Set authorizations to 777 on directory - "galleries/test_category".</li> - - <li>Connect to your PhpWebGallery as an admin.</li> - - <li>Go to <span class="pwgScreen">Administration, Pictures, - Thumbnails</span>. PhpWebGallery find the picture from "test_category" - without thumbnails. Ask to create thumbnails.</li> - - <li>Go to <span class="pwgScreen">Administration, Categories, - Synchronize</span>. Check "directories + files" option, uncheck "only - 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 PhpWebGallery directory - "galleries". 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><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>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, 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>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://phpwebgallery.net/doc/">official PhpWebGallery - documentation</a> for further reading.</li> - -</ul> - |
