Wacs Administration Guide

Abstract

WACS is a tool for building Adult Web Sites; it is equally suitable for managing a private collection or building a commercial web site. It has many best of breed features including dynamic filtering, model catalogs, automatic download and powerful search engine. It comes with a powerful API (application programming interface) implemented in both Perl and PHP5 languages to allow web developers to leverage it's facilities from their own programs.

This book describes the administrative tools used to manage, catalogue and update collections of digital media (images, videos, etc) maintained within a WACS web site. It provides both a tutorial and a reference document for the various administration applications within the WACS system. The intended audience is WACS web site managers and support staff tasked with maintaining a collection within a WACS system. Some familiarity with using WACS as a normal user is expected, carefully reading the User Guide should suffice.

The WACS source code and other documentation and support tools can all be found at the WACS website at Sourceforge and at the WACS page on Launchpad . A demonstration site using WACS is available at PinkMetallic.com (site expected to go live January 2010). Commercial add-ons and support options can be purchased from Bevtec Communications Ltd, see their website at Bevtec Communications.
