Continued from Page 6..

1. Directory Setup - This will be the directory where your main html pages will be created outside the cgi-bin. This directory must have 777 permissions. This directory will be updated every time you rebuild your tgp pages.

2. Url Setup - Full url to the cgi files in the cgi-bin.

3. Html Url - Directory outside the cgi-bin where your html pages will reside.

4. Email Setup- Full path to your send mail on your server.

5. Your Email Address-

6.File Names - This is your main page of posts, tgp.html or index.html or tgp.html. You can have multiple pages or just a single main page.

7. File extension - .html, .htm, or .shtml - You decide.

8.List breaks- This is where you put your advertising, traffic trades, and toplists. For example: 10,20,30. your html will be placed after the 10th, 20th and 30th posts on your main page.

9.Catagories - Which category is your tgp going to? List a single niche like tits or general multiple niches bbw, ebony, bdsm etc. Keep in mind that the script generates an archive page for each category you decide to have in your tgp list.

10. Date format- There are multiple variables that can be used for a given output to your list. There is no need to get into a long explanation. Basically %n-%j-%y gives an output : 11-5-01 , depending on the variables you select, you can get different outputs.

11. Date Format - Similar to the date format - different chosen variables will produce different outputs. For example %H:%i 13: 30

12.Time zone offset- If you are in one time zone and your server is in another.

13.Color for Normal Posts- The color you decide for a normal listing.

14.Color for Partner Posts- you can utilize a different color or Bold Text to make your submission partners stand out on your main gallery listing.  This will also carry over to the archive pages.

15. Size for normal posts- This is making reference to the font size. A suggestion: decide on the font size you like and use it throughout your "listings".

16. Size for partner Posts- Again, I would find a font size you like and stick with it. You can make your partner posts distinct by using a bold tag or a different color.

17. Archives- Do you want an Archive for your tgp or not? You decide.

Options- these are the script submission options you set during the setup. I feel they are pretty straight forward as to their purpose.

18. Display the "###" of the most recent posts, most recent posts by category, and most recent days worth of posts. Depending on your list size, or what you want your list to show ,you will get different outputs from the script. For starting up of a new tgp you don’t want to set this too high. You will want to show change to your list daily.  There are ways around getting galleries while you’re awaiting submissions for your tgp.

19. Sorting string for main page- This will sort your main page. Leave this setting on default until you get a feel for the script.

20. Sorting string for archive pages- see 19

21.Max posts per general submitter per day- In the beginning, set this to a higher number. You will want all the submissions you can get when you start.

22. Max posts per partner per day - You have already committed to them by giving them a partner code. You know their work, you decide.

23.Default moderator rating- see 19 :)

Minimum number of Pics- Minimum number of pics to get listed. For example: 5

Max description length- Personally, I feel if you can’t describe a gallery with a three to five word description or 25 characters, you don’t deserve to be listed.

Well that’s it for the admin setup. Click Save, and the script will run a self test to let you know if the data you entered is free from errors by writing to the data and html directories. Once all your tests are passed, congratulate yourself with a job well done...What are you thinking? Next week we will tour the administration/controls of your tgp script.

Hasta Pasta
