[Gallery Review Control] Page Discussion
Re: [Gallery Review Control] Page Discussion
Latest Version
By default the script will list the galleries in pending status, you might need to uncheck the 'Pending' check box to see all galleries, and also pay attention to which page you are on as comus will list a limited number of records per page.
How to Search:
Type a keyword into the 'Search for This' field and click Search.
There are 2 types of searches in Gallery Review.
Search and Query.
Search is a standard catch all type of search and anything you type in the Search For This' field will operate on all categories, urls, description, keywords, etc.
Query mode accepts a Mysql Query as input, for example, by selecting Query Mode and typing this into the search for this field, Gallery Review will return all galleries with the keyword 'big' within the url.
Code:
url LIKE '%big%'
Order By can be used to sort by different criteria, along with Order A to Z or Z to A you can use this to find things like the most popular galleries or anything you like really.
Records controls the total number of records displayed per page, and applies to all searches, the [<<][<] Page X of N [>][>>] buttons allow you to navigate pages. Pay careful attention to the page numbers because it is possible to try and list page 3 of 2, and appear off the map, so sometimes you need to hit [<<] to get back to page #1.
Total Records is a handy number that can tell you special information, like how many galleries are approved with thumbs and with the keyword 'big' in it. You can use this to track down problems like why a category might not have enough galleries being displayed when it appears to have enough gallereis within it.
Special Commands
There are a number of special commands which enable you to perform extended tasks and operations on your searches. For all special commands you need to hit [Execute] instead of [Search] which saves you from accidently running the commands when you dont want to.
Detailed Is the standard search and shows will just list galleries.
404 Check Will do a quick scan on the selected galleries for 404 errors.
404 Check All Scans all galleries in the database, ignoring search.
Auto Thumb Will scan the selected galleries and auto make a thumb.
Auto Thumb All Will ignore the search, but will only make thumbs for those galleries which dont already have thumbs.
Bulk Review Is a quick edit option that allows you to see all the galleries on the screen at once. This option was introduced to allow us to
quickly review as explicit/nonexplicit, approved/disapprove, Delete or keep galleries.
Delete Allows you to run a search which will delete the galleries found.
Export Will dump the galleries in a format that can be read by the bulk importer into other sites.
Reset Scanner The scanner will only apply itself to galleries that have not been scanned before. This allows you to scan only the new galleries by default. If you want to scan the whole lot, then reset the scanner.
Resize Will try to rescale all thumbs in the database which do not match the thumb size settings. You can go into the categories section and set the thumb sizes to new sizes, or into settings and reset the default thumb size, then run this command to rescale all galleries. Those that cant resize dont have the required resize information and will have to be manually resized by rethumbing, so check the thumb sizes after using this function. If you created the thumbs in Comus or have imported the thumbs from the Comus master database or from another Comus site then you should have resizable thumbs, otherwise, you most likely wont.
Rule Check Is different to a 404 check in that it applies all the rules of the auto scanner whereas the 404 check only checks for 404's.
Scan Urls This is different to the Rule Check as it applies the general rules that are used during a gallery submit, which can be different to the rules applied by the autoscanner.
Turbo Thumb This is a batch processing option for quick scanning galleries for thumbs. Check this post on How to use the Turbo Cropper
