Unzip the files in to the root
directory of your domain.
Edit the file: /includes/tng/tNG_config.inc.asp (starting at line 14):
tNG_email_host = "mail.yourdomain.com" -
This should be "mail.yourdomain.com",
where yourdomain.com is the domain
that hosts the site.
tNG_email_user = "admin@yourdomain.com" -
This is the email that your CDOSYS
email can be sent from
tNG_email_port = "25" -
Ususally port 25. If your mail port
is different, your hosting company
will advise you.
tNG_email_password = "yourpassword" -
This is the email password that
your CDOSYS email can be sent from.
tNG_email_defaultFrom = "admin@yourdomain.com" -
This is the email address that is
stated in the header of outgoing
emails.
Note: The initial login
settings are:- username: Admin password: admin
Login to the Administration
Area (by logging
in as the Administrator in
the members section and visiting www.yourdomain.com/_admin/admin.asp [Admin
Users will automatically
be redirected to the Administration
Area when they login through
the front-end site])
and go to the Config settings
page.
Change the values in this page
to match your server and email
settings.
Set the following folder permissions to READ/WRITE ONLY (i.e. no execute):
\yourdomain\images
\yourdomain\property_images
Note: The above two folders must have READ/WRITE permissions to upload files. Although it is not essential for the running of the site to set them to NO EXECUTE as well, it is recommended to add the NO EXECUTE setting, for improved security from "would be" hackers.
At the top of all the front-end
pages is the header file
(an include file), that displays
the site name and/or site logo.
This file is called "_inc_header.asp" in
the root directory .
You can easily change the text
(currently it says "Your
Polaris Holiday Rentals Site")
or add a logo here, by editing
the file
_inc_header.asp from
within Dreamweaver or another HTML
editor.
The site footer is controlled
by the include file "_inc_footer.asp"
in the root directory. You can
add more text, or just change the
site name copyright to your own.
Note:- the copyright
dates are
set to start from year 2006 and
display the current year if it
is past 2006 (i.e. 2006
- 2007 if it is currently
the year 2007). This text is automated,
saving you from updating this part
every year, to keep your site footer
copyright up to date.
The Google Adsense code is controlled
by an include file called "_inc_adsense.asp" in
the root directory. You just need
change the Adsense Client Id code
from pub-7156310428119250 to your
own Google Adsense Id code.
The ads are set to display at 160
x 600 pixels, as these dimensions
fit well in the page layout, but
may be changed to other adverts
if necessary.
You can also change the style of
the Google ads, to your own preferred
format if you like (i.e. the colours
and number of ads shown etc.) through
your Google Adsense login panel
and the display choices offered.
A
Note on Include Files:- Include
files must contain no HEAD/HTML/BODY
tags (e.g. <HEAD>, </HEAD>, <HTML>, </HTML>, <BODY>, </BODY>),
or tags such as <% @LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %> (as
the main page they are included in
will write these in to the processed
file.
Left and top menu links are controlled by styles in the file "menu_left.css". The file "main_content.css" contains most of the other styles, while "bg.css" controls the background gradient image currently used as the page background (the background image/css file is not used in the Administration area, only the front-end pages).
