wacsdnlmgr - Wacs download manager
The Wacs Download Manager, wacsdnlmgr allows the resolution of some
of the most common problems with download records. It allows the creation
of a relationship entry for a second model in a lesbian set, association of
a download with a set if it can't be achieved automatically, and the
modification of a video file download name in the event of a name clash.
In time, other features will probably be added. To invoke the download
manager for download record 1234, call wacsdnlmgr with
wacsdnlmgr/download1234.html. The wacsmodelpage will automatically
link to this page for users with role "admin" in the access control lists.
See the security section for more information
on how this works.
wacsvendmgr - Wacs vendor manager
The Wacs Vendor Manager, wacsvendmgr is used in the maintenance
of the vendor database which is used by some of the model and set display
pages to profer a link back to the original site and heavily in the download
infrastructure. It can display, update or create new vendor records in
the vendor database. When first invoked, it will offer a choice of vendor
sites which have been preloaded into the system using the the console
tool vendor table population command,
vendpop. A number of sample vendor records are distributed in the
XML file, vendors.xml which is read by the vendpop command.
This is typically done automatically by the easy install command when
WACS is installed.
The Add A New Vendor option gives a simplifed form for the basic
details; once created the record should be modified to add whatever extra
information is also known.
Please contribute details for any good quality sites you know
of to the authors to be included in a future version.
Please note that the URLs stored in the vendor database include a number
of keywords sandwiched by hash (#) symbols which are substituted for by
WACS before calling the described page. The current recognised keywords
are:
| String | Data Source | Description |
| #NAME# | iname from idmap | The model's name |
| #KEY# | ikey from idmap | The key for this model
(ie model no or reference) |
| #ALT# | ialtkey from idmap | The alternative key for
sites like atkexotics and atkgalleria that use two keys. |
| #SETKEY# | dsetkey from download | The relevant set's
key or reference number. |
wacsphotmgr - Wacs photographer manager
The Wacs Photographer Manager, wacsphotmgr is used in the maintenance
of the photographer database which is used by many of the model and set display
pages to profer to work by the same photographer.
