Requirements

This script requires Perl on either a UNIX or WINDOWS server. To log in and manage your web pages in WYSISWYG mode, you will need to use MicroSoft Internet Explorer on a Windows Machine. If you're using Netscape or an Apple Macintosh, you will see a regular text area. The web pages you edit or create will be viewable by all browsers. To utilize the zones feature (SSI) your server will need to support Server Side Includes.

Configuration

This Script requires no Configuration, however if you have trouble installing the Script, you can hard code some values in the _key.cgi file.

Installation - Linux/Unix/Mac Servers

[script] refers to the first portion of the name of the CGI Scripts you purchased.

Setting the Path to Perl. Open all CGI Scripts (except [script]_key.cgi) in a Plain Text Editor and make sure the first line of the CGI Script is the Path Perl for your server. Most Users can skip this step being the default Path to Perl shipped in the CGI Script is very common.

NB: if you do not you a Plain Text editor such as Windows NotePad or Mac Textedit (in Plain Text Mode), your Text/HTML editor will add extraneous code to the CGI Script when you save it which will result in a server 500 Error.
Upload all CGI Scripts to your cgi-bin or any cgi enabled directory and CHMOD all the CGI Scripts to 755. It is imperative that you upload (transfer) all CGI Scripts to your server in ASCII mode.

If you forget to CHMOD all CGI Scripts to 755, Step 3 will yield a Server 500 Error.

If you do NOT upload (transfer) all CGI Scripts to your server in ASCII mode, Step 3 will yield a Server 500 Error.
Load your Browser, point it to the [script]_setup.cgi file and follow the on-screen instructions for installation. For example, in your browser, type :

http://www.yourdomainname.com/cgi-bin/[script]_setup.cgi
Enter a Username and Password. This will be your Username and Password for the Administration Section. If the Setup Routine is successfully processed a link to the Administration Section will appear on the resulting page. Click the link to access the Administration Section with the Username and Password you just entered in the Setup Script.

Should you encounter any Permission problems with the Setup Routine follow the instructions returned by the Script.

Upon successful completion of the Setup Routine the [script]_setup.cgi_setup.cgi script attempts to delete itself. This ensures the Setup Routine can not be repeated by another Surfer who would effectively reset your Administration Section Username and Password. Manually delete the [script]_setup.cgi CGI Script you uploaded if the Setup Routine could not automatically delete it (Refresh your FTP directory listing to check). Should you ever forget your Administration Section Username and Password you can repeat this Step to set a new Username and Password.

Common Installation Problems - Linux/Unix/Mac Servers

NB: Shared Secure Servers, VPS, SBOX and Free Servers.

Server 500 Error. This most often occurs because Step 2 was not followed precisely. Make sure the CGI Scripts you are uploaded are CHMOD to 755, the folder the CGI Scripts reside in is also CHMOD to 755, and the CGI Scripts were transferred in ASCII Mode. Auto-Detect only detects the extensions you specify in your FTP client's Settings.
I can initially load the Setup Script and punch in my Username and Password, but when I submit the Form, I receive 404 Error Page or an alternate Error Page stating "Page Cannot be found".

This suggests your Server is operated by a very nervous System Administrator employing strict security measures, you're using a Shared Secure Server which dynamically sets your domain name to something other than the a standard Top Level Domain (www.yourdomainname.com) or sbox is employed by your server.

In any case, open [script]_key.cgi in Plain Text Editor (not a WYSIWYG Text Editor, nor a Rich HTML Editor) and enter the URL to the folder you uploaded the CGI Scripts to in the $SecureServer Variable. If you uploaded the CGI Scripts to your cgi-bin, then you'd set the following:

$SecureServer = "http://www.yourdomainname.com/cgi-bin";

DO NOT enter the CGI Script name, DO NOT enter a trailing slash. After setting the Variable refresh the Setup Routine's Page that asks you to enter your Username and Password. Unless you refresh the initial Setup Page, the Form's URL will not be updated to reflect your Variable value.
I cannot find the correct path to my WebSpace or the required Data Directories and/or Password file cannot be created.

You need to find that Path. Ask your host, or Download a copy of our free E-Vars CGI Script and install it on your server. CHMOD it to 755 then load it in your Web Browser which will print your Server's environment variables and other useful information. Determine your Server's Document_ROOT or Absolute Server Path to the folder your home page (index.html) resides in. You may need to append "/www" or "/httpdocs" to your Document_ROOT or Absolute Server Path to complete the path to your Writable WebSpace.

Once you've determined your Absolute Server Path, open [script]_key.cgi in Plain Text Editor (not a WYSIWYG Text Editor, nor a Rich HTML Editor) and set the $DefaultData Variable. For example:

$DefaultData = "/var/username/www/htdocs";

Finally, on some Server's it's necessary to CHMOD the folder just above your WebSpace to 777 granting permission to the CGI Script to create the Required Directories at WebSpace Level. In the example above, the "htdocs" folder would need to have it's permissions set to 777.
We offer a very reasonably priced Custom Installation Service. We'll Setup the CGI Script for you and send you the Log in details which you can update at your own leisure. If we cannot successfully Setup the CGI Script we will refund both the Installation fee and the purchase price of the CGI Script. To Order Custom Installation, please fill in our Secure Installation Order Form, entering your Server Information where prompted.

Installation - Windows Servers

[script] refers to the first portion of the name of the CGI Scripts you purchased.

Your Windows Server may not execute CGI scripts even if Perl is Supported. Many Server Administrators do not modify the Registry to accommodate Scripts with a .cgi extension. In this case, contact us for a copy PL Version.
Setting the Path to Perl. Your Server may or may not require the Path to Perl. It's highly likely you don't need it, and you can ignore this Step. However you may want to check with your Host if you can not load the Setup Script in your web Browser.

NB: if you do not you a Plain Text editor such as Windows NotePad or Mac Textedit (in Plain Text Mode), your Text/HTML editor will add extraneous code to the CGI Script when you save it which will result in a server 500 Error.
Upload all CGI Scripts to your cgi-bin or any cgi enabled directory. It is imperative that you upload (transfer) all CGI Scripts to your server in ASCII mode.

http://www.yourdomainname.com/cgi-bin/[script]_setup.cgi
Enter a Username and Password. This will be your Username and Password for the Administration Section. If the Setup Routine is successfully processed a link to the Administration Section will appear on the resulting page. Click the link to access the Administration Section with the Username and Password you just entered in the Setup Script.

Should you encounter any Permission problems during the Setup Routine, you need to contact your Host and request "Full Read/Write Permissions" be applied to at least one folder on your Server. Many Servers have at least one writable folder, often named "database". See Common Installation Problems below for more information.

Common Installation Problems - Windows Servers

NB: Shared Secure Servers, VPS, SBOX and Free Servers.

Server 500 Errors are usually misleading on Windows Servers. It seems to be the default error page for just about every error.

You need to find that Path. Ask your host, or Download a copy of our free E-Vars CGI Script and install it on your server. You will need to rename the E-Vars CGI Script to "myserver.pl" if your Server only executes Scripts with .pl extensions. Upload it to your cgi-bin or any cgi executable folder then load it in your Web Browser which will print your Server's environment variables and other useful information. Determine your Server's Document_ROOT or Absolute Server Path to the folder your home page (index.html) resides in. You may need to append "\\www" or "\\httpdocs" to your Document_ROOT or Absolute Server Path to complete the path to your Writable WebSpace.

Once you've determined your Absolute Server Path, open [script]_key.cgi in Plain Text Editor (not a WYSIWYG Text Editor, nor a Rich HTML Editor) and set the $DefaultData Variable. Be sure to separate folder names with two backslashes, not one slash. For example:

$DefaultData = "C:\\html\\username\\htdocs";

Getting Started

Once you've installed Website Manager, the first thing you should do is click "Build Tree now". This will spider your entire Web site. If no directory are added to the list, the script has probably resolved an incorrect path. You can enter the correct path by clicking on "Settings" in the Control Panel. Go to the Settings page and enter your preferences. Take your time configuring the script to best suit your needs. Click on each of the gray colored links for instant info on each option. Click on "Web pages" in the Control Panel to go back to the start page. Select or type in a directory name (the full absolute path to the desired directory) then press the red arrow image. If you select a directory, there is no need to press the image. You should now see a list of files and folders within the selected directory. If you don't, you either entered an incorrect absolute path or the correct absolute path cannot be resolved. Contact us for help identifying the correct absolute path.

Managing Users

If you purchased a Multiple User license, Website Manager supports additional administrators, each of whom have their own rights and privileges. To add new Users, simply type in an e-mail address, username and password (all required) then press the button labelled "Add new". The page will refresh and you'll see a list similar to that in the following image.

To edit the new User's rights and privileges, click on the Green Active link which will either be displayed as Yes or No. Yes indicates the User has access, No means the User's access is currently suspended and they will not be able to log in to manage pages. When you're in Edit mode, you'll see the following options.

The first 3 fields, Email, Username and Password are always required. They must have values. The next two fields, will appear when the current User is editing their own profile. They allow the User to select which folder's contents will appear upon log in.

File Settings govern which file types are treated as WYSIWYG editable files. Add the keyword "default" without quotes and in lowercase to have the WYSIWYG editor display by default when creating new web pages or zones. These Settings will also appear when a User logs in to edit their own profile.

The privileges fieldset only appears if the User is a Top level or Subordinate Administrator. Click on the Gray colored links for more information about each of the assignable rights. It's important to note that directory paths should be Absolute, but Zone files should only include the names of the files without a path. In either field you can use the keyword "ALL" without quotes and in UPPER CASE to grant access to either all directories, or all zone files within the User's Zone directory. Any zones created by the User will also be accessible. DO NOT check the Subordinate level admin checkbox unless you want to allow the User access to all User Profiles, all Directories and files and everything except the Settings Page.

The User Profile fields will appear when a User logs in to edit their own profile. You can add extra fields to this area if you log in as Top Level Admin and click on Settings. When on the Settings page, scroll down to "User Profile Fields" and enter the form field names as you'd like them to appear on the Profile Edit Form. These fields can also be used in your Public Sign up Form.

Saving files

To save a file, click the last button in the Toolbar (the floppy disk). This will produce a drop down menu asking you to enter a name and directory path for the file.

When editing existing files the fields will be pre-populated. If you change the name of the file in the file field, it will create a new file and leave the original file unchanged. If you leave the file name unchanged, it will overwrite the file.

When creating new files, the directory field will be pre-populated with your Start up directory. This path can be changed so that the file is saved in the desired directory. You'll need to then enter a name for the file.

Zones

Zones are designated areas within a web page. They serve a double purpose. 1) You can create zones and then grant selected users access to those areas and 2) they act as Server Side Includes which means you can update multiple pages by editing one zone. See this page for a detailed explanation on SSI.

Designated Areas

To create a Designated Area, you should first create a Zone by clicking on Create Zone in the Control Panel. When saving Zones (as a regular User), the directory path is set to the folder you have specified in the User's Settings. When saving Zones as an Administrator you specify which folder the Zone should be saved in by selecting a User from the Select menu that appears. In all cases, the name of the Zone file SHOULD NOT be changed once created (and inserted). To save the Zone, click on the last button in the Toolbar.

To create a Zone for a User

Click on Create Zone in the Control Panel.
Add the content for the Zone.
Click the last button in the Toolbar to Save the new Zone.
Select the directory belonging to the User from the select menu.
Enter a file name (this can be anything and should inlcude an extension that belongs in the User's list of WYSIWYG files so they can edit the file using the WYSYWIG editor)
Click Save.

Once you've created the zone, you can then include that zone (using a special tag) in as many pages as you like.

To include the zone in a web page

Create a new page (Create Page) or edit an existing Page.
While working on Web Pages (as opposed to Zones), you'll see a drop down select menu with "Insert Zone" as the first option. This menu contains all existing accessible Zones.
Make sure the Zone tags are visible. You do this by clicking on blue Zone icon near the end of the Toolbar. It alternates between Visible and Invisible mode.
Next, place the cursor in the position on the page where the Zone should be inserted, then select the desired zone from the drop down select menu.

The last step above will insert an SSI tag that looks something like :



If the keyword "ALL" in uppercase and without quotes is specified in the "Zoned files" setting of the Users Profile, the User will then be able to edit that Zone by clicking on Zones in the Control Panel and selecting a Zone. They will also have access to any Zones they create.

When should the "ALL" keyword be used?

If each user in the system has their own directory for Zones (e.g. if you're using this script on a dedicated server), you should allow Users access to all files in their Zone directory. If however, your Users are all part of the same team working on the same Website and all Zones (include files) are in the same directory, you should then specify which zones each user has access to.

Server Side Includes

Zones are better know to webmasters as Server Side Includes. As the name implies, a file is included within another file on the server side. This means that any of your web pages that have the same Zone or SSI tags are all updated when the file the tag is pointing to is updated. Ideal for navigational menus, header, footer, copyright messages or any information that remains constant across multiple pages and is regularly updated. Correcting a broken link or spelling error on 200 pages is not an enjoyable task.

N.B. If using the WYSIWYG editors at all, your Zones should be either complete Tables or use no Tables at all. That is, you cannot split a Table tag down the middle and use half in one (header) Zone and the other half in another (footer) Zone. This is because the WYSIWYG editor will close your Table tags for you and upset the desired flow of a page.
