Welcome to BrainFeeder for Coppermine 1.4x

BrainFeeder for Coppermine 1.4x is a plugin that lets you configure RSS feeds based on the photos in your
Coppermine 1.4x gallery. You can set up as many feeds as you want, each selecting its own set of pictures based on various
criterias. 

The feeds can be run in either runtime or batch mode. Batch mode generates a XML file that users can subscribe to, 
in order to reduce the load on your Coppermine gallery and database.

Please go to http://www.natvik.com/bfdoc/brainfeeder_doc.html for a further description of the functionality and
user documentation. 

INSTALLATION
The zip file contains six files.
The rss.php file goes into your coppermine root directory (same directory as coppermines index.php)
The others go into the ./plugins/brainfeeder directory

If you want to run in batch mode, it is recommended that you create a separate directory for storing the XML files, 
for example ./rss When you enter the name of the XML file to be created by BrainFeeder, the path needs to be either relative to 
the coppermine root dirctory, or absolute from you system root.

Please refer to http://www.natvik.com/bfdoc/brainfeeder_doc.html for further information.


Details:

BrainFeeder for Cpg 1.4x provides a simple user interface that lets you configure your feeds without any knowledge of PHP or the technical aspects of RSS feeds and Coppermine. This is the an alpha release. Test it before using it on your live site.

BrainFeeder for Cpg lets you easily configure most of the attributes of the feeds so that you can create titles and description as you need them to be without you having to modify any code.

You can set up a number of different feeds that send pictures to your subscribers based on various criteria, such as:
    * Keyword
    * Category including child categories
    * Album
    * Latest pictures
    * Most viewed pictures
    * The most highly rated pictures

If you want, you can also make BrainFeeder publish individual pictures from restricted albums. This is a handy feature if you need to protect most pictures in an album, but still want to publish some of them. Users need to login in order to click through from the feed.

BrainFeeder can be run in two ways:
    * In realtime mode: The feed is generated each time it is called.
    * In batch mode: BrainFeeder generates a static RSS file that is downloaded by subscribers.
