wacsfull sends the full size image from a set - for image 45 of set 123, call with wacsfull/set123-45.jpg. If called with scale instead of set, it will rescale and shrink the image as specified in the current user preference settings. To use the scaling option, call with wacsfull/scale123-45.jpg.
wacsframe puts a simple HTML page wrapper around an image provided by wacsfull to provide a better browsing experience. It is typically called by wacsindex with four parameters separated by = (Equals signs). The first parameter is the stem of the wacsfull command (set1234 or scale1234) depending on the desired base image; the second parameter is the image number within the set to display, the third parameter is the number of images in the whole set, the final parameter is a list of models involved. An example invocation asking for image 12 of a 76 image set called 456 featuring Sarah, our model no 123, scaled to the current scaling factor would be: wacsframe/scale456=12=76=Sarah-123. Multiple models can be called using commas , as in [...]=Sarah-123,Jane+P-67 thus adding links to Sarah, model no 123, and Jane P, model no 67. The complexitity of this URL completely avoids the need for this script to talk to the WACS database or configuration system at all.
wacsimg sends the icon for the specified set - for set 123, to get the icon call with wacsimg/set123.jpg. To force it to produce only official icons, call with wacsimg/icon123.jpg. For scaling to the standard icon size, as specified in the configuration file layout section option "thumbsize", use wacsimg/std123.jpg. To get a minature icon as specified by the "minisize" option, use wacsimg/mini123.jpg
wacsindex provides details of, and thumbnails of the specified set - for set 123, call with wacsindex/set123.html. Note that this has now been enhanced to include the official icon if available, and attempts to make some kind of page for videos as well. It will also include any set description (sdesc) that has been added for that set. It will also show any additional icons that have been associated via the additional icons (saddicon) field. If called with wacsindex/page123.html, it will produce a pretty format multi-page index instead of the standard full set page. Subsequent pages are called by wacsindex/page123-2.html and so on. If called with wacsindex/info123.html, it will produce detailed information for the set along with a group of eight icons from even spaced locations through the set giving some idea of the action.
wacspage is actually a clone of
wacsindex but is configured to operate only in the
prettyist mode, the page mode.
The trick is that the prefix on the set number is menu configuration name
to make use of. So if you want to use the wacsindex
within a custom web site, you can do this with wacspage. There is a worked
example of this as part of the Wacs-PHP simple skin making use of the
simple.cfg where you call wacspage
with wacspage/simple234.html.
wacsthumb provides the specified thumbnail image from the set - for the thumbnail image for image 45 of set 123, call with wacsthumb/set123-45.jpg. Additionally from Wacs 0.8.5, wacsthumb can be used to retrieve, scale and cache additional icons from the directory specifed in the set. The additional icons can be retrieved at normal size (which may include upscaling them) using wacsthumb/add123-4.jpg or at mini icon size using wacsthumb/addmini123-4.jpg. Also added in Wacs 0.8.5 is the ability to provide .png files as an alternative to .jpg, merely by requesting wacsthumb/set123-45.png. The final new ability added in Wacs 0.8.5 is the ability to provide mini versions of the thumbnails through wacsthumb/mini123-45.jpg.
wacszip is used to retrieve an archive file of actual content. For an image set, it returns a zip file; for a video set the video file. It can be called with any of the supported extensions (.zip, .wmv, .mpg or .mov) and will return the content regardless. Generally, getting the extension right is vital to the browser doing the right thing, but wacszip doesn't care! Examples of use would be wacszip/set123.zip and wacszip/set456.mpg.
