+ <li>With a FTP client, copy your directory in the "galleries" directory of your Piwigo installation.</li>
+
+ <li>Logon your gallery and go to <span class="pwgScreen">Administration</span> and click on the big Synchronization button.</li>

+
+ <p>Album directories are in the Piwigo directory
+ "galleries". Here follows the directory tree of a very small gallery (but
+ using many features):</p>
+
+ <pre>
+galleries
+|-- wedding
+| |-- celebration
+| | |-- arrival
+| | | |-- paul-alone.jpg
+| | | +-- sarah-alone.jpg
+| | +-- departure
+| | +-- paul-and-sarah.jpg
+| +-- party
+| |-- dancers001.jpg
+| |-- dancers002.jpg
+| +-- dancers003.jpg
++-- honeymoon
+ |-- hotel.png
+ |-- video-from-plane.avi
+ +-- pwg_representative
+ +-- video-from-plane.jpg
+</pre>
+
+ </li>
+
+ <li>Except for "pwg_representative" (see explanations below), each directory under "galleries" produces a album. There is no limit on deepness.</li>
+
+ <li>Basically, an element is represented by a file. A file can be a
+ Piwigo element if its extension 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>No photo elements (video, sounds, file texts, whatever you want...) are represented by default by an icon corresponding to the filename
+ extension. Optionally, you can associate a thumbnail and a representative
+ file (see video.avi in the example above).</li>
+
+ <li><em>Warning</em>: the name of directories and files must contain only letters, figures, "-", "_" or ".". No blank space, nor accentuated characters.</li>
+
+ <li>Once photos are correctly placed in the
+ directories, go to: <span class="pwgScreen">Administration &raquo; Tools &raquo;
+ Synchronize</span></li>
+
+</ul>
