Publishing information

New writing for center column and wishlist is done via the administrative interface. Each editor will have their own account. New categories and weblogs can be created ad hoc.

New events are added to the emptyvesselproject account at http://www.upcoming.org The login and password are the same as the Flickr account.

Template changes still need manual HTML editing, which can still be done through the publishing interface, or directly on the server via ssh or FTP.

New Photo Archive Plugin

Example: http://log.emptyvesselproject.org/view/Main/ImageArchive

The system works with a pair of pages. The first is the public side, or gallery page, which displays the gallery of images. The second is where the images and descriptions are stored. For the above page, the images, descriptions and such are stored in 'ImageArchivePhotoarchive'

(http://log.emptyvesselproject.org/view/Main/ImageArchivePhotoarchive)

In naming these pages, 'Photoarchive' is a constant that the data page must have in its name. The gallery can be added to any page on the Twiki.

Here's how it works:

1. Create a gallery page (named whatever you like as long as it's wiki-readable) and a data page (named '[GalleryPageYouJust Created]Photoarchive')

2. Attach images to the data page (the 'Photoarchive'-named page).

3. Add descriptions to the text of the data page (the 'Photoarchive'-named page). Descriptions must be added as per the example below or the photos won't display on the gallery page.

<PA_IMAGE>
image_001.jpg
</PA_IMAGE>
<PA_HEADER>
My first image in Photoarchive
</PA_HEADER>
<PA_DESCRIPTION>
This is my first image which is shown by PhotoarchivePlugin^?.
It has no special purpose but you can see how it works.
</PA_DESCRIPTION>

4. In the text of the gallery page, add %PHOTOARCHIVEPLUGIN% anywhere we want the gallery to appear, or %PHOTOARCHIVEPLUGINRANDOM% to get a single random image.
