Coppermine top tips

(1/2) > >>

phill104:
I would like to create a list of top coppermine tips, just simple ones that will make life easier. So what are your top tips?

Mine, keep notes. At some time there will be the need to update your install for a sequrity patch, bug fix or upgrade to a newer version so it is worth keeping notes of every plugin you install, every mod you make and every thread you visit or create along the route. Many people make so many changes that when the time comes to upgrade they are reluctant to do so simply because they have lost track of their mods.

I would like to add:

1. Read the documentation. It really helps.

2. Don't forget about the search engines. It is quite difficult to rank high with a gallery because of the lack of text. Use a SEO plug-in and provide a rich description + title to each image.

Hein Traag:
Install the plugin from Frantz which enables you to make a frequent backup of the mysql db from within cpg. Saves lives (wel almost, it saves you a lot of grief if it crashes and you do not have a backup).

vardis:
Have a FAQ for all the newbies!

Hein Traag:
Not helping vardis. Phil asks for tips and not unnescesary posts. The FAQ is here: http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/faq.htm
