So far in this user guide, we've been looking at the many facilities and features provided by the main WACS applications, but the WACS system goes much further than that. As well as being a complete environment for the maintenance of an adult media collection, it also provides a significant set of toolkits and utilities for web designers and web site managers to use to build their own offerings. As a demonstration of these facilities we have included a small demonstration web site written in the PHP language to give people an idea of what can be done. This is known as The Simple Skin and is provided as part of the Wacs-PHP environment. Additionally we have recently added a new sample program that uses Web 2.0 technologies.
This package (Wacs-PHP) may well have been installed along with WACS and this chapter will showcase a few of it's features. Of course it's very intention is as a worked example for web developers to better understand what the WACS system can do for them, so the one you're seeing may have been restyled or significantly altered from what is described here.

Wacs-PHP Simple Skin: Main Menu
The starting point for exploring the Wacs-PHP simple skin sample web site is the Main Menu shown here. The title and navigation bars are common thoughout the sample site, and although all links go somewhere, in the initial release only a few are significantly functional! Since the cornerstone of WACS is the model page we decided to implement the equivalent of that first. To get there you can either follow the link for newest models or go to the model directory.

Wacs-PHP Simple Skin: Model Directory
This is the model directory. It's still fairly simple and will take as long as it needs to to display all of the models known on this WACS site. Future planned enhancements will include pagination, most likely by first letter of the Model's name.

Wacs-PHP Simple Skin: Girlie - The Model Page
We decided to call the model page girlie.php which we figured was utterly politically incorrect but absolutely and accurately described what it covers (or is that uncovers!) in a nice and short name.
The current Wacs-PHP Simple Skin is still very much a work in progress - there are bits of the system that aren't anything like complete yet and in many ways it probably will be for quite a while. If you have an interest and some web design skills or php programming skills, please consider getting involved and helping us improve it.... that is after all the goal of Free and Open Source Software (F/OSS).
