Prerequisites

To use this integration, you must first configure FotoWeb and FotoStation as described below.

Configuring FotoWeb

• To use a taxonomy for a specific field in FotoWeb, you must enable taxonomy for the field. For more information, see Enabling taxonomies for specific metadata fields. 
• To allow users in a specific group to change the taxonomy, the group must have the Manage taxonomies administrative permission assigned to it. For more information, see Assigning administrative privileges to a group.

Configuring FotoStation

You must create a hierarchical QuickList file where you add your hostname and the relevant metadata field ID (and, optionally, a sorting command) to the QuickList file. In this case, the QuickList file acts as a proxy.

FotoStation uses the same QuickList filename convention to apply metadata from the taxonomy as from any other QuickList/linked list. You can even map to different fields following the QuickList naming conventions.

You can also apply multiple keywords with one click or prevent it by setting the #! APPLY_SELECTED_ONLY function. 

 Example: 025.txt file configured to connect to the Keywords taxonomy (field 025):

#! FOTOWARE_TAXONOMY_URL=https://yoursite.fotoware.cloud/fotoweb/api/taxonomies/025 
#! SORT_SIBLINGS=1

1. Add the first line above to the relevant QuickList file, replacing yoursite.fotoware.cloudwith your FotoWeb hostname and 025 with the metadata field ID to which you want to connect the taxonomy.
2. Optionally, add #! SORT_SIBLINGS=1 or #! SORT_SIBLINGS=0. Select=1 to display an alphabetically sorted list or =0 to display an unsorted list in FotoStation. 
   If you do not add this line, the order will be the same as in FotoWeb.

2. Save the text file.

You can now work with FotoWeb taxonomies in FotoStation.
