How do I install ePhotoHunt on my server?
ePhotoHunt comes with a zip file. Please unzip it and read file
readme_photohunt.html
Can I add more categories?
Yes, you can.
By default, ePhotoHunt comes with 3 categories: general, male, and
female
For example, if you want to create a new category named kids then use the
FTP software to login to your server, go inside the folder [ephotohunt]
and make a new directory named [kids].
Use FrontPage or Dreamweaver to edit file cat.html - Add the new link
to the category kids like this:
ephotohunt.php?step=show_ins&cat=kids
Then store image files inside kids
folder. Each ePhotoHunt image comes with 3 files:
xx_ori.gif (original image - will be
displayed on the left panel)
xx_mod.gif (modify image - will be
displayed on the right panel)
xx.pl (text file holding image map
data)
How do I remove the Male Erotic & Female Erotic category?
It's very simple.
Use FrontPage or Dreamweaver to edit file cat.html - You just need to
delete the banner link
Use FTP to login to your server, go inside folder [ephotohunt] and delete 2
folders : [male] + [female]
How do I create the Image Map data for the ePhotoHunt image?
You need to use FrontPage or Dreamweaver to do this. Below are the
instructions on how to create the image map using FrontPage.
+ Firstly, you must have 2 image files ready (the original & modified image)
+ Open FrontPage and start the new blank page.
+ Insert the original image first and then the modified the image (menu
Insert / Picture / From File...)
+ Click on the modified image to turn on the "Pictures" toolbar. See
image below
+ Use your mouse to select the Icon "Circular Hotspot" then draw 5
circles on where the 5 different spots are. Please note that the
ePhotoHunt script supports Circular Hotspots only. To make the
game easier draw a bigger circle, to make the game harder draw a smaller
circle.
+ Each time you draw the Circular Hotspot, FrontPage will ask you to
enter the hyperlink for the spot, just enter the number 1 and hit the OK
button (ePhotoHunt doesn't need the hyperlink)
+ When you are done with 5 hotspots then turn on the FrontPage HTML code
screen by clicking on the HTML icon at the bottom of the screen. See image
below
Use the text editor to create the file xx.pl - Copy all numbers as you see
above to the text file like this:
230, 99, 20
281, 176, 23
110, 250, 27
243, 284, 29
185, 151, 26
+ Then use FTP to login to your server, upload all files xx_ori.gif -
xx_mod.gif - xx.pl to your category folder (ie:
general)

Use Text editor to open file config.php and modify these code below:
# Score limit 1 & timer
limit 1.
# This mean if player's score < = 10000 then they will have 90 seconds to
find all the spots
$score_limit_1 = 10000;
$timer_limit_1 = 2250 ; # 90 seconds
# Score limit 2 & timer limit 2.
# This mean if player's score > 10000 and less than 15000 then they will
have 85 seconds to find all the spots
$score_limit_2 = 15000;
$timer_limit_2 = 2125 ;
# Score limit 3 & timer limit 3.
$score_limit_3 = 20000;
$timer_limit_3 = 2000 ; # 80 seconds
# Score limit 4 & timer limit 4.
$score_limit_4 = 25000;
$timer_limit_4 = 1875 ; # 75 seconds
# Score limit 5 & timer limit 5.
$score_limit_5 = 30000;
$timer_limit_5 = 1750 ; # 70 second
# Score limit 6 & timer limit 6.
$score_limit_6 = 35000;
$timer_limit_6 = 1625 ; # 65 seconds
# Score limit 7 & timer limit 7.
$score_limit_7 = 40000;
$timer_limit_7 = 1500 ; # 60 seconds
# Score limit 8 & timer limit 8.
$score_limit_8 = 45000;
$timer_limit_8 = 1375 ; # 55 seconds
# Score limit 9 & timer limit 9.
$score_limit_9 = 50000;
$timer_limit_9 = 1250 ; # 50 seconds
# Score limit 10 & timer limit 10.
$score_limit_10 = 55000;
$timer_limit_10 = 1125 ; # 45 seconds
# Score limit 11 & timer limit 11.
$score_limit_11 = 60000;
$timer_limit_11 = 1000 ; # 40 seconds
# Score limit 12 & timer limit 12.
$score_limit_12 = 65000;
$timer_limit_12 = 875 ; # 35 seconds
By default, if the player's score less than 10000 then they will have 90
seconds to find the spot - If you want to change the time to 2 minutes (120
seconds) then calculate it like this:

then modify the code to
$timer_limit_1 = 3000 ;
