Dear user,

Sorry this is not the manual, this file is here
to tell you where the manual files are :o)

Open the directory ./_conf/documentation/html and open
the .html files within any browser or click on FAQ/Help
within the admin menu.


Coming from Version 1.5 and 1.51beta:

Make a backup of your galleries and the _conf/db/ directory.
Extract the zip file you downloaded and put your galleries into the
generated phpmygallery directory. Your db/mainsetup/data.php should be
updated (new option, see release_notes.txt). If you did not edit
db/mainsetup/data.php manually, you can overwrite your version of this file.
Overwrite the _conf/db/ directory of the new directory with your version.
Delete the SampleGallery directory, if you want.
If you altered the template, use a program like CSDiff to find your
and my changes and merge them correctly.
After you have copied, make sure everything is still working.
I rechecked the setting for "displaying thumbnails or filenames" in
version 1.51beta you might have to change and save this setting if
thumbnails don't display.
Language packs from 1.51beta will still work.


Some quick basic help:

The FIRST thing you should do is set the adminpassword.
Either edit ./_conf/db/mainsetup/adminpassword.php and
enter the password within the '' or upload all files to
your webspace and enter the ./_conf/ directory in your browser.

Internal settings can be changed in
./_conf/db/mainsetup/data.php in which you
can also set the language of PHPmyGallery to one of
the langpack files. Since PHPmyGallery 1.0, you can set
the language within the admin menu, too.

The layout can be modified through the files within
./_conf/templates/ and requires a bit of HTML knowledge.
Be sure to check out the manual on how to modify templates.

Click "FAQ/Help" in the admin menu to view an
easier-to-read version of the documentation.


That's the most important stuff for now,
have fun with your free software!
