This ReadMe.txt file will guide you thru the steps required to configure and install Article Syndication Script on your web site.
Master Resale Rights :- When you purchase this Software, you will
automatically have Exclusive Master Resale Rights to this Perl source
code. That means, you own the Script's copyright and you can sell
the master resale rights, resale rights, or whatever. You can brand
whatever you like. You can sell as a stand-alone package or with
other products.
Contents
This package (Syndicate.zip) contains 5 files:
- articlesyn.cgi (PERL Script)
- template.js (Template File)
- articles.csv (Article Title Database)
- CodeCreator.htm (JavaScript code generator)
- and Readme.txt (this document)
Configure The 'articlesyn.cgi' Script
Open the Script 'articlesyn.cgi' on Notepad or any text editor.
Locate the first line which specify the location of PERL in your system.
The Default value is: #!/usr/bin/perl
Generally this is the location in almost all servers. In some cases this may be; #!/usr/sbin/perl
If you are not sure, verify it with your server administrator then
make necessary changes. Please don't remove the '#' sign at the
beginning. You don't have to change the default value if the Script
works properly.
Save The 'articlesyn.cgi' File
When you save the file, some times it will save as 'articlesyn.cgi.txt'
instead of 'articlesyn.cgi'. In that case, your have to rename it.
Configuring Other Files
A) template.js File
NO CHANGES are necessary.
If you want to change the look of the Articles, you can edit the template using any text editors. Please don't make any changes to the variables like $BorderSize,$BorderColor,$BkgImage etc. This step is recommended only for EXPERIENCED users.
articles.csv - Database Of Articles
This is a simple CSV database having 4 fields. Article Title, Article URL, Category and a dummy field 'x' has been separated by '|' pipe sign. You can add any number of articles into this database.
To add more Articles to this database, Just open 'articles.csv' file on a text editor or spread sheet program and enter the following 4 values seperated by '|'.
Article Title|URL|Category|X
(You must press the 'ENTER' key at the end of each line.) Then save 'article.csv' file.
You can download 'CSVed', an easy and powerful CSV file editor
software from the following link:
http://home.hccnet.nl/s.j.francke/csved/csvedsetup.exe
You can add more articles to your database with this free tool. Please don't rearrange column order.
Upload The Modified Files
Upload the following files to your server into a directory that is allowed to run Perl CGI programs ( Generally /cgi-bin/ ) as ASCII (PLAIN TEXT) Mode. If you uploaded in Binary mode by mistake, it will not work.
Set CHMOD (global execute permissions) as follows:
- articlesyn.cgi set to 755
- template.js set to 777
- articles.csv set to 777
Creating JavaScript Code
Before using the Code Creator, you have to configure it by editing a value. Just open this file on a text editor and look for the following code at the top portion (8th line from the top):-
var murl = "http://www.YourDomain.com/cgi-bin/articlesyn.cgi";
Replace the above URL with actual location of the script in your server.
Now, you have to create JavaScript code to place on your sites where the Articles to be appeared. Just double-click on 'CodeCreator.htm' file to launch it. Fill-up the form and press 'Generate Code' button. Place the generated code on suitable places on your WebPages. You can place these JavaScript codes in any number of pages.
