How to Create a 2nd Picture Database

Postby smarty on Mon Nov 06, 2006 5:02 pm

I have two directories of pictures, one set is for anyone, the other set is private. Right now I have only imported the non-private pictures into the pictures database.

I know I can set up another "pictures" screen, and link the category to another database (the private database). The question is, how do I go about importing the private pictures into a seperate datebase?

Should I just rename the present pictures database (say call it non-private.xml), and then recreate the pictures database importing the private pictures? Is there a more straight forward way to do this?

Open Xlobby setup ( F2 )

for public picture database :
- use the normally import ( Basic | Picture Paths )

for private picture database :
- select Databases, select Import.
- New DB : create the name u wan ( PicturesPrivate for the exemple ) and press "Add".
- select the pictures template.
- Add the folder
- Press "Import"

Close the setup and go to the private screen.
- open skin editor.
- select the category
- assigne the database PicturesPrivate.

Now is good :wink:

you can do it for all database.
