====== New Rotation Examples ======
===== Regular CJ =====
A site with no categories or a single category.
Example: http://demo.smartcj.com/simple/
How to set it up:
* Configure rotation via [[New Rotation Step By Step]]
* Import galleries in Rotation - Import
* Use a single template for both index and archives—the default template. Add archive navigation:
* Mark where thumbnails display:
**Why this is better than old rotation:**
* Auto-creates and re-links archives; navigation uses smart pagination (e.g., Page: 1 2 3 4 5 ..... 684)
* Easily customize ads per category
* Clean URLs
* Built-in search (content_search template)
===== Multiniche site =====
Example: http://demo.smartcj.com/
**How to set it up:**
* Configure rotation via [[New Rotation Step By Step]]
* Create groups in Rotation - Groups
* Import galleries in Rotation - Import
Each demo category shows a different content import and display method. Configure group and sponsor settings as needed for your use case.
**Put new thumbs to** - Add to "Active" if unsure. For preview-only content, add to "Preload" and review later.
**Check DB for Dupes** - Verify the import URL isn't already in the database.
Skip "Copy Thumbs to server?" if you don't have ready-made thumbnails.
**If you don't have ready-made thumbnails** - Select a crop profile matching your demo design. This profile creates rotation thumbnails.
==== Regular Links 2 FHG ====
Standard import format.
Pattern: URL only
Descriptions come from gallery titles automatically.
==== Sponsor FLV ====
Sponsor provides FLV URL and thumbnail. You use your own player.
Pattern: FLV URL, FLV Preview Thumb
You can set video size, but it defaults to the preview thumbnail size. The script automatically uses the content_custom_flv template.
==== Sponsor Embed Code ====
Sponsor provides embed code directly.
Pattern: Embed code, Thumb
The script automatically uses the content_page template.
==== FHG Hotlink (and variants) ====
Create your own embed galleries from sponsor content. Also includes **FHG All Hosted**, **FHG Half Hosted**, **FHG Skimmed**, **Mov FHG**.
Pattern: URL only
**Create Custom Galleries** - Yes
**Grab Options** - Choose hosting. **Hotlink Everything** means sponsor hosts everything (saves your bandwidth), but hotlinking may be blocked and thumbnails may not fit your design. **Make Thumbs\Hotlink big** creates thumbnails using Crop Profile, but links to large images/videos stay on the sponsor. **DL All** downloads all content to your server and creates thumbnails with Crop Profile.
**FHG All Hosted** - DL All
**FHG Half Hosted** - Make Thumbs\Hotlink big
**FHG Hotlink** - Hotlink Everything (script hotlinks gallery thumbnails without creating custom ones; ensure they fit your design)
**Crop Profile** - Creates thumbnails for the gallery itself (not rotation). Ignored if Hotlink Everything is selected.
**Embed Template** - Choose the template to display this content. Defaults are included, or the script auto-selects based on content type.
==== Mov FHG ====
Like FHG Hotlink, but for video galleries.
==== Grab Flash Galleries ====
Like FHG Hotlink, but for Flash galleries. Works with common formats (not all). Let us know if a specific gallery doesn't work.
==== Ext Custom From ====
Like FHG variants, but displays galleries externally instead of embedded. Available in paid versions only.
===== Multiniche Dual Content CJ =====
[[http://demo.smartcj.com/dual/]] - Create a multiniche site (or divide by models) with separate image/video content and a larger homepage thumbnail per category.
How to set it up:
* Create a crop profile for index thumbnails in Rotation - Settings - Crop Profile.
* When importing, specify this profile in Extra Thumb.
* Create two more crop profiles: one horizontal for videos (mov_profile), one vertical for images (pic_profile).
* Import content in two passes per category (videos and images need different thumbnail sizes).
* First pass: select category/sponsor, set Content Type Limit to "Movies". Create thumbnails using mov_profile and Extra Thumb with the index profile. The script creates two thumbnails: scj/thumbs/123/456.jpg (rotation) and scj/thumbs/123/456.jpg.extra.jpg (homepage).
* Second pass: same settings, but Content Type Limit = "Images" using pic_profile.
* Use 2 templates for listing (different sizes need different styles), or 1 flexible template.
* Add this to .htaccess:
RewriteRule ^cat/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/$ /scj/cgi/out.php?link=images/%{QUERY_STRING}&url=content&p=100&skip_sell=true&group_id=$1&order=$3&page=$4&force_template=$5&content_type=$6
* In your index template, make two changes:
* Output thumbnails with:
* Create 2 links per category (videos and pictures):
Pics
Movs
* Links include content_list_pic/image/ and content_list_mov/movie/, where the template names specify picture and video templates.
* Category display example:
* If your design is flexible, use 1 template with /cat///ctr/1/content_list/image/? (content_list is the default thumbnail list template).
* If your design needs fixed sizes, use 2 templates (content_list_pic and content_list_mov) with different styles for image and video thumbnails.
Templates used: [[Rotation Dual Demo Index]], [[Rotation Dual Demo content_list_pic]], and [[Rotation Dual Demo content_list_mov]]
