Where to find docs on xxxxxxx.mg modules?

I'm trying to understand better how certain things work in BWG's slideshow and I'm trying to find out where I can the details on things like the toolthumbs.mg call he uses to retrieve the images.

Is there someplace I can go? How did BWG know what to do with toolthumbs.mg? Or is this his own application?

Thanks,

Bill

I imagine toolthumbs.mg is built in to SmugMug and the slideshow is just using it because it's a convenient way to get a list of all the image names, etc. What's returned is actually a fully formated HTML page that the javascript parses the file information out of.

It seems like it's more than that...
There is a parameter called tool (or something similar) so this code seems like it can do multiple things. I would like to know what the options are so I can modify the slideshow code to do some other things and also use that code to do some other things.

Anyone? Bueller?

TIA,

G'day Bill,

The hacks that bwg and myself created levering SmugMug functionality were all reverse-engineered, since it's proprietary code there is no documentation.

Cheers,
