Instead of endlessly explaining how the admin works, or having to create log in's for peek a boos here are some screen shots of the updating process that is needed for maintaining the celebrity site.
Admin 1 - This is main admin control. The different color shows 'updated' celebrity galleries. White shows those archived that have not been updated in past 24 hours.
Admin 2 - My Cute FTP Screen. You drag pictures from your hard drive into the 'temp' folder on the server. You would do this one by one for each celebrity. You can drag in multiple pictures if you like. This is simply showing one for example simplicity sake.
Admin 3 - Once you have completed upload into 'temp' folder. You find and click on the existing celebrity name in menu of main screen. You will scroll to the bottom, and you can see what is in the 'temp' folder on that screen. This is helpful to make sure you are not updating the wrong celebrities. If all correct, you click 'save' and the script does the rest. Rinse wash repeat.
Admin 4 - If you are adding in a new celebrity who does not yet exist in the DB, you follow the same steps of uploading into the 'temp' folder. Instead of clicking the [ed] button you click on 'Galleries'. That brings you to this page.
You will enter in the celebrity name, and any relevant information you like. The celebrity name has to be filled out obviously. You also
must pick one picture to be the 'head shot' or main picture for the gallery. Make sure 'Celebrities' is
highlighted and click 'save'. The script does the rest.
Admin 5 - This is what the end result will look like. Celebrities who have been updated in the past 24 hours will be click-able to non-members for 24 hours. They will then be auto archived by the script. Any non-member clicking a non-highlighted picture would be sent to the JOIN PAGE.
The reason for this is to drive traffic to your new site. For the cheapskates, they must come back daily for your offering if they do not want to pay. However, showing them your massive archive will entice them into subscribing as they click images they can't get to and keep being sent to the JOIN PAGE.
You can have anyone do your design if you like. However, the design is one piece. It must also be cut and coded into HTML/CSS and integrated into the CMS. For this, I have repeatedly used Prez ICQ 3117950 (Design/CSS/HTML).
As for the
OpenX, that program is free. Google has an ad platform. You can also use other PPC platforms if you like as well. I have James K, ICQ 168048147, deal with that installation and set up for me. Both of them are very reasonably priced.
