[13451] | 50 | <li>Except for "pwg_representative" (see explanations below), each directory under "galleries" produces a album. There is no limit on deepness.</li> |
---|
[5182] | 51 | |
---|
| 52 | <li>Basically, an element is represented by a file. A file can be a |
---|
[5369] | 53 | Piwigo element if its extension is among <code>file_ext</code> |
---|
[5182] | 54 | configuration parameter possibilities (see <span |
---|
| 55 | class="filename">include/config_default.inc.php</span> file). A file can |
---|
| 56 | be a picture if its extension is among <code>picture_ext</code> |
---|
| 57 | configuration parameter possibilities.</li> |
---|
| 58 | |
---|
[8703] | 59 | <li>No photo elements (video, sounds, file texts, whatever you want...) are represented by default by an icon corresponding to the filename |
---|
[5369] | 60 | extension. Optionally, you can associate a thumbnail and a representative |
---|
[5182] | 61 | file (see video.avi in the example above).</li> |

---|
[5369] | 63 | <li><em>Warning</em>: the name of directories and files must contain only letters, figures, "-", "_" or ".". No blank space, nor accentuated characters.</li> |

[5182] | 64 | |

[13451] | 65 | <li>Once photos are correctly placed in the |
