Working with the WWWBoard script

Way2Host's WWWBoard script enables you to set up a message board on your site. If you use a message board in your site, you and your visitors can access the message board at:

http://www.domainname.com/wwwboard.

The Administration tool for managing your message board is located at:

http://www.domainname.com/cgi-bin/wwwadmin.pl.

SiteControl's WWWBoard Manager enables you to select from a number of options that you can use to customize and control the operation of the message board. You can select from the following options.

Options
Description
ShowFAQ
When selected (default), displays a link to an FAQ on every individual page. If you select this option, you need to create your FAQ (with a file name of faq.html) and place it in your /wwwboard directory.
AllowHTML
When selected, enables visitors to use HTML in their postings. If not selected, all text surrounded by "< >" tags in visitors' postings will be removed.
QuoteText
When selected, the previous message will be quoted in the follow-up text input box. The quoted text will have a colon ( : ) placed in front of it to make it easier for visitors to distinguish the previous posting from the current posting.
UseTime
When selected, the hour:minute:second time will be included along with the day/month/year time on the main page. Day/month/year are automatically placed on the main page when a new entry is added. This option is very useful on boards that receive a large number of postings. However, if space is an issue, you may want to disable this option.
SubjectLine
The value you set for this option controls the display of the subject line for the user posting a follow-up. You can specify one of three different values:

0 - Default. Places the previous subject link into the follow up form and enables users to edit the subject.
1 - Quotes the subject line but makes it "read only."
2 - Places an empty subject block in the follow-up subject line.
