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. |
