Site Details – General Info
Main information on the site, allowing its temporary disabling and locking against Database Update + more preferred user settings.
Site Details - General Info
Access Site Details (General) through the context menu in Database ( Database > Show).
General Info:
- Type: Select site type:
TGP – Site accepts only picture galleries;
MGP – Site accepts only movie galleries or mixed galleries;
TGP+ – Site accepts both picture and movie galleries; or mixed galleries; - Manual Submission check if this site requires manual submitting. If you leave this unselected, submission to the site will be made automatically.
Please note that this setting can be changed during Database Update. Therefore, to retain it after an update, check Manual Submission in the Preferred User Settings (see below); - Traffic Rating: Site rating by stars according to the average number of its unique visitors per day as follows:
***** (5 stars) – 500 000 and above
**** (4 stars) – 200 000 to 500 000
*** (3 stars) – 50 000 to 200 000
** (2 stars) – 20 000 to 50 000
* (1 star) – 5 000 to 20 000 - Site Name: Enter the name of the site you wish to add to the database;
- Main URL: Enter the full main URL of the site including ‘www’, terminated by ‘/’ (if applicable). It is essential to ensure that the Main URL is correct because it is used as the identifier of the site in the database both when the site is added and when the database is updated!
- Rules URL: Enter the URL where the rules of the site are located;
- Submit URL: Enter the URL or frame URL where the submit form is located.
You can check the URLs entered by clicking on the Show URL buttons in the appropriate rows.
Partner’s Authorization:
- CS Message: Uneditable item with the Chameleon TGP/MGP Submitter message which is displayed in all sites in the Database ( Database > Show) accepting only partners.
Choose the type of authorization for submit:
- None/Optional select if the site accepts non-partners; even in the case when it generates a password after submit, if the password is not mandatory;
- In Form select if the site only accepts partners and the authorization data (e.g. login, password, approved e-mail, etc.) is directly on the submit form;
- HTTP select if the site only accepts partners but the authorization takes place in a separate dialog box before the submit form is opened.
If you have an active partner account, check Approved Partner box otherwise the site is skipped during site generation in Step 3.
If Login and/or Password are needed for authorization, enter them in the appropriate fields.
Partner account information (Approved Partner, Login, Password) are ignored during Database Update, so you do not need to lock the site against update only to protect this information.
Preferred User Settings [NOT Updated]:
If you use automatic Database Update you can define the data here which will NOT be updated. This setting is preferred to other settings in Database as well as during site generation in Step 3.
- Lock Site Against Update: Check if you wish that NO settings are updated;
- Enable to Generate: Uncheck if you do not wish to submit to the site, i.e. to skip it during site generation in Step 3;
- Manual Submission: Check if you want to submit to the site manually. Unchecking this option means that the updated setting in General Info will be preferred;
- Rating: Select one of the options (1 – 5 stars) if you wish to rate the site according to your own criteria, other than Traffic Rating;
- Notes: In this box you can enter your own comments relating to the site. They will be shown when displaying the Database and are for your information only.
Click on the Save button whenever you want to store the information entered. Click on the Rules tab to view further information about the site.
If you do not want to store the information entered or you have made no changes, click on Cancel button.
By clicking on OK button the data will be stored and the Site Details window is closed.
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 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.
- 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!
- Make sure that you enter the correct URL of the submit form in the Submit URL field. If this form is located in a frame, enter the URL of this frame.
When the Submit URL is incorrectly entered you will not only be unable to read the necessary parameters from the submit form (in the Parameters tab) but any future submit to such site will be unsuccessful. - If the submit to the site is by e-mail or there is no submit URL, enter any URL in the Submit URL field, i.e. the rules URL or the main URL.
- If the submit form is located on more than one page, you will need to set the site for manual submission (check Manual Submission box).
- The data on average unique visitors per day are obtained from the most renowned adult stats. These statistics are used to rate the top traffic sites in the Traffic Rating by stars.
This rating may help you build an idea about the traffic at sites for grouping purposes. Keep in mind that this is the number of accesses to the site, not to your gallery from this site!
If you want to rate the site according to your own criteria (i.e. by accesses to your gallery from the site), you can do so in the Rating box. Your rating will have preference on the Traffic Rating value.
