- improvement: long localized messages are in HTML files instead of $lang
array. This is the case of admin/help and about pages.
- deletion: of unused functions (ts_to_mysqldt, is_image, TN_exists,
check_date_format, date_convert, get_category_directories,
get_used_metadata_list, array_remove, pwg_write_debug,
get_group_restrictions, get_all_group_restrictions, is_group_allowed,
style_select, deprecated_getAttribute).
- new: many new contextual help pages to replace descriptions previously
included in pages.
- modification: reorganisation of language files. Deletion of unused
language keys, alphabetical sort. No faq.lang.php anymore (replaced by
help.html). Only done for en_UK.iso-8859-1.

Here follow the directory tree of a very small gallery (but + using many features) :</p> + + <pre> +. +|-- admin +|-- doc +|-- galleries +| |-- category-1 +| | |-- category-1.1 +| | | |-- category-1.1.1 +| | | | |-- category-1.1.1.1 +| | | | | |-- pwg_high +| | | | | | +-- wedding.jpg +| | | | | |-- thumbnail +| | | | | | +-- TN-wedding.jpg +| | | | | +-- wedding.jpg +| | | | +-- category-1.1.1.2 +| | | +-- category-1.1.2 +| | |-- category-1.2 +| | | |-- pookie.jpg +| | | +-- thumbnail +| | | +-- TN-pookie.jpg +| | +-- category-1.3 +| +-- category-2 +| |-- piglet.gif +| |-- pwg_representative +| | +-- video.jpg +| |-- thumbnail +| | +-- TN-piglet.jpg +| +-- video.avi +|-- include +|-- install +|-- language +|-- template ++-- tool</pre> + + </li> + + <li>Basically, a category is represented by a directory at any level in + PhpWebGallery directory "galleries". Each category can contain as many + sub-level as you wish. In the example above, category-1.1.1.1 is at level + 4 of deepness.</li> + + <li>Basically, an element is represented by a file. A file can be a + PhpWebGallery element if its extenstion is among <code>file_ext</code> + configuration parameter possibilities (see <span + class="filename">include/config_default.inc.php</span> file). A file can + be a picture if its extension is among <code>picture_ext</code> + configuration parameter possibilities.</li> + + <li>Picture elements must have an associated thumbnail (see section below + about thumbnails)</li> + + <li>Picture elements can have a high quality file associated. As for + wedding.jpgin the example above. No prefix on the high quality picture is + required.</li> + + <li>Non picture elements (video, sounds, file texts, what you want...) are + by default represented by an icon corresponding to the filename + extension. Optionaly, you can associate a thumbnail and a representative + file (see video.avi in the example above).</li> + + <li>Warning : the name of directories and files must be composed of + letters, figures, "-", "_" or ".". No blank space, no accentuated + characters</li> + + <li>Advise : a category can contain elements and sub-categories in the + same time. Nerverthless, you are strongly advised for each category to + choose between category containing elements OR category containing + sub-categories.</li> + + <li>Once files, thumbnails and representatives are correctly placed in the + directories, go to : <span class="pwgScreen">Administration, General, + Synchronize</span></li> + +</ul> + +<h3>Thumbnails</h3> + +<ul> + + <li>As said earlier, each element of picture type must be associated with + a thumbnail.</li> + + <li>Thumbnails are stored in the sub-directory "thumbnail" of the category + directory. The thumbnail is a picture (same filename extensions possible + than picture files) which filename is prefixed by the configured + "Thumbnail prefix" (see admin panel, Configuration, General).</li> + + <li>Thumbnails don't need to have the same extension as their associated + picture (a picture with .jpg extension can have a thumbnail in .GIF + extention for instance).</li> + + <li>Advise: use an external module for thumbnails creation.</li> + + <li>You can also use the thumbnail creation page (<span + class="pwgScreen">Administration, Pictures, Thumbnails</span>), but it is + not recommended. Indeed, thumbnail quality may be poor and it uses a high + CPU load which can be a problem if you use free web hosting.</li> + + <li>If you choose to use your hosting provider to create thumbnails, you + must give write rights on all category directories and sub-directories + "thumbnail" for ugo (user, group, other).</li> + +</ul> + +<h3>Access authorization</h3> + +<ul> + + <li>You can forbid access to categories. Categories can be "public" or + "private". Permissions (for groups and users) can be set only if the + category is private.</li> + + <li>You can set a category to private by editing a single category (<span + class="pwgScreen">Administration, Categories, Manage, edit</span>) or by + setting options to your whole category tree (<span + class="pwgScreen">Administration, Categories, Public/Private</span>).</li> + + <li> + + <p>Once the category is private, you can manage permissions for groups + and users through 3 screens :(administration panel, Permissions).</p> + + <ul> + + <li><span class="pwgScreen">Administration, Identification, Users, + permissions action (one link per user)</span></li> + + <li><span class="pwgScreen">Administration, Identification, Groups, + permissions action (one link per group)</span></li> + + <li><span class="pwgScreen">Administration, Categories, Manage, edit + category permissions action (one link per category)</span></li> + + </ul> + + </li> + +</ul> + +<h3>Users Groups</h3> + +<ul> + + <li>PhpWebGallery is able to manage groups of users. It can be very useful + to have common permission access for private categories.</li> + + <li>You can create groups in <span class="pwgScreen">Administration, + Identification, Groups</span> and associate users to this group in <span + class="pwgScreen">Administration, Identication, Users</span>.</li> + + <li>A user can belong to several groups. The authorization is stronger + than prohibition : if user "jack" belongs to groups "family" and + "friends", and that only group "family" can see category "Christmas 2003", + "jack" will be able to see "Christmas 2003".</li> + +</ul> + +<h3>Files upload by users</h3> + +<p>PhpWebGallery offers the possibility for users to upload images. in +order to do it:</p> + +<ol> + + <li>authorize upload on any categories (<span + class="pwgScreen">Administration, Categories, Manage, edit</span> or <span + class="pwgScreen">Administration panel, Categories, Upload</span>)</li> + + <li>give write rights on directories for ugo (user, group, other)</li> + +</ol> + +<p>Files uploaded by users are not directly visible on the website, they +must be validated by an administrator. For that purpose, an administrator +must go in <span class="pwgScreen">Administration, Pictures, Waiting</span> +in order to validate or to refuse the files proposed, then to synchronize +filesystem with database.</p> + + +<h3>Links between elements and categories, virtual categories</h3> + +<ul> + + <li>PhpWebGallery dissociates categories where elements are stored and + categories where they are shown.</li> + + <li>By default, elements are shown only in their real categories : the + ones corresponding to directories on the web server.</li> + + <li>To link an element to a category, you just have to make the + association on the page of element edition (link to this screen on + picture.php logged as an administrator) or on the informations of all + elements of a category.</li> + + <li>Using this principle, it is possible to create virtual categories : no + directory coresponds to this category. You can create virtual categories + in <span class="pwgScreen">Administration, Categories, Manage</span>.</li> + +</ul> + +<h3>Miscellanous informations</h3> + +<ul> + + <li>As soon as you created your gallery, modify default display properties + in <span class="pwgScreen">Administration panel, Configuration, + Default</span>. Indeed, every new registered user will have by default the + same display properties.</li> + + <li>If you have any question, do not hesitate to take a look at the forum + or ask a question there. The <a + href="http://forum.phpwebgallery.net">forum</a> (message board) is + available on the presentation site of PhpWebGallery. Check the <a + href="http://doc.phpwebgallery.net">official PhpWebGallery + documentation</a> for further reading.</li> + +</ul> + |
