-<h2>Help</h2>
-
-<h3>Quick start</h3>
-
-<ol>
-
- <li>Create a local directory "test_category".</li>
-
- <li>Copy pictures in "test_category".</li>
-
- <li>Open an FTP connection to this remote gallery.</li>
-
- <li>Upload local directory "test_category" into your remote directory
- names "galleries". Set authorizations to 777 on directory
- "galleries/test_category".</li>
-

- perform a simulation" and submit the synchronization.</li>
-
- <li>Job's done. You've created a category "test_category" at the root of
-your gallery.</li>
-
-</ol>
-
-<h3>Adding elements</h3>
-
-<ul>
-
- <li>
-
- <p>Category directories are in the Piwigo directory
- "galleries". Here follow the directory tree of a very small gallery (but
- using many features) :</p>
-
- <pre>
-.

-
- <li>Basically, a category is represented by a directory at any level in
- Piwigo 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
- Piwigo 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><em>Warning</em> : the name of directories and files must be composed
-of letters, figures, "-", "_" or ".". No blank space, no accentuated
-characters</li>
-
- <li><em>Advise</em> : 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 <strong>or</strong> category
-containing sub-categories.</li>
-
- <li>Once files, thumbnails and representatives are correctly placed in the
- directories, go to : <span class="pwgScreen">Administration, Categories,
- 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, Properties, Public / Private</span>).</li>
-
- <li>
-
- <p>Once the category is private, you can manage permissions for groups
- and users through 3 screens :</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>Piwigo 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>Piwigo 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, Properties, 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>Piwigo 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 Piwigo. Check the <a
- href="http://phpwebgallery.net/doc/">official Piwigo
- documentation</a> for further reading.</li>
