Chameleon Blog

Defines the relationship between the Chameleon TGP/MGP Submitter categories and the site categories (their values) by simply matching them using Drag & Drop from the downloaded submit form. The possibility to add custom categories!

Site Details - Categories

Access Site Details (Categories) from the context menu in Database ( Database > Show).

The Site Categories table (right) displays the TEMPORARILY downloaded Names of categories and their Values downloaded from the form of the site.
If this table is empty and you want to download the values temporarily, click on the Get Categories button. In the loaded form, highlight categories (or one of them) and click the Categories button. The window will automatically close and you can continue to add/edit categories.

The CS Categories table (left) displays all Chameleon TGP/MGP Submitter categories in the Category column. You should assign the corresponding category Values of the site.
You can do so by dragging and dropping of the Values from the Site Categories table to the appropriate rows in the Pic Value and/or Mov Value columns.

The Pic Value column displays the values of picture categories and the Mov Value column displays the values of movie categories.

Assigning the values will make these categories automatically enabled (checked in the Enabled column).

If the list of categories used by Chameleon TGP/MGP Submitter does not contain a specific category to which you would like to submit, simply add it. All you need to do is click on an empty row in the Category column and enter its name. Continue by assigning the Values (see above).

If the site has no names (values) for its categories, just check the boxes in the Enabled columns for accepted categories.
If the site accepts all categories, click on the Enable All button (separately for Pic/Mov Categories). To uncheck all use the Disable All button (also separately for Pic/Mov Categories).

Copy Enabled: If you want to enable the same categories in the other column click on the Pic -> Mov button.

Copy Value To: If you want to copy the same value into the other rows of enabled categories in the column, highlight the value and click All Enabled.
If you wish to copy the same value to all rows of Gay categories in the column, highlight the value and click on Gay Categories.
These instructions can be used especially when the site only has a single category value for all accepted categories (i.e. only “Movies” or “Gay” category).

If the site bans certain niches, check the respective category or niche in the Banned column. The site will then not be generated even if you select other categories in Step 1 which are otherwise accepted by the site.
For example, if BDSM galleries are not accepted but Fetish galleries are (i.e. the BDSM category is checked in the Banned column and the Fetish category is checked in the Enabled column) and you select both these categories in Step 1, the site will not be generated even though the Fetish category is enabled for it.

Tips & Tricks:

• The sites in the database do not need to be edited manually, we will do it for you! Just run Database Update (Database > Update) and the sites will be updated automatically.
• If you change any settings in any tab of Site Details (except for Partner Account, Preferred User Settings in General tab and custom categories in the Categories tab), we recommend to Lock the site against automatic Database Update (Database > Update). Otherwise you run the risk that these settings will be overridden during the next update.em>
• You do not need to lock a site you added against Database Update because it will not be automatically deleted during update.
  NOTE! If the same site is added to the central database between updates, your own settings may be overridden during the next update.
• When adding your own site you need to enter the necessary information in all Site Details tabs, otherwise generation in Step 3, and Auto/Manual Submit will not be correct!
• If you cannot carry (drag and drop) the Values into the CS Categories table, verify whether you have set the correct Site Type in the General tab. For TGP the Mov Value column is inactive (because TGPs only accept pics) and conversely, for MGP the Pic Value column is not used. (because MGPs only accept movies or mixed content).
• If the TGP+ does not have separate movie categories enter the same values in both columns. You can simplify this by assigning the values only in one column, then highlighting all rows in the column (by selecting the first and last rows in the column – not the column title – while holding the SHIFT key) and copying them by CTRL+C. Click on the first row in the other column and paste the copied values using CTRL+V.
• If the categories cannot be assigned (non-standard or too large selection of categories) set the site to Manual Submission in the General tab. Do not forget to check accepted categories, or the site will not be generated when submitting to those categories in Step 3!
• In case the site accepts ONLY ONE of these niches: Hardcore or Softcore, Teen or Babe or Mature (or the corresponding Gay categories), you can add categories as sub-categories to these.
  Make sure first that you only checked one of the accepted niches in the Rules tab.
  Example: For teens-only sites which offer several categories (e.g. Teen Softcore, Teen Hardcore, Teen Lesbians, …), check 18-23 yrs in Model’s Age and continue by assigning categories; i.e. Teen Softcore to Softcore, Teen Hardcore to Hardcore, Teen Lesbians to Lesbians, etc.
  When submitting to such site the appropriate (sub)category is automatically selected.
  Note! If the site does not have a general category (e.g. Teen) then this category must still be enabled or the site would never be generated for submit (this applies if you only selected the Teen category in Step 1). The site then also needs to be switched to Manual Submission in the General tab.
• If you do not want the site to be generated for submission when selecting a certain category (in Step 1) then disable the category by unchecking it in the appropriate column.
• Values may be added/edited/deleted directly in the CS Categories table by clicking on the row you wish to edit.
• Before adding your own category in the Category column make sure that the same or a similar category does not already exist in the column. The categories you add will be ignored during automatic Database Update which means they will never be updated or deleted.
• The category you added will be differentiated from the other CS categories by an asterisk (at the beginning of its name). This will give you a better overview of your own categories.
  After adding the category will also appear in the list of categories in Step 1 as well as in other site details.
• Unlike with the CS categories you can edit the categories which you added, i.e. change their name or delete them. Note! Any changes will also affect other site settings in the database.
  If you want to change the name of your category, click on it and enter a new one.
  To delete the category, click on its name and press Delete on the keyboard. We do not recommend to delete the category if sites were generated in it during Step 3 and you are going to submit.
• In case you have set recips by categories (without a default recip) and you enable an additional category, do not forget to assign a reciprocal link to it in the Recips tab.
