Using the Pre-Installed Scripts
| The H-Sphere system includes a number of pre-installed scripts. These can
be accessed under the "Web Options" section of your end user control panel.
Login to your End User CP and then click on "Web Options" to go to the Web
Services page. Then click the edit icon next to "Preinstalled Scripts." From
there you can turn on the following scripts and then follow the instructions to implement
| BBS
(forum) |
Its main
feature is that "it allows a user to post messages as well as post replies to
existing messages. WebBBS keeps track of which messages are posts and which ones are
replies and displays them in a hierarchical tree-like fashion. Posts that start new topics
are at the top of each tree, and the replies are shown indented beneath the original
posts. WebBBS is also fully integrated with the user authentication library discussed
above. Additionally, it allows a user to restrict the number of messages through a variety
of query mechanisms. The user can conduct a keyword search and display only those messages
that satisfy the search. The user can also select a range of dates within which the viewed
messages were posted. For example, a user could choose to see only messages posted between
6/1/96 and 6/10/96. In addition, the user can select a range of posts based on age in
days, and choose to see, for example, only those messages posted between two days ago and
four days ago." |
|
| COUNTER
|
If you use
WebShell version 4 or higher, you can use only its internal 'acd' counter instead of
BSCounter (if it's disabled). Otherwise you can use BSCounter with the following features
included: blocking multiple hits from the same user, insertion of commas, text-based or
graphical modes, support for multiple counters from the same script, and tracking users'
browsers, operating systems, and location. (requires SSI or GD.pm) |
|
| CHAT
|
WebChat is
a useful application that allows a number of people on the World Wide Web to talk to one
another simultaneously. The ability to chat on the Web can be a quick way to hold a
virtual meeting. |
|
| FORMMAIL
|
FormMail
is a generic WWW form to e-mail gateway, which will parse the results of any form and send
them to the specified user. This script has many formatting and operational options, most
of which can be specified through the form, meaning you don't need any programming
knowledge or multiple scripts for multiple forms. This also makes FormMail a perfect
system-wide solution for allowing users form-based user feedback capabilities without the
risks of allowing freedom of CGI access. |
|
| GUESTBOOK
|
Extropia's
WebGuestbook is "configurable so that you can specify what your guestbook file looks
like and how the script-generated responses are displayed. Most of the configuration takes
little more than a knowledge of HTML, so it is fairly easy to use. In addition, the user
can select a range of posts based on age in days, and choose to see." |
