I've got a trial. What next? .: Knowledge Base

Step 1: Downloading the program and the database

Go to the member section at Russian Submiter 2006 website and authorize yourself (username: demo, password: demo). Then surf to Download section and download the program. See screenshot. After that choose the database you need - download Trial TGP Base. Below we suppose we work with Trial TGP Base (as example).

Unpack downloaded archives to any suitable place and run RussianSubmitter2006.exe

Step 2: Updating database via Internet

Now you have to download database in the program. Press Open Project button at the main toolbar then choose the database file - trial_tgp.fsp in our example.

Ok, you've loaded the database - now you need to update it via Internet:

Click Update / Import button at the main toolbar.
Then click Next arrow at the appeared window. You'll be asked to type your login and password.
When you'll have your authorization done pick your database (Trial TGP Base in our example) and hit Next.
Press Next on the next step - we don't need to change anything there.
Press Finish after update's completion.

Database update has been finished.

Step 3: Making of first gallery - preparation

Go to the Profiles panel (see screenshot). Here you must specify necessary data about webmaster and gallery.

Modify default profile data:

Name - webmaster's name.
E-Mail - webmaster's e-mail.
Domain - domain name of server, which holds the gallery, for example, www.domain.com.
Folder - gallery folder, e.g. gallery01.
Small Desc - short description of the gallery (up to 12 characters).
Med. Desc - medium description of the gallery (up to 17 characters).
Big Desc - big description of the gallery (up to 25 characters).
Long Desc - very big description of the gallery (up to 35 characters).
Category - categories of your gallery. You can pick several ones - set Multi checkbox and hit Add button to add more than one category. See screenshot.
Pic Count - number of images in the gallery.
Comments - comments for the gallery, for instance, "15 thumbs of wild group action". You can use values of the other fields to fill up this one - it's easy with use of macros. For example, comment like "<#Pic Count#> thumbs of <#Big Desc#>" after gallery generation will have macros replaced with the according values.
88w x 88h - path to sample image (may be required for thumbnail TGPs). It must be most attractive image sized to 88x88 pixels, e.g. C:gal_0188x88.jpg.
90w x 120h - path to sample image sized to 90x120 pixels, e.g. C:gal_0190x120.jpg.
110w x 110h - path to sample image sized to 90x120 pixels, e.g. C: gal_01110x110.jpg.
Type - content type of the gallery - Pictures/Movies/Stories. You can specify several values. For instance, if you have pictures and movies at your gallery then set Multi checkbox in Type field and add Movies type with Add button.

Step 4: Making of first gallery - extra settings

After we filled gallery properties we need to setup extra settings.

Open Options tab. See screenshot.

If you submit via proxy set Proxy checkbox and specify your proxy's IP address and a port in such notation: proxy:port, for example, 208.34.35.55:8080. You may need proxy to post from more than two virtual webmasters per day, because many TGPs allow to post one or two galleries in a day. See screenshot.
Desired proxy will be used automatically during submitting and confirming.

If you plan to use built-in Confirmer then you have to fill up POP3 and SMTP properties. Click Scan button and program will recognize e-mail addresses used in this profile. Then you should specify login, password and IP addresses (or names) of POP3/SMTP servers. You can setup your mailboxes manually as well using the buttons Add, Del, Edit. See screenshot.

Step 5: Making of first gallery - preparing list of TGPs

At this step we have to choose TGPs that match our gallery. You can easily select suitable TGPs using special filters (on the right at the top of TGP list):

Can Submit - pick TGPs that match the conditions of our gallery.
Can Submit and Auto - pick TGPs that match the conditions of our gallery and can be submitted automatically.
All - pick all TGPs.

For the ordinary submission we recommend you use Can Submit filter - i.e. pick TGPs that match the conditions of our gallery (see screenshot).

Then press Create Submission and Generate button. The program will make set of TGP entries (for which gallery will be generated) and open Generator (see screenshot).

Step 6: Generating the gallery

You should setup next parameters in the generator:

Output - path on your local drive gallery will be generated to, for example, c:new gallery.
Domain - gallery URL. We can use macros, for example, http://<#Domain#>/ - while gallery generating macros will be replaced with value from profile.
Also you can specify concrete URL, e.g. http://my-galleries.com/ or http://www8.smutserver.com/amateur/my-galleries/.
Folder (Page tab) - set it as <#Folder#>/; while generating <#Folder#> macro will be replaced with value from profile. You can specify concrete value as well, for example - gallery01/ (see screenshot).
Folder (Recips tab) - path on your local drive reciprocal images will be generated to, for example, recips/. While gallery generating reciprocals will be placed to "OutputFolder", for example, c:new galleryrecips.
URL (Recips tab) - server path of reciprocals directory relative to gallery. For example, if you prefer to put reciprocals one level upper the gallery, you should set this parameter as ../recips/.

Now we have to prepare gallery template.

If you already have template then just insert it in Template tab or load by means of Load from File function. It's necessary to put <#recip#> macro in template - while gallery generating it'll be replaced with reciprocal block (group of reciprocal images and/or text).

If you haven't any template and you want to make thumbnails in built-in generator then navigate to Images tab and begin to work with images. Add images using Add Files , Add Folder or Load From Output buttons (see screenshot). What can you do with images? You can swap their positions (drag mouse with pressed Shift), simply drag them to the desired place, delete them, etc. Use the Remove Tail or Remove Tail from Disk buttons to delete images that have not fitted to the gallery. You can view desired image by double-clicking on its thumbnail or pressing the View Image button.
Then you need to put <#thumb#> macros in the template (Template tab) - they will be replaced with thumbnail block during gallery generating. There can be a few thumbnail blocks. You can add them using Add Thumb Block function; move blocks with Drag-and-Drop function.

When all things are ready, press Generate button and wait while the gallery is generating.

Then check Output directory whether the gallery was generated the right way.

Step 7: Gallery submission

So we have gallery generated and uploaded to the server - go the Submitter panel. Input your username and password, if you are not authorized yet (see screenshot).

See screenshot.

Preparing to submit
Clean your Internet Explorer's cache before submission by means Internet Cache Cleaner function in Utilities menu at the main toolbar (see screenshot).
If you use proxy, then check it for anonymity and capacity for work by pressing Set and Check Profile Proxy button.
To speed up submission:
Disable image loading. Toggle Load Images button at the main toolbar.
Disable Java-applets and ActiveX (Flash-movies, etc.). Toggle Enable Applets and ActiveX Components button at the main toolbar.
Disable popups. Toggle Show Popups button at the main toolbar.
Disable dialogs (Java-script errors, authorization windows, etc.). Toggle Show Dialogs button at the main toolbar.

Manual (semiautomatic) submission
Some pages must be submitted manually. These pages are shown in the Manual tab at Submitter panel. Fill them using Open and Fill button (hotkey: F3) and Fill (fill currently opened form - hotkey: F4).
During manual submission you can use context menu Recognize function to recognize submit codes (passphrases) - you have to point your mouse cursor over submit code image and click the mouse right button then pick Recognize function. Recognized submit code will be placed as a text into the clipboard. See screenshot. Notice that almost all TGPs whose submit code recognize well, placed in automatic submission queue.
To speed up submission pictures in forms will be loaded automatically, i.e. in case of submission with disabled images in manual queue - images that hold submit codes will be shown anyway.

Automatic submission
Press Start All button to start automatic submission. Pages will be submitting at the same time in a few different threads. Number of auto queues can be set in Options tab - Queues parameter. See screenshot. You can vary this parameter, because its optimal value depends on your bandwidth. Bigger bandwidth - more pages could be submitted simultaneously.
You can suspend submission by Pause All button. Then it can be resumed by Start All .

Step 8: Confirming letters

After completion of submission it's necessary to confirm letters.

Go to the Confirmer panel (see screenshot).
Pick desired profile.
First fetch your e-mail that we have to confirm (Get Messages button). Wait until all letters will be delivered.
New messages will be highlighted in such manner:
- Black - message matches the confirmation rule.
- Red - there's no confirmation rule for this message.
- Gray - deletion rule have been found for this message (deletion rules usually used for spam).
- Green - message marked by the rule that has been found for this message.
You can view messages as the plain text (Text tab), and as a HTML-page (HTML tab). Also you can view all links in selected message (Links tab).
Launch confirming by the Confirm button. To speed up the procedure messages are confirming now in two threads - Auto1 and Auto2.
To view confirm results necessary to pick a filter Confirmed (see screenshot) - only confirmed letters will be displayed. Then go to the Results tab and examine results for every letter.
Then you have to seek in letters for partner passwords. Perform search in letters for word password (see screenshot). List of letters will show only those ones that contain this word.
If you wish to put particular password in a profile quickly - select password at Text tab and click mouse right button. If program recognized TGP that send a letter, the context menu will have next items - Paste to Site Name -> Password (see screenshot). You can add username there as well.
Now delete letters - apply All filter and hit Clear List button.

Confirmation completed.

Step 9: Reviewing submission results

To review and analyze submission's results it's necessary to move submission to the history - press Finish Submission button.

At the History panel all pages distributed in groups depending on submit page text or result page text.

In the history you can resubmit any particular page using Open and Fill (F3) and Fill (F4) buttons.

After review of results submission can be deleted by means Delete Submission function.

Good luck! ;)
