[WHAT IS GALLERY DAEMON]
Gallery Daemon is a PHP script that we have developed to assist adult webmasters to generate galleries in a much
more efficient way then any other scripts that are currently on the market. It solves many problems that we had as
adult webmasters ourselves.

What problems does Gallery Daemon address?:

Eliminates traffic leaks on FHGs by creating local galleries from them. (Including magic referral links... :P).
Mass generate galleries from FHGs.. until now we had to make them 1 at a time.
Poor SEO on FHGs... Gallery Daemon allows you to make search engine friendly galleries.
Multiple advertising opportunities per gallery. (ie. surfers that liked this paysite also liked xyz paysite)
Toplists on the galleries. Increases traffic trading ability.
Babelog type galleries on a tgp.
Trade gallery traffic just like a babelog.
TGPs have no syndication for the most part. Gallery daemon has flexible RSS feeds for syndicating the galleries to other sites.
Most other gallery generation scripts don't work wth movie FHGs. Gallery Daemon does

GALLERY DAEMON MANUAL

[INSTALLATION]
Gallery Daemon has a 7 step install wizard. Here are the steps to install it. If you have any problems during the install... contact support for assistance.

Download the beta install zip here if you have purchased a license.

PREINSTALL STEP 1: Upload the files to a subdirectory on your domain... make sure you upload all .php files in binary mode or you will get an error when you run them.
PREINSTALL STEP 3: Set CHMOD 777 on the following directories:

uploads/
install/
temp/
includes/

PREINSTALL STEP 3: Assuming you uploaded the files to yourdomain.com/gd/ then you need to point your browser to http://yourdomain.com/gd/install/

STEP 1: The first thing the installer does is check if you server has the requirements for the script... if you get an error then you will have to address that issue before installing Galllery Daemon.
STEP 2: The second step of the install process is to use your activation key to generate a valid license for your domain. Select the Activation Key and go to the Gallery Daemon License Generator to activate your domain and get your license key. If you have problems getting the activation to work... contact support.
STEP 3: The third step is where you add your database information. Fill out the form with the correct information and click "Setup Database".
STEP 4: Confirms your database information is correct and test the connection to the database server.
STEP 5: Step 5 creates the database tables needed by the script and inserts some default settings.
STEP 6: In step 6 you need to create your admin login.
STEP 7: Yeah! You have successfully install Gallery Daemon... delete the install directory and login to your script admin
Next... Go to settings in the script admin and set your gallery path... make sure you create it and chmod the directory 777

[GETTING STARTED]
Here are the steps to create galleries with Gallery Daemon.

[CRON JOBS]
In this example I am using lynx to run the php pages every 2 minutes (for the first 3) and every day at midnite for the last one.

Code:

*/2 * * * * /usr/bin/nice /usr/local/bin/lynx --dump http://www.yourdomain.com/gd/prescan.php >/dev/null
*/2 * * * * /usr/bin/nice /usr/local/bin/lynx --dump http://www.yourdomain.com/gd/autothumb.php > /dev/null
*/2 * * * * /usr/bin/nice /usr/local/bin/lynx --dump http://www.yourdomain.com/gd/generate.php > /dev/null
0 12 * * * /usr/bin/nice /usr/local/bin/lynx --dump http://www.yourdomain.com/gd/subscribed_feeds_cron.php >/dev/null

STEP 1: Check the settings to make sure they match what you want.
STEP 2: Add a sponsor
STEP 3: Add a paysite
STEP 4: If you are going to use a simple template (single thumb size on the galleries) then add a group to match that size
STEP 5: Add your template to the script. (If you have set content on html in settings then you need to add an HTMLCONTENT_SPONSORFOLDER template)
STEP 6: Import some galleries in a delimted format (gallery_url|description) NOTE: A description is required for all galleries.
STEP 7: If you have set up crons (see above) you can wait for awhile for the script to generate the galleries or you can go to next step

[OPERATIONS]
STEP 8-9: Click Prescan... wait for it to stop processing...
STEP 10: Click on Autothumb... wait for it to finish
STEP 11: Click Generate and wait for it to ouput a gallery url... click on the url... inspect your gallery.

[TEMPLATES]
There are 4 different templates in Gallery Daemon. 2 types of gallery templates and 2 utility templates. They are:

[Gallery Templates]
Simple Templates
Template Defined Thumb Templates

[Utility Templates]
HTML Content Templates
Embed Template

Here are what they are and examples of each:

SIMPLE TEMPLATE:

The simple gallery template is designed for those that are planning to use a single thumb size for the gallery. Each thumb is easily placed in the template with template variables that look like {thumb:<id>} where <id> is the number of the thumb order in the template starting with 0 (zero).

They as follows:

[EXAMPLE]

{thumb:0} {thumb:1} {thumb:2}

[TEMPLATE DEFINED THUMB TEMPLATE]

NOTE: This template type is only for galleries that will have multiple thumb sizes... if you want only a single thumb size... use a simple template as explained above.
The template defined thumbs template is designed for those that are planning to use a multiple thumb sizes for the gallery. Each thumb is easily placed in the template with template variables that look like {thumb:<id>:<WxH>} where <id> is the number of the thumb order in the template starting with 0 (zero) and <WxH> represents the thumb size for that thumb. Here are some examples:

[EXAMPLE]

{thumb:0:140x180} {thumb:1:200x300} {thumb:2:140x180}

[HTML CONTENT TEMPLATE]
The html content template is for serving the big photos or emedded movie clips on html pages. All you have to do is add a template using the variables for this template type and check the box that says "content template". Then when you add or edit a paysite you can select the content template from the dropdown for that paysite.

[TEMPLATE SPECIFIC TEMPLATE VARIABLES]

{image} - PHOTO GALLERY: will be replaced with the large photo content linked to the paysite tour. MOVIE GALLERY: Will be replaced with the html in the embed template containing the embedded clip.
{previous} - will be replaced with a link to the previous image in the gallery
{gallery} - will be replaced with a link back to the main gallery page with all of the thumbs

[MORE HELP]
I know alot of you will hate this... but Gallery Daemon will only use galleries with descriptions. That is never going to change... don't even ask. Sorry.

Here is a very simple way to address this issue.

STEP 1: Download this program http://csved.sjfrancke.nl/index.html and install it
STEP 2: Open your text file with galleries (one per line) in the program
STEP 3: Select | Pipe delimiter (some sponsors have commas in the url... it's a bad idea to get in the habit of using commas)
STEP 4: Look all the way to the right on that same tab bar where it says "Add - Insert Column"
STEP 5: Only add some text into the "Value for Column" field... not the caption field.
STEP 6: Click the "Add Column" button
STEP 7: Save the file
STEP 8: Open the file in your text editor and copy and paste into the Gallery Daemon delimited import textarea... >>>>>>>

[ADDING A SPONSOR]
STEP 1: Go to GALLERY ADMIN > sponsors > ADD SPONSOR
STEP 2: Fill out Sponsor Name
STEP 3: Add a name for the folder that the galleries for this sponsor will be created in. It Must be a single word... no spaces or wierd characters. dash and underscore are fine.
STEP 4: Put your webmaster referral link here... later we will be adding a feature to export your sponsors with webmaster referral links.
STEP 5: If you want to put a note about this sponsor you can add it to the comments field.
STEP 6: Click 'Save Sponsor'

[ADDING A PAYSITE]
STEP 1: Go to GALLERY ADMIN > paysites > ADD PAYSITE
STEP 2: Select the sponsor from the dropdown
STEP 3: Add the name of the paysite
STEP 4: Add the tour link you want to use
STEP 5: In the paysite specific ad boxes you can put html, php, javascript or template variables from ads you have defined ({ad:1} for example (NOTE* you may ad multiple ad template variables).
STEP 6: Click Save Paysite

[RSS IMPORT]
Gallery Daemon can automatically import/generate galleries from sponsors RSS feeds. Here is how you set that up.

STEP 1: Make sure you have the sponsor added
STEP 2: Make sure you have the paysite added
STEP 3: Go to IMPORT > import rss feed and paste in the feed url. Check the Subscribe checkbox.
STEP 4: Import the galleries from the feed.

If you added the subscribed_feed_cron.php cron then you are good to go

[AD SECTION]
The ads section is a way for you to specify an unlimited amount of html, php, javascript or text that you want to be included in any particular gallery or set of galleries. For example, if you want to add a banner to a gallery you could click ADD AD and paste the banner code into the html box... give it a name so you can easily see what it is and save the ad. Once you have saved an ad it will show the template variable to show the ad on a gallery in the list.
