1.Installing Leafs


Follow these steps:
1.Uncompress the file to a directory in the root of your web site.
2.Edit the 'config_mysql.php' and 'settings.php' files from 'configs' directory (more information you will find there)
3.Give right permissions to the "htmls" directory (chmod 0777 htmls).
4.Run the install.php from install directory to create database tables.


Note:
Your web server must take in consider the .htaccess file, that is in the root of application. This is needed because all pages are generated in html files, and the links looks like this: http://www.your-domain.com/Friends.html.
Leafs is css based and is easy to change the design.Modify template.php and style.css

II.Using application


Now you can access Leafs from the web. First of all , you must create a password. This can be done by clicking the link from main menu.(a blinking one);

This application has a tool for quering images with google.This means that you can add pictures to your album in a easy way, from the web.Just enter a search term, description and choose from the result page what pictures you want to keep.

Authentification


There are two possible ways:
  1. a simple one, and also the DEFAULT (choose this from settings.php - more info are displayed there):
    • -You are the only user and the authentification is based on the "users" file, located in the directory that contains the html files (/htmls/users).
    • If you forgot the password, just delete it, and the login link will change into "create password";
  2. advanced :
    • We have developed a system based on client-server authentification.
    • If you want that your visitors to login, in order to upload images, use the MUMSAI application developed by us. How you do that:
      • install MUMSAI
      • create new url in MUMSAI site.Get the configuration values and complete them in the settings.php.
      • set LOGIN_TYPE to "advanced" in Leafs site (settings.php);
