The documentation is a work in progress and will be constantly changing. We'll work it into the template and break it into pages sometime in the future. For now we're keeping it simple

There will be a tool for testing the status of ffmpeg and ffmpeg-php on your server coming soon. I have an early beta of it available here. I plan on making the different variables look prettier soon.

PLEASE PASSWORD PROTECT YOUR /admincp! This helps secure your admin panel

Admin Panel

File Uploading
On the front page of the admin panel you will see a browser file upload tool and a box that says Grab from Remote server.

Browser Upload: We have 2 different forms of browser upload tools. The first one is an ajax/flash combo upload tool that works in every version of IE that we have tested and only SOME of the Firefox installations we've used. Both of these tools allow you to upload movie files and thumbnails. You can handle batch uploads by putting all of the files you want to upload into the same directory and selecting them all when browsing for a file. Batch uploading we will always suggest FTP.

FTP Upload: This is the best way to handle uploading LARGE files and 10+ files at a time. Simply browse your FTP to your /media/upload directory and put everything in there. Movie files AND thumbnails.

Remote Server: if your server supports opening remote files (not all do) and you're grabbing videos and thumbnails from other sites this is an incredibly fast way to transfer video files. You will have to have the direct link to the .flv, .jpg or whatever file extension is. This tool will NOT work by simply putting in the link to the page the file is on. You can only do 1 file at a time with this BUT you can always have multiple screens open.

Moderation Box:
When you first log into your admin panel one of the most important sections for you to keep an eye on is your "Moderation" box. From here you can quickly see how many new comments have been posted, links

Comment Moderation:
This tool can be viewed here. Unless you have disabled Comments from the admin panel every single video/game page has the ability for a logged in user to post a comment. This tool is very simple. The default screen will only show the comments awaiting moderation which there is a clearly labeled delete link if it is junk and on the far right there is a link with a 0 on it on the far right. If you would like to approve that comment simply click on that 0 to enable it.

Spam Filter: There is also a tool that we call a spam filter that is on the top of that page. It runs a set of checks on every comment against common elements in comment spam and automatically deletes anything that appears to be spam.

Link Moderation AKA Traffic tading admin:
This tool can be viewed here. This is a read only version of the same exact one that I have in the adult demo. It uses the same exact DB. This page tells you how much traffic you have both sent and received from any domain. When somebody new sends you traffic it will automatically be added to this list.

Traffic Out: Any time you either approve a plug for a site or manually add one it tracks the traffic out for that domain and it is reported here. Old plugs can continually send sites traffic as long as they are in the database because of the paginated nature of this script people can sort the index page in so many different ways.

Traffic In: Every time a site sends traffic to ANY of the pages it gets logged and is reported here.

Deleting a link: There is text that clearly says Delete which you can use to clean things like weird IP addresses and search engines from your log

Enabled/Disabling links: This tool is only used in the Top referrers section. On the Link admin page on the far right you will see either a 0 or a 1. 0 means this link will never show up in this box while a 1 means it will show up only if that site has sent you more traffic than you have sent them. Ratios are available but not from the admin panel yet.

Reported Movies:
This tool can be viewed here. We have a tool for your users to submit reports if videos aren't working for them. Read what the user is saying about the video and delete the report if the video is working fine.

Submitted Movies:
This tool will be rewritten for V1.6 there are currently a LOT of submissions coming through where the person didn't submit a valid thumbnail or upload a movie at all! In these situations simply hit the delete link and ignore any errors that pop up. If the user has submitted all of the data properly you can simply click approve and that file will be added to your DB. If the person forgot to add a thumbnail an error will show that has the word image in it.

Files without Category:
This tool can be viewed here. This is a tool written to help you sort through some of the various problems with some of the feeds where you either don't have that category or one simply wasn't set. Our sponsored feeds usually don't have categories set. The feed from me (import_adult.php) always does but sometimes will end up here if you've deleted the category it belongs to. I personally usually sort this by views so that I am only categorizing the most popular items.

Setting the Category: Click on the Edit Link and select the category from the dropdown list next to the Category text.

Plugs without Category:
Please see Files without Category above. They work exactly the same only this tool is built for external links which is also used for traffic trading.

Pending Plugs:
This tool can be viewed here. This works sort of like the Submitted Movies tool does. You can see the frontend of this tool here. This tool really won't be used until you get large enough for people to start coming to you hoping to get plugged by you.

Add Content Box:
This will eventually have some videos showing you how to do this. There are 4 different forms for adding content to your sites and are labeled
1) Add Game - Adding Games
2) Add Movie (Hosted Movies)
3) Add Plug (formerly Add Remote) - Is used for traffic trading
4) Add Custom (no limit to what this can add) - embeds content on other servers and various custom embeddings
Some other scripts handle all of these from a single form but we've found it easier and faster to have them on different forms. Once you understand the purposes of each form it will help you quickly add content to your site.

Every single one of these forms require you to have:
1) Title
2) Description
3) Category
4) Thumbnail (If you don't have ffmpeg-php support you will have to create your own thumbnails)

Before you go to ANY of these forms you should upload any files you need for that page (thumbnail + movie file). If you're not sure how to do this please see the section titled File Uploading.

I believe most of this pretty much explains itself. If you have uploaded the movie file and the thumbnail properly when you go to Add Movie you will be able to see the movie file in a dropdown box and the thumbnail will be available in the thumbnail dropdown box. Videos will be made showing you an example of adding things in the future.

Fields worth noting:
2257 Link - If you have a link to the 2257 information for the video put it in this field. If you're not sure what 2257 compliancy is please google it and ask questions over on gfy.com.

Ad Link - This will put a little banner directly under your video. An example of this can be seen here.

Featured - As of V1.5.5 this has NOT been worked into the official release. There is an easy mod to make it so that the only items showing up in the random media box are the featured videos.

Utilities:
We are continually working on adding some additional utilities for you guys. If you can think of a maintanence type tool that you believe can help you please let us know and we'll try to make something for you!

Cache Update: There are a number of situations where the cache gets what I call "sticky" which is where you change a bunch of settings and maybe they didn't seem to change right away. Use this tool to fix that problem. Some of the import scripts will need this run before things operate properly. When something seems "goofy" just click this!

Category Fix: Frequently the number of items within a certain category don't update properly. We are continually working on this but it can be hard to pinpoint at times. If you believe your category count is off please use this tool to fix it

DB Backup: You must have access to using the system() command and have your /admincp/backup/ directory chmod 777. This is just a quick way to create a backup of your DB.

Optimize the DB: This tool is for any time you mass delete data or want to make sure your DB isn't wasting space which can help everything run a little bit faster. Uses: OPTIMIZE TABLE

Repair the DB: There are some situations where sections of your DB can become corrupt. phpmyadmin will be able to help you fix the DB if this tool isn't accessible for you. Uses: REPAIR TABLE

Custom MySQL query: This is for advanced users ONLY, if you're not sure how to use this then I suggest deleting /admincp/mysql.php

Email the Users: This is a newsletter type system that uses the php mail() function and sends out a message to ALL of your users once you hit the Submit button so please take it easy on this or else you'll piss off your users.

Ads:
As of V1.5.5 you are required to use the full size of the add (468x60 instead of just 468) With this tool you will be able to quickly add addtional ads to your rotation and edit existing ads.

Deleting ads: The delete tool is inside of the edit ads tool. A little hidden away but it seemed like the only place that made sense for this.

Ad rotations: When you have more than 1 ad for a certain size it is automatically rotated evenly with all ads of that size. We are working on a "weight" based system to be able to have certain ads show up more often than others but is not planned to make it until V1.6 or V1.7

Stats:
this is a basic output that displays the Day, number of plays that day and how many new registrations you received on that day. At the bottom of that page are several stats related reset tools.

Links:
Please see above titled Link Moderation AKA Traffic tading admin

Settings:
Settings are documented inside your admin panel

Users:
Deleting a user: On the left side of this page is a delete link.

Upgrading a user to admin: There is a text link that says Make Admin. When you click on that link you are upgrading the account to an admin account.

Forum:
V1.5.5 removed this, will be revived in a later release. The old version didn't support BBcode and had quite a few issues so we decided to pull the plug on it for a little while until we have the time to overhaul it.

File Editor:
In order to make any changes to your files they will have to be chmod 777 for the script ot be able to write to the files. This is very usefull for quickly editing some template files without having to FTP in. The downside to this is it is a bit of a security problem to have too many files writable by everybody.

News:
Not really used anymore, will revive in a new way soon
