It is not necessary to edit config.php until you have got your tagboard working however the variables that can be edited in config.php each have comments by them explaining their purpose.


2)  Upload

Upload all the files required (see above) into a directory preferably called "tagboard" so your link to tag.php would be www.yourdomain.com/tagboard/tag.php

3)  Editing your htmlcode.dat

If you have chosen to use a directory called "tagboard" or "board" and you are going to have your tagboard on your homepage then you have to edit a few things in your htmlcode.dat file (edits shown in red):

<link rel="stylesheet" href="tagboard/stylesheet.php" type="text/css">

and

<iframe name="tag" border="0" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="200" align="center" src="tagboard/display.php" target="_blank"></iframe>

and

<form method="POST" action="tagboard/tag.php" target="tag" name="tagboard">

and finally

<input type="button" class="xtra" value="Xtras" OnClick="tagboard/popUp('insert.php')">


4)  Linking to htmlcode.dat!

a)  How to create a link within a PHP Page (.php, .php3, .php4)

To create the INSERT using PHP use this code:

<? include("tagboard/htmlcode.dat"); ?>

NOTE: You may need to change the path to htmlcode.dat (to be certain you could enter the full path!)

b)  How to create a link within an html Page (html, htm)

To create the INSERT using html simple copy and paste the code found inside htmlcode.dat INTO YOUR PAGE!

Paste htmlcode.dat anywhere in your html page


Once you have added the code to the page, upload the page!
