FOTOWEB 6.0 Reference Manual - FotoWare

Identification
An archive in FotoWeb is identified by its name and must be unique for each archive. It is also a good
idea to give the archives intuitive names that can give the users an idea of expectations.
For the sake of presentation, the archives can be assigned a parent archive to create an intuitive or
representative hierarchy in the TopMenu control in the templates. Archives with ‘No Parent’ appear on
the root level in the archives’ menu, while others appear under their selected parent archives.
The archives can be marked hidden. By setting this option, one can control if these archives are to be
shown in the web interface or not. The hidden archives can, however, be accessed directly by modifying
the URL with the correct archive id. Whether the contents of the archive are shown or not depends on
the users’ access to the specified archive.
General
To allow option to text files directly from the grid, check ‘Allow Quick Text’. This option also requires
implementation of ‘QuickTextControl’ tag in the templates and edits text permissions on the archive.
Each archive must be assigned a unique text editor. These editors are designed in FotoStation and
imported into FotoWeb using the ‘Text Editors’ node in FAC. The drop down lists all editors imported
to the site. It is required to have at least one editor on the site. If an editor selected for the archive is later
removed from the site, then the first available editor on the site is used when text is edited on the files
from this archive.
The preview size list drop down lists all preview size lists defined on the site. Selection of a preview size
list along with ‘Preview’ and ‘PreviewSizeListControl’ tags in the templates allows users to view a preview
in different sizes.
The Crop Profile Set dropdown menu lets you choose a common crop profile for the archive. The chosen
crop profile set is sent to FotoWeb Desktop when a user wants to crop images from this archive.
Archive
An archive can either be an image folder on the disk or an Index Manager index folder.
Each archive can be assigned a specific watermark. This watermark is applied only to the previews. The
watermark settings for the archive override the watermark settings for the user and the site.
An auto search filter can also be applied to the archive. The archive is filtered with this search before the
results are returned to the user. Any searched performed by the user are performed within this search
filter.
You can create multiple archives from one single index folder by simply setting different auto search
filters for each archive.
