Instructions

This page serves to inform about the functionality of the Prodosia application and give a clear understanding of how it works.

Meaning of the different files

Knowledge regarding the files that the application uses will not necessarily have to be used, but it will give a better idea of how the application functions regardless.

• Prodosia.jar
  This is the main application file, a Java .jar file. In order to run it, an installation of Java is required Java JRE 8.
• database.db
  This is the database file that contains the taglists, users, trackers, archives and almost everything that goes on in the application. It is recommended to make a regular backup of this file in case something goes awry.
• keys.txt
  This file contains the Imgur API keys and Discord bot token. If this file is removed these credentials will have to be inserted in the application again.
• cookie.txt
  This file stores the Imgur session for the application. If this file is removed, you will have to login into Imgur.com again.

Taglists

Main article: Taglist

A taglist is a collection of users that are interested in a certain topic or other commonality.

Users

Main article: User

A user is a member of the application that is subscribed to one or more taglists.

Tracker

Main article: Tracker

A tracker is a staff member of the application that has permissions to one or more taglists. A tracker can have either Imgur or Discord credentials, or both.

Archive

Main article: Archive

Archiving requires the Prodosia application to be setup to use a discord bot. It allows for taglists, optionally with a specified rating or filters, to automatically be posted to the corresponding archive channels.

Commands

An easy way to interact with most of these components, especially when one does not have physical access to the application itself, is through commands. These commands can be issued through Imgur or Discord.
