45class="pwgScreen">Comments</span>, <span class="pwgScreen">Lock</span>,
46<span class="pwgScreen">Public/Private</span>, <span
47class="pwgScreen">Representative</span> in <span
48class="pwgScreen">Administration, Categories, Properties</span>).</p>
49
50<h3>Representation</h3>
51
52<p>The representant of the category is the thumbnail displayed to represent
53the category on main page (<span class="pwgScreen">category.php</span>) when
54a category contains only sub-categories (just as the root category).</p>
55
56<p>There are 4 ways to set the representative picture of a category :</p>
57
58<ul>
59
60  <li><span class="pwgScreen">picture.php</span>: in the action buttons bar,
61  one of them let you set the displayed picture as representative for the
62  displayed category. This button is available only for administrators.</li>
63
64  <li><span class="pwgScreen">Modify informations about a picture</span> in
65  administration. This screen can be reach from <span
66  class="pwgScreen">picture.php</span> or <span class="pwgScreen">Batch
67  management</span> in <em>unit mode</em>. See the help of this screen for
68  details.</li>
69
70  <li><span class="pwgScreen">Administration, Categories, Properties,
71  Representative</span>. See the help of this screen for details.</li>
72
73  <li><span class="pwgScreen">Edit a category</span> (this screen).</li>
74
75</ul>
76
77<p>The representation depends on configuration parameter
78<code>allow_random_representative</code> (see <span
79class="filename">include/config_default.inc.php</span>).</p>
80
81<p>In default mode (<code>allow_random_representative</code> set to false)
82each category containing at least one element is represented by a fixed
83element. Once set (at category creation), the representative changes only
84when an administrator ask for it. If the representant is not appropriate,
85you can ask to <strong>Find a new representant by random</strong>.</p>
86
87<p>If configuration parameter <code>allow_random_representative</code> is
88set to true, a category containing elements can have no fixed
89representant. Just use <strong>Delete representant</strong> button.</p>
90
91<p>If the category contains no element (but only sub-categories) it can be
92represented by any element thanks to screen <span class="pwgScreen">Modify
93informations about a picture</span>. The only option on the current screen
94is to <strong>Delete representant</strong> button, after using this button,
95no representant option to set anymore.</p>
