66<h3>Representant</h3>
67
68<p>The category representative is the thumbnail displayed on the main page (<span class="pwgScreen">category.php</span>) to represent
69the category when
70it contains only sub-categories and no direct element (just as the root category).</p>
71
72<p>There are 4 different ways to set the representative picture of a category :</p>
73
74<ul>
75
76  <li><span class="pwgScreen">Picture page</span>: one of the action buttons let you set the current picture as the representative for the
77  displayed category. This button is available only for administrators.</li>
78
79  <li><span class="pwgScreen">Modify informations about a picture</span> in
80  administration. This screen can be reached from <span
81  class="pwgScreen">picture.php</span> or <span class="pwgScreen">Batch
82  management</span> in <em>unit mode</em>. See the help of this screen for
83  details.</li>
84
85  <li><span class="pwgScreen">Administration, Categories, Properties,
86  Representative</span>. See the help of this screen for details.</li>
87
88  <li><span class="pwgScreen">Edit a category</span> (the present screen).</li>
89
90</ul>
91
92<p>The choice of a representative depends on the
93<code>allow_random_representative</code> configuration parameter (see <span
94class="filename">include/config_default.inc.php</span>).</p>
95
96<p>In default mode (<code>allow_random_representative</code> set to false),
97each category containing at least one element is represented by a fixed
98element. Once set (at category creation), the representative changes only
99when an administrator ask for it. If the representative is not appropriate,
100you can ask to <strong>Find a new representant by random</strong>.</p>
101
102<p>If the <code>allow_random_representative</code> configuration parameter is
103set to true, a category containing elements may have no fixed
104representant. Just use <strong>Delete representant</strong> button.</p>
105
106<p>If the category contains only sub-categories and no element, it can nonetheless be represented by any element thanks to <span class="pwgScreen">Modify
107informations about a picture</span> screen. The only option on the current screen
108is the <strong>Delete representant</strong> button.</p>
109
110<h3>Link all album elements to a new album</h3>
111
112<ul>
113
114<li><strong>Virtual album name</strong>: Name of the new category to be created,
115all pictures of the current category will be linked to the new one.</li>
116
117<li><strong>Parent album</strong>: Where the new category will be,
118leave empty to create it at root.</li>
119
120</ul>
121
122<h3>Link all category elements to existing categories</h3>
123
124<ul>
125
126<li><strong>Categories</strong>: Choose the destination category.</li>
127
128</ul>
129
130<h3>Send an information email to group members</h3>
