Before we start submitting our first gallery using Mighty Submitter, let's make a short overview of all submitter sections, to have an idea what they stand for. Browser - Just a built-in browser on Internet Explorer engine. Can be very useful from time to time. Profiles - a place where you setup your gallery information and your personal info, such as nickname and e-mail address. You can have as many profiles, as you wish. Each profiles stores information about one virtual webmaster, his last gallery and even Internet Explorer cookies, that can be swapped on the fly! Generator - this is a place where you generate a queue, setup templates and output directories and generate gallery mirrors. You can also place recips here by simple mouse move! Manual - manual submitter. You have your manual queue here and a web browser. Submitter fills all the forms for you, so you just have to verify the data, correct anything when necessary, and click submit button! Auto - completely automatic submitter. Submits your galleries in multi-stream mode, fully automated. Confirmer - a built-in tool to confirm e-mails. Can confirm all types of letters, even those where you're intended to click on a link and fill ID manually. Results - this is a result archive. Stores all your auto and manual submissions, and confirmations. You can resubmit any submissions from here. Database - a place where you can add, edit or remove items. Fully controlled by you, can be updated from internet using Tools -> Update database. By the way, the first thing you should is online database update. Relations - here you can setup relations between different database items (TGPs). It's divided in groups of two types - friends and enemies. You can have any number of each type groups. To make two TGPs friends, just put them into one group of friends. This data will be used in queue generation.
Well, that concludes our very short review of all Mighty Submitter sections. Now we're ready to submit our fisrt gallery! Please note that this tutorial won't give you full information on all profiles fields and program functions - please read manual for that information. Step #1 - Profile setup:
Step #2 - Generating and uploading your gallery: To generate a queue, please click the Create queue button. You will see a filter dialog, that allows you to choose if you want to include sites, that require partner accounts and thumbnail uploads, etc. You can leave the default settings - it will be fine. After the queue is generated, you must setup your gallery template to generate file names and then - files. To begin, please click Template file settings button. Please setup your gallery template file there (make sure you inserted <!--recips--> macro there) and generation output path there. You may also setup FTP settings there if you wish to upload your gallery on FTP server using Mighty Submitter. All other options can be left with their default values for the first time. Let's take a glance at some of them: Gallery file naming - you can select a suffix to be added to your gallery mirror file names. It can be either number of letter comination or both. Search for macros in these files - add file extensions where you want Mighty Submitter to search for macros during generation. After that please click Generate names button right under Template file settings one. When file names are generated and recips are arranged, you may edit recip arrangement by dragging any TGP to any position. When this is done, please click Generate files button to generate gallery mirror files and upload them on FTP when necessary.
