    Ok ^^

    JK, why are you busy on MSN? I need help with cute news installation..~_~;
     
    I'm not on that computer... I'm on a different one. XD
     
    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?
     
    *splits for OT*

    What FTP client you using?
     
    Ummm...none?

    I just use the normal 'upload' thing.

    Should've started a new thread...sorry
     
    No problem...

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

    Okay, welcome back after the commercials.

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

    I uploaded CuteNews to "https://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.
    Welcome to Cute News v1.3.6 installer

    This wizard will guide you through all installation steps and will help you configure the script
    Click to expand...

    Click the button "Proceed Installation"

    A new page should pop up with something looking similar to this.
    Checking File and Folder Permissions

    statistic for important files that must be CHMOD'ed and writable


    File / Folder Current CHMOD value Status
    /home/jesse/public_html/fun/cutenews/data/ 755 Writable
    /home/jesse/public_html/fun/cutenews/data/archives 755 Writable
    /home/jesse/public_html/fun/cutenews/data/backup 755 Writable
    /home/jesse/public_html/fun/cutenews/data/upimages 755 Writable
    /home/jesse/public_html/fun/cutenews/data/cat.num.php 644 Writable

    /home/jesse/public_html/fun/cutenews/data/news.txt 644 Writable
    /home/jesse/public_html/fun/cutenews/data/users.db.php 644 Writable
    Click to expand...

    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: https://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.
    CuteNews was successfully installed.

    Any questions, feel free to reply.
     
    hmm. Nice little tutorial there :)
     
    Hmm... thanks. Hopefully people understand it. o_o
     
    I linked to a good one, I suggest it highly.

    (And err, I can help you get past the 30 day limit)
     
    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!
     
    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?
     
    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"); ?>
     
    RoboMechaWobbuffet, put your enter sign in the middle of the page using <body topmargin="?">. I think it would make the page look better :)
