DAlbum File Manager
I customized DAlbum so that photos can be uploaded using an online file manager.
This involved integrating the DAlbum photo album and the File Thingie file manager and the File Upload/Download - FileReference Flash program.
This package will only work with DAlbum version 1.41 build 154.

SUMMARY
=======
This DAlbum customization will add an online file manager to DAlbum.
DAlbum administrators will be able to upload photos without needing
to be familiar with FTP.
###############################################################################
INSTALLATION
============
1)
Unpack or copy all the files into the DAlbum installation directory.
For example:
> tar -xzf fileManager.tgz -C /usr/share/dalbum
These files should be present:
custom.php.diff
filethingie.php
flash_detect.js
flash_detect.vbs
index.php.diff
README
uploadDownload.swf
uploadFile.php
upload.js
viewFiles.php
2)
Next change to the DAlbum installation directory.
For example:
> cd /usr/share/dalbum
3)
Next edit config/custom.php to add the text for the button that will
link to the file manager. The changes that need to be made are shown
in the custom.php.diff file. Some of the lines in that file start with
a '+' sign; those are the lines that need to be added anywhere to the file.
There is also a utility called patch that may be able to do this
automatically, depending on what other changes you have made to your
custom.php file.
For example:
> patch < custom.php.diff
4)
Finally edit index.php to add the actual button. The changes that need
to be made are shown in the index.php.diff file. You should be able to
use the patch utility to make this change automatically also.
For example:
> patch < index.php.diff

USAGE
=====
When an administrative user is logged into DAlbum, a new button labeled,
"Upload" will appear alongside the "Reindex" button. Click this button
to enter the file manager.
The file manager is based on File Thingie. Photos can be uploaded, and
they can also be removed or renamed. Nested directories can be created.
If the browser has at least version 8 of Flash Player, then a Flash
program will allow multiple files to uploaded at the same time. Click
"Browse" to locate the files to upload. Then click "Upload" to begin
transferring files.
After uploading or moving files, the album will need to be reindexed.
Click the "Reindex" button in the file manager's side bar to begin.

=============

Known issues:
When a file is moved or renamed, and then multiple files are uploaded,
the program will attempt to perform the move or rename again.
