album-data for Debian --------------------- 1. Configuration The configuration file (/etc/album.conf) will be created after the first execution of the album. This file has basic parameters. See below: # # Configuration file automatically created by album # conf_version 4.04 theme_path /usr/share/album/Themes theme_url /Themes/ Then, if you need to use Album with a web server, you must make a symbolic link from /var/www/Themes, pointing to /usr/share/album/Themes. Example: # ln -s /usr/share/album/Themes /var/www In Apache2, you can put a .conf file into /etc/apache2/conf-available (please, see an example in /usr/share/doc/album-data/examples/). 2. How to use themes From http://marginalhacks.com/Hacks/album/Docs/Section_2.html: ------------------------------------- "4: Using A Theme If themes were installed properly and are in your theme_path then you should be able to use a theme with your album: % album -theme Blue /home/httpd/test/Photos The photo album should now be using the Blue theme. If it has a bunch of broken images, then your theme probably hasn't been installed into a web-accessible directory, see the Installation docs. Album saves the options you specify, so the next time you run album: % album /home/httpd/test/Photos You'll still be using the Blue theme. To turn off a theme, you can: % album -no_theme /home/httpd/test/Photos" ------------------------------------- TIP1: Perhaps the program ask about themes directory in the first use. You will can use "-theme_path". Example: $ album -theme Baby -theme_path /usr/share/album/Themes/ TIP2: To see all available themes, type the command: $ ls /usr/share/album-data/Themes/ Or go to http://davepics.com/Theme_Album/. 3.
