Administration, Categories, Properties,
Representative</span>. See the help of this screen for details.</li>
<li><span class="pwgScreen">Edit a category</span> (this screen).</li>
</ul>
<p>The representation depends on configuration parameter
<code>allow_random_representative</code> (see <span
class="filename">include/config_default.inc.php</span>).</p>
<p>In default mode (<code>allow_random_representative</code> set to false)
each category containing at least one element is represented by a fixed
element. Once set (at category creation), the representative changes only
when an administrator ask for it. If the representant is not appropriate,
you can ask to <strong>Find a new representant by random</strong>.</p>
<p>If configuration parameter <code>allow_random_representative</code> is
set to true, a category containing elements can have no fixed
representant. Just use <strong>Delete representant</strong> button.</p>
<p>If the category contains no element (but only sub-categories) it can be
represented by any element thanks to screen <span class="pwgScreen">Modify
informations about a picture</span>. The only option on the current screen
is to <strong>Delete representant</strong> button, after using this button,
no representant option to set anymore.</p>
<h3>Link all category elements to a new category</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Virtual category name</strong>: New category name to be created,
all pictures of the current category will be linked to the new one.</li>
<li><strong>Parent category</strong>: Where the new category will be,
leave empty to create it from home.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Link all category elements to some existing categories</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Categories</strong>: Choose the destination category.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Send an information email to group members</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Group</strong>: addressees group</li>
<li><strong>Mail content</strong>: Free text to be sent to them.</li>
</ul>
