Introduction
This is a companion to the Showfolio Mod. It adds a panel to the TNG admin page to create or edit Folios. If creating a folio it will register it as media in the TNG database.
This mod now registers a folio in the TNG database and can switch to the TNG media editor to add more Folio options and associate it with a person or event.
Mod was developed by Rick Bisbee based on original work and design by Martin Pannier.

TNG Admin Panel
Select Folio
Ambiguous Folio Name
The last element in the search path can be ambiguous. Using an example from my own site:
In this example, "geo" is ambiguous, that is, can match several folio paths.
If the folio path or name is ambiguous, you will be presented with a list of all matching folios to choose from for editing.
Create/Edit Control File
Each Folio folder contains a control file -- folio.php -- which contains options for displaying Folio pages and also acts as the "media" file in the TNG database.
An index.php file can be added to the folder to redirect visitors to the correct URL to view the Folio.
Admin_showfolio will create both files for you as well as register the folio in the database.
The edit page lets you select options and actions.
A word about the tab map. You can map tabs to folio pages using a string (no quotes). For example
Cover, Info, [1-350],Index,[352-394]
Numbers inside square brackets represent a range. Above, the first page tab is labeled "Cover", the second is "Info" followed by pages numbered 1 to 350, then "Index", followed by tabs (pages) 352 to 394.
Tab labels are not bound to the actual page content. If you use a numbering scheme like the one shown above, you will have to modify it if you add or remove a page from the folder to keep the tabs "synced".
Control File
Folio.php is created by the Showfolio Admin mod.
Index File
Index.php is created by the Showfolio Admin mod to redirect visitor to the Folio.
