BTDS || Baka-Tsuki Distribution System
Baka-Tsuki Distribution System, it says "Distribution System" but I won't be hosting any files. Only links.
There many reasons for that, but the biggest one is German Law.
Short Explanation:
Spoiler! :
We have two groups:
The result is that many posts are made and multiple files are posted.
Therefore it becomes problem for (some)users to find the desired File in that mountain of talk and random stuff.
So I thought about making a central instance where those links can be managed.

- User

Well, there are some things that you should know before using and asking questions.
After you registered/logged in you will see three new buttons/dropdowns on the top right
Contains an overview over all your committed and their status.
Further you can edit and delete links. On Edit the link will be reset and will need an approval of an admin
Add:
As I'm a lazy person, I will only tell you the order of things that are needed to be done to make everything work.
Let's see... We'll start from the beginning.
You want to add a new novel. For that you'll got to the "+ Add" drop down menu and choose "Novel".
It'll ask you to input some information. The only fields that are required are "Name" and "Author".
The other fields are optional, but it'd be nice if you fill them all out. As I will use them later for ePUB generation.
If the Author is not available, just choose "Author" in the "+ Add" drop down menu. And for every other drop down field counts the same. If it's not there, create it.
Also, when creating a language use ISO 639-1 codes for the "ISO" field.
Ok, now that a Novel was created it will be highlighted in red color. That means, it contains no volumes.
When you click the the novel you'll get a new view. It will contain 2 buttons at first.
"Edit" is for editing of the Novel information. And "Add Volume" will add a volume to the novel.
There are no required fields. But as always, please fill them out.
When done you can access the volume.
At first there will be three buttons.
"Edit" will edit the Volume information.
"Add Image" will add an image to the volume. Use the check box "cover" to make the image the cover of the volume.
To add links, the volume must first have "Meta".
"Meta" contains information like: Translators, Editors, Language(REQUIRED), Publisher(like Baka-Tsuki, NanoDesu, etc. REQUIRED), URL(link to the full page of the volume), Chapter url(don't touch them at the moment).
After it's created you will be able to add links.
Click the button "Add Link" and choose the needed information. Every field is required.
After you added a link, you can see them in your "User page" or they will be displayed as "Pending" in the Volume.
The only thing is left is to wait for an admin to approve it. Done.

And if you want to make a better how to... feel free to do it. I'm bad at doing them.
