Instructions on Using Admin Functions on Classifieds Script By BECANADA
UPGRADE NOTICE:
If you ALREADY have the script installed and you are upgrading or want to, please go here FIRST to download the upgrade files.
New in Version 3.1
Version 3.1 allows you to BLOCK up to 10 domains from posting at your free site.
We also have a micro upgrade for all free version users to allow unlimited blocks [website, email and keyword/phrases], including online control panel to admin these "blocks" AND an online interface to instantly admin the databases for each category too- click here to learn more about these upgrades.
To block up to 10 domains, upload "block.txt" file to the SAME folder where the classifieds.cgi file [you must be using 3.1 version]. Enter one website domain PER LINE - no spaces - up to 10 entries. Re-upload the "block.txt" to your server in ASCII mode. You may have to chmod it to 666. Now when people post ads, a check will be performed to BLOCK unwanted users.

Tech Notes:
Upon install of this script and running it for the first time, it will create a number of files in the directory it is install at. We suggest putting it in the CGI-BIN at your domain. Permissions on the CGI 'classifieds.cgi' script must be set to 755. The directory you place this script in may also require setting to 755 [to allow data file to be created and read and written to]. All data files and script will be in the same directory. You can only upload the CGI script "classifieds.cgi" via FTP [WS-FTP or CUTEFTP or similar program only] - DO NOT use FRONTPAGE. Also, you must upload in ASCII not binary... detailed info on install only will be contained in the README file that accompanies this script in the ZIP FILE.
Features of this Classifieds Script:
For features of this script go the the classifieds "homepage" ["return to classifieds"], and click on the INFO links under "Ad Readers", "Advertisers" and "Webmasters".
Webmasters Information for Admin functions:
Some setting MUST be set immediately upon running the script for the first time . These will be denoted by a "*". Failure to set these may result in certain parts of the script NOT working. Note, that a section of default categories will automatically install on the FIRST run of this program only.
IMPORTANT:
Your DEFAULT ADMIN password will be located in the README file, in the ZIP
file you get when downloading the software.
