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/.
