Ok ^^

JK, why are you busy on MSN? I need help with cute news installation..~_~;

aRedMoon August 25th, 2004 10:41 AM

I'm not on that computer... I'm on a different one. XD

pokejungle August 25th, 2004 10:48 AM

Oh...

How exactly should I put cute news on my website. the mentions CHMOD but i have no clue what that means, and they also want me to do something with 777...no clue about that either...help?

aRedMoon August 25th, 2004 10:50 AM

*splits for OT*

What FTP client you using?

pokejungle August 25th, 2004 10:56 AM

Ummm...none?

I just use the normal 'upload' thing.

Should've started a new thread...sorry

aRedMoon August 25th, 2004 10:58 AM

No problem...

Gyah... can you take a screenshot of your File manager?

Morkula August 25th, 2004 10:59 AM

I was going to start a thread just like this... :)

I'm using BlazeFTP, and I can't figure out what the heck to do with installing CuteNews.

aRedMoon August 25th, 2004 11:01 AM

Okay, upload the entire directory to yoursite.com/whatever/cutenews

Then... wait while I go to install CuteNews elsewhere so I can do a step by step thing. XD

PichuSecretBase August 25th, 2004 11:03 AM

Most File Managers don't support Chmodding so you would use FTP

@RoboMecha- Try Rightclicking on a file that is uploaded and see if it says permissions or chmod and that will help you once Jkaizer tells you how to install (I'm clueless, I just know where the thing is =P)

pokejungle August 25th, 2004 11:07 AM

Umm how do you take a screenshot? I used to know the buttons, but I've forgotten...sorry

EDIT: I do get permissions option on cutenews zip file

aRedMoon August 25th, 2004 11:08 AM

Tutorial Time!

*intro music*

Download CuteNews from the website to your harddrive. Then, unzip it with WinZip or WinRAR. (Go to download.com if you don't have either and download the trial version of WinRAR)

Then, if you don't have an FTP client, download FlashFXP and install it. Simple enough, ne?

Open up FlashXP (I'm assuming here that you know the FTP details. If you don't, ask your host. If your host doesn't have it, then get a new one) and enter in your FTP details, and connect to your site.

Upload the "cutenews" directory (What you unzipped) to yoursite.com/cutenews

And now it's time for a commercial break while JKaizer does just that.

aRedMoon August 25th, 2004 11:20 AM

Okay, welcome back after the commercials.

Cutenews should be uploaded now, eh? So now it's time to install it!

I uploaded CuteNews to "http://www.pokevillage.net/fun/cutenews" so that's the URL I'll be using.

Go to pokevillage.net/fun/cutenews (replace that with your own site) and a page should pop-up.

Click the button "Proceed Installation"

A new page should pop up with something looking similar to this.

If any of them don't say "Writable", then you have a few problems. You need to CHMOD the files. This is easy in FlashFXP. Just click on the file so that it's highlighted and the hit CTRL+O.

In the box Permissions, replace the current number with "777" and hit okay. Do that for any files that aren't writeable.


When you've done that, hit "Proceed Installation"

Full URL to Cute News directory: http://www.pokevillage.net/fun/cutenews
^ Where your cutenews directory is located.

Then fill in the rest to whatever you want.


After that, hit "Proceed INstallation" and this should pop up.

STaLIS August 25th, 2004 11:23 AM

hmm. Nice little tutorial there :)

aRedMoon August 25th, 2004 11:23 AM

Hmm... thanks. Hopefully people understand it. o_o

pokejungle August 25th, 2004 11:25 AM

I'm going to need a client...what do you think of tucows?

aRedMoon August 25th, 2004 11:31 AM

I linked to a good one, I suggest it highly.

(And err, I can help you get past the 30 day limit)

pokejungle August 25th, 2004 11:39 AM

oooo...that would be helpful! ^^

I will be back on later, but I seriously need to peel myself away from the comp..bad for my health!

Morkula August 25th, 2004 7:45 PM

JK, *raises hand* I have a question. What if I already have a php script on my site (to keep it dynamic). How would I keep the news from showing up on every page?

aRedMoon August 25th, 2004 8:01 PM

Put it on the main page... such as index.php instaed of hte layout pages.

Code:

<?php include("layout1.php"); ?>
<?php include("cutenews/news.txt"); // I think that's the file you link to - change it if I'm wrong ?>
<?php include("layout2.php"); ?>



STaLIS August 25th, 2004 11:14 PM

RoboMechaWobbuffet, put your enter sign in the middle of the page using <body topmargin="?">. I think it would make the page look better :)

pokejungle August 26th, 2004 6:00 AM

It isn't connecting to my site....I don't know what's wrong! I filled out the quick connect thing right..I think/.....

aRedMoon August 26th, 2004 6:09 AM

Make sure you got exactly right, one typo messes it all up. =/

pokejungle August 26th, 2004 7:14 AM

Guess what?? I didn't need FTP! I didn't even use it....

OK, I've installed it and everything, but it won't let me access http://pokejungle.shyper.com/cutenews/cutenews/data/news.txt

What am I doing wrong? It is set on 777

aRedMoon August 26th, 2004 7:19 AM

That may not be the right URL. I just took a guess. =/

pokejungle August 26th, 2004 7:31 AM

it wasn't it was like show_news.php ^_^

I got it working though ^^, after two hours -_-

I had uploaded it wrong, then I found that I had the whole directory already there, from when I had uploaded it before, then unzipped it, but hadn't realized it had worked. thats why it was cutenews/cutenes/blah.blah
