Introduction¶

Users manual¶

Configuration¶

The extension can be installed via the extension manager. Just be sure, that your folder permissions are set correctly.

Administration¶

All fields of the extension can be controlled via the ACL for backend user groups.

If you want to change the quality of thumbnails, you must modify the ext_typoscript_setup.txt on line file.params = -quality 100. To see all existing parameters go on tsref documentation.

You have a backend modul which allow to import photographics by zip files.First thing is to configure it. Go on Ext Manager->Photographic Library , at the end of table, there is the constant “PATH_FOLDER_ZIP”. You must write the path of fileadmin in which the modul go to look for zip files to import. There is the constant “PATH_PHOTO_SAVE” too. You must write the path of fileamin in which the modul go to save photo. This path must be different of the first one ( PATH_FOLDER_ZIP).

After to use the modul, follow that :

First click on modul title “Photo”, choose a sysfolder where photographics will be created, choose zip file (in list there are all zip files found on folder write on constant “PATH_FOLDER_ZIP”), add information for default value if you want. If you want to save photo on filelist (directory on constant “PATH_PHOTO_SAVE”) for future using set the box, if you want to delete zip after import set the next box and finally set the box for import and execute the import.

To check your import look at your sysfolerwith the menu list.

Known problems¶

Two at the moment :

• with code ALBUM, if you use an id (with the field “Topic id (for LIST) or Album id (for ALBUM)”) this album must be on the starting point (if one is selected) or on the current page (if no starting point is selected)
• if the backend modul don't work because it doesn't unzip, you must configure unzip_path on install menu->All configuration. On windows, unzip.exe could be not on install, you can download a good version here : http://www.mame.net/zips/compile/unzip.exe
• The popup link (<a href=”#”...) doesn't work with extension RealURL. You must change line 602 and 650 of PHP class :

"#" become : "index.php?id='.$GLOBALS["TSFE"]->id.'”

Just email me, if you find some.
