View source for Gallery Content Admin

The [[CARMA]] Gallery Content Admin provides the ability to edit photo set details, add thumbnails, view stats, publish galleries, download galleries, delete photo sets, approve content, and search your photo sets. In this admin, you will be able to perform actions related to your site's photo sets.

== Searching Your Photo Sets ==

The "Photo Set Search" box at the top of the page allows you to search for specific photo sets active in your [[CARMA]] system by using a wide variety of search parameters. You can search by ID, Set ID, Path, Caption, who the set was added by, what site the set is active on, and a wide variety of details relating to the general photo set details and the actor's physical description.

== Managing Your Photo Sets ==

[[CARMA]] provides a list of Photo Sets at the bottom of the page, where you can view essential information and manage your photo set.

The "Photo Sets" list displays various details regarding your photo set. You can browse available thumbnails for your set by using the green left and right arrows in the "Thumbnail" column. 

The "Information" column displays basic information regarding your photo set, such as how many photos are in the set, the caption that you used for the set, and your set's main description. The numbers and icons at the bottom of each photo set's "information" category display (in order): how many categories the photo set is in, how many actors (by gender) are in the photo set, how many locations the photo set is in, and what the photo set is categorized under, respectively. The "Set ID" of your content set is also displayed under the "information" column.

Under the "Deployment" column, you can see when that photo set was added to the system. The "Active On" list shows what sites your photo set is active on, as well as the start/end dates, how many views the set has on each site, and the average rating on each site. The "Scheduled" list shows which sites the photo set is scheduled to be displayed on, and when it is to be displayed.

The Action Icons on the right side of the page allow you to perform various actions on each photo set. These include:

* '''Show Photo Set Details''' - Displays all essential information regarding the photo set (description, actors, thumbnail, etc.)
