WebPen

Requirements -

PHP 4.0 or greater with GD library installed.
Installation -

Note:
Toucan Multimedia offers free installation of this software. To request the free installation service, contact support@toucanmultimedia.com. It will be necessary to provide support the FTP and Mysql logins to your server. Allow a week for free installation.

Self Installation:
Unzip the downloaded files and upload these two files to your web server: "webpen.jar" and " sigproc.php". These two files must be in the same directory that contains the web page with the document to be signed. Also upload the empty folder named "documents" to this same directory and ensure that this folder has write permission on your server (contact your server administrator if you do not know how to do this).

Add these two lines immediately above the first line of the HTML code that displays your online document:

<?php
$document = '

Add these three lines immediately below the last line of the HTML code that displays your online document (the first line of the three is a single quote followed by a semicolon):

';
echo $document;
?>

Then copy the code snippet contained in the file " signbox.txt" to your web page immediately below the above three lines. This bit of html code can be customized using CSS styles, but the dimensions of the sign box need to remain unchanged.

Replace Any apostrophes or single quotes in the HTML that displays your online document with the corresponding ASCII codes:
Replace ´ with: ´
Replace ' with: '
For example, in the html code you would write "here's an example" as "here´s an example".

Save the web page with an extension of .php instead of .htm or .html on your server. For example: onlinedocument.php.

Open the "displaydoc.php" with a text or html editor. Edit the html code enclosed in the slash marks (toward the middle of the page) so that the appearance of the signature matches the rest of the document. Upload this file to the same directory on your server as the page containing your online document.

That's all there is to it!
Use -

When a document is signed using SignOnline, a copy of the signature, and a copy of the online document are stored in a subfolder with a name composed of the signer's name and the server time at the time of the signing entered by the signer, in the "documents" folder.

Uses the Java runtime environment in the browser.

EditOnline

Requirements -

PHP 5+ with bundled GD library for full operation.

PHP 4.3+ with GD library for limited operation (the Brightness, Contrast, and Blur functions will only work under PHP 5+).

If your server is not currently running PHP 5, ask your hosting provider to install it. Most hosting providers are willing to do this.
Installation -

Note:
Toucan Multimedia offers free installation of this software. To request the free installation service, contact support@toucanmultimedia.com. It will be necessary to provide support the FTP and Mysql logins to your server. Allow a week for free installation.

Self Installation:
Unzip the downloaded file. It contains a folder named "editonline" .
Upload this folder along with its contents to a directory on your webserver and link to " editonline.php" which is one of the files in the folder.

Make sure that two of the folders contained in the editonline folder, "images" and "undo" have write permissions on your server (contact your server administrator if you do not know how to do this). Thats all there is to it!
Use -

The upload of very large images such as those produced by high megapixel digital cameras may fail. This is due to the limits imposed by the PHP installation on your server. It may be necessary to contact your hosting provider and request that the default PHP settings be changed to allow for larger uploaded file sizes. Usually images of up to 2 megabytes can be uploaded without problem.

CONTACTUS

Requirements -

PHP 3+
Installation -

Unzip the downloaded file and copy the "contactus.html" and " sender.php" files both to the same directory on your server. Link to "contactus.html". Add the receiving email address (your address) and a second receiving (cc) address (optional) at the top of the " sender.php" file. Customize the "Success" message at the top of this file also if desired. Customize "contactus.html" and the section of " sender.php" that displays the success message to match the appearance of your website using standard HTML and CSS techniques. That's all there is to it!
Use -

In rare cases it may be necessary to ask your hosting provider or server administrator to enable PHP to send mail.

WebLines

Requirements:

PHP 4 or higher.

Installation:

Unzip the downloaded file. Upload weblines.php (or trialweblines.php) to the same directory on your server as the page that will display the newsfeed. Change the extension of the web page where the news will appear to " .php " if it isn't already. Don't worry, this will not affect how the page displays, but you may need to change the hyperlinks that link to it. Add the following line of code to the page in the location in the HTML code where you want the newsfeed to display:

<?php include "weblines.php"; ?>

Note: By default, WebLines is set to display the RSS channel name and information, The item title, and the item description. It is configured to display all items in the RSS feed. It is likely that you will want to change some of these settings. This is very easy to do: Just open weblines.php using Notepad or another plain text editor. Look for instructions at the top of the page for how to change the settings. After you make the desired changes, save as type "All Files" as weblines.php then upload to your server. You will probably also want to customize the appearance of the RSS feed to match the appearance of your web page. Do this by creating CSS styles either in the same document or a separate stylesheet with the following names:

.channelname
.channeldescription
.itemtitle
.itemdescription

To give you an example, the following style sheet and code is used to produce the news feed display on the home page of this website, including the nifty SCROLLBAR:

These styles go in between the <head></head> tags or in a separate stylesheet.

<style type="text/css">

</style>

This is the page code.

<div align="right" style=" position:relative; left: 15px; overflow:auto; width:150px; height:280px; border:thin; border-color:#0000FF; border-style:ridge; background-color: #FFFF00; background-image:none; float:right; scrollbar-base-color: #0000FF; scrollbar-arrow-color: #FFF000; scrollbar-track-color: #FFF000" />
<?php
include "weblines/weblines.php";
?>
</div>

A SCROLLING DISPLAY can also be used. To make the newsfeed display scroll, you would encase it in marquee tags like this:

<marquee height="220" width="225" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()" direction="up" scrollamount="2">
<?php
include "weblines/weblines.php";
?>
</marquee>

Be aware that some browsers do not support the <marquee> tag. In these browsers the display will be static.

Magic Blog

Requirements -

PHP 4.2 or higher
Mysql 4 or higher
Installation -

Note:
Toucan Multimedia offers free installation of this software. To request the free installation service, contact support@toucanmultimedia.com. It will be necessary to provide support the FTP and Mysql logins to your server. Allow a week for free installation.

Self Installation:
1. Unzip the magicblog.zip zipfile.

2. Open the MagicBlog folder

3. Open the file named "config.inc.php" with a plain text editor such as Notepad (do not use Word). Follow the instructions in the comments to configure each of the items including the Username and Password for your Mysql server, the administrator password, the number of posts allowed per user per session, the "number of posts exceeded" message, the number of characters allowed per post, the list of banned language, and URL for the "Webmaster" link. The username and password for Mysql may be the same as you use for FTP access to your server, or you may need to get them from your server administrator. Save the file with a php extension as "all files".

4. Open the file named "createdb.php" with the text editor and configure the Mysql username and password in this file also.

5. Modify the CSS styles in the HTML header tags near the top of "magicblog.php" as desired. Note
that the "TEXTAREA bgcolor" must be the same as the "DIV bgcolor" to maintain the correct appearance of the blog. There is a tutorial on CSS here if you are unfamiliar with how to modify the CSS styles.

6. Add graphics or change the text at the top of "magicblog.php" as desired. Make changes to the HTML of magicblog.php as desired, but be sure to keep a copy of the original in case the changes don't work properly.

7. Upload the MagicBlog folder to the root directory of your server.

8. Navigate to the file called "createdb.php" in the MagicBlog folder on your website. If you uploaded it to the root directory, you would probably access it using something like:
yourwebsitesiteURL.com/MagicBlog/createdb.php This file will attempt to create the database for MagicBlog on your Mysql server.

On many installations of Mysql, particularly those on shared hosting, this will not succeed, and you will see a failure message. In this case it will be necessary to create the database manually. There is a Mysql tutorial here that will explain how to do this. If the database you create is named anything other than "mb", be sure to configure the name of the database in " config.inc.php". The database table must be named "posts" and be structured as follows:

Table structure for table `posts`

CREATE TABLE posts (
pnum int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
post text,
`date` timestamp NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (pnum)
) ;

Your server administrator or hosting provider should be willing to create this database and table for you or help you do it.

9. Link to Magic Blog using the URL relative to your root directory of MagicBlog/magicblog.php.

10. If you want to change the name of magicblog.php to something else, it is necessary to change the filename in line 22 of adminlogin.php.

11. If you wish to change the minimum number of words required in a post from the default of 5, change the number in line 18 of addpost.php to 1 less than the desired minimum number.

Test the Magic Blog. If there are any problems, do not hesitate to contact Toucan Multimedia Support
