SquawkBox
Installation Instructions
The first thing you need to do is upload msgs.txt to
the folder on your site where SquawkBox will be installed. Once it's uploaded,
CHMOD the file to allow write access to the file from the script. I believe
it's 777 but I could be wrong. :)
Now open squawk.php. Underneath the lines commented with "#"
you'll see all the settings. Most of the settings have explanations for them,
the ones that don't should be self-explanatory. Now save the file and upload
it to the same place you uploaded msgs.txt.
Now open the page you want to have SquawkBox displayed, find the place in the
code you want it displayed, and put the code below into it. The text in red
needs to be changed to the FULL URL to squawk.php. Feel free to change the IFRAME
properties below to your liking.
<IFRAME name="SquawkBox" HEIGHT="300" WIDTH="200"
SRC="http://www.nukedweb.com/phpscripts/squawk.php"
frameborder="1" framespacing="0" scrolling="auto"
leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0" marginwidth="2"
marginheight="2"></IFRAME>
Now upload the page you just put this code into. Hurry up and go post your first
message. It looks kinda weird without any posts on it. ;)
Now that
it's working, youcan set up your web browser with the admin function. You should
have changed the password in the configuration to something you'll remember,
although since this password will be set as a cookie, you won't really need
to remember it except this one time. ;) Access squawk.php through
your browser and add the following line at the end: ?setcookie=yourpass
where yourpass is the password you put in the configuration. When it's
confirmed that the cookie was set, you can go back to the page that SquawkBox
is on, and you'll see an [X] before each post. Click it to remove it :)
