First up there are the flagged models - currently this consists of four categories: Cuties (C) defined as good looking models who's sets are not particularly explicit, Solo (S) models mostly selected for good solo sets, Lesbian (L) those who have particularly good lesbian sets, Straight (F) modles who have particularly good straight sets, and Placeholders (P) used to hide pseudo-model entries that may be convenient for download purposes (for instance a group combination) but aren't real identifiable single models. For each of these, just provide the appropriate capital letter when calling wacsmodelthumbs, for instance use wacsmodelthumbs/C for Cuties, and wacsmodelthumbs/L for Lesbian sets.
Next up is the vendor search mechanism. Here it is assumed that you've utilitised the idmap facility and have allocated an appropriate abrieviation to each source of material. So if for instance you've marked models from Sapphic Erotica (www.sapphicerotica.com) with an IDMap flag of SE, the following examples would apply. To see all models with content from Sapphic Erotica, you would call wacsmodelthumbs with wacsmodelthumbs/V=SE where V stands for vendor. You can further select just those models to whom you've given a top rating, ie a mrating value of 4 or 5, using the Q (for Quality) selector. Thus wacsmodelthumbs/Q=SE will select only your top rated models from vendor SE. Another vendor based selector is connected to the download mechanism - N - selects models who have had new sets added within the last three months (as determined by the refresh and chkmodel commands on their last run). Thus wacsmodelthumbs/N=AMK will select only those models updated within the last three months. The final vendor search is designed to help with maintenance of the system and shows those models from a given vendor who have not yet been rated - the U (for Unclassified) selector finds models with sets from this vendor who have no specified rating, it is used like this: wacsmodelthumbs/U=SE.
Next is the Alpha-search mechanism, used typically for doing pages for a given letter of the alphabet, but quite capable of being even more selective if required. For an index of models with names beginning with H, you would call wacsmodelthumbs with wacsmodelthumbs/A=H. When using the Alpha search mode (A=), there will be a row of links for each letter of the alphabet along the top of the page, just below the normal hot item links. If you want to search for all models begining with Bet for example, you can do wacsmodelthumbs/A=Bet and it'll find Beth, Betsy, Betty, etc. Finally you can get wacsmodelthumbs to display an index of models in a model based tag set by using the T option. For example, to display the members of tag set 595 (which must be a tag set of models, not sets), you would call wacsmodelsthumbs with wacsmodelthumbs/T595.
In summary, the options are:
| Invocation | Meaning |
|---|---|
| A=arg | Alpha search for argument arg |
| C | Models flagged as Favourite Cuties |
| F | Models flagged as Favourite Straight |
| L | Models flagged as Lesbian Favourites |
| N= | Models flagged as having had new sets recently from vendor |
| P | Models flagged as Placeholders, normally ignored |
| Q=vendor | Models with a top rating score from vendor |
| S | Models flagged as Favourite Solo Models |
| Tnumber | Models listed in tag number number |
| U=vendor | Models with no rating score with sets from vendor |
| V=vendor | Models with sets from vendor |
wacsmodelthumbs is capable of colour-coding the names of the various models to show key aspects of their status and ratings - this is enabled or disabled by the indexcolours directive in the configuration file. When enabled, (indexcolours = Y), it will colour model's names as follows: green - rating of 4 or 5 (ie a high rating), amber - rating of 3 (a medium rating), magenta rating of 1 or 2 (a low rating). Models with no sets yet unpacked will be coloured blue. Black signifies all others - typically some sets but no rating.
There are currently four modifiers on the behaviour of wacsmodelpage. By default, if a prefexcl attribute exists within the access control list file (see the security section) for the current host/user combination, this will be applied to the search of the models portfolio. When this mode is enabled a warning and link is added in the page heading. To disable the preference exclusions (prefexcl) mode for model 123, you call wacsmodelpage with a /N appended to the URL, as in wacsmodelpage/123/N. This functionality is all suppressed if the prefexcl flag is not set for the current user. The second modifier allows the copying of this model's sets to a tag index, to add model 123's sets to tag set 456, you call wacsmodelpage with wacsmodelpage/123/T456. All of these options work for idmap based key searches too, so if you want Erika's (from AMK) sets added to the tag set, you can do wacsmodelpage/eri046/T456. You can also specify that a tag set should be created with the next available tag set number by using /Tnext as in wacsmodelpage/eri046/Tnext. The third option allows you to display only those sets by a specific photographer, this is done with the /P= option. This might be used as in wacsmodelpage/123/P=BMB to select only those sets by model no 123 that were shot by photographer BMB (this cancels out the preference exclusion feature, intentionally). The fourth option allows you to display only those sets featuring a lesbian liason between the main model and a second specified model, so if for instance you wanted to see those sets where model 9 goes with model 15, you would do wacsmodelpage/9/L=15. Note that if the preference exclusions (prefexcl) feature is active, it will be applied to the tag set creation, so only the preferred types of sets will be tagged. At the moment the modifiers are mutually exclusive.
Since wacstagsets provides a link to wacsdeltag for each individual set it displays, it provides a very rudimentary way of editing set-based tag sets, in so much as you can create a tag set through wacsnewsets or the search functions, and then trim the entries you do not want using wacstagsets. This option is not proferred to host/user combinations listed with only a viewer role; you have to be power or admin to be allowed to remove items from tags.
