feel free to sent me the update version, Thanks.
Question should be posted at our CGI Forum
http://kingrichard.hypermart.net/lounge/cgi/
First edit your newsupdater.cgi
make sure the first line directed to your perl directory
Also edit the line as explained below
#Your cgi directory without the "/" at the end
#This is your CGI-BIN directory, leave the $datadir alone
$cgidir = "/data1/hypermart.net/kingrichard/cgi-bin/freenews";
$datadir = "$cgidir/data";
#Your server local standard time
#Your server standard time which depend on the area your server post the news
#E,g. Pasific Standard Time (PST)
$standard_time = "PST";
# Your home url
# This is your home url, must start with http://
$home_url = "http://kingrichard.hypermart.net";
# Your members Author and E-mail list
# Add as much members to your list make sure it wrote like the two example below seperate author and email using "|"
@email_data = ('King Richard|webmaster@kingrichard.hypermart.net','John Doe|jdoe@somewhere.com');
# WebMaster name
$webmaster_name = "King Richard";
# WebMaster E-mail
# Make sure u have the \@ intact or the script will create and error
$webmaster_mail = "webmaster\@kingrichard.hypermart.net";
# Current Headline link to the main news page (SSI) do not delete the "\#"
# This is where headline page must search the link to the news page
$HEADLINE_FILE_LINK = "$home_url/news.html\#";
# Top Headline link to the main top or news page (SSI) do not delete the "\#"
# This is where headline page must search the link to the top or news page
$HEADLINE_TOP_LINK = "$home_url/news.html\#";
# HTML setup (self explainatory)
# background color of your news page (for preview and demo)
$back_ground = "black";
# Header fonts f=face c=color s=size
$font_f_header = "arial";
$font_c_header = "blue";
$font_s_header = "2";
# Text fonts f=face c=color s=size
$font_f_text = "arial";
$font_c_text = "white";
$font_s_text = "-1";
# Time fonts f=face c=color s=size
$font_f_time = "arial";
$font_c_time = "red";
$font_s_time = "3";
# referers site to avoid people submitting news other place
# your protection from hacker a like
@referers = ('http://kingrichard.hypermart.net');
# How many days do you want the news to be listed (default is four days)
$NUMBER_OF_ARCHIVES = 3;
# Turn the headline On or Off
$headline_on = "1"; # On="1" Off="0"

Second, upload all files include in this zip files to /cgi-bin
created /cgi-bin/data CHMOD to 777
cgi-bin |-----------------data 777-|
| |autolink.txt 666
|
|newsupdater.cgi 755
|scripts.txt 666
|jml.pl 666
###########################################################################
Then create the HTML page like this and called it index.shtml (SSI):
P.S. Headline must be set "On" otherwise u will encounter error.
News
Alternative index.shtml (Headline set "Off")
News
###########################################################################
You could also create archive page called archive.shtml (SSI):
Archive
###########################################################################
What does AUTOLINK do? so when you activated the autolink
then it should search your database. If it found it then it will
post a link automatically.
For Example: you type "King Richard Scripts" then it will post this
King Richard Scripts
AUTOLINK.TXT can be added or deleted depend on what you need
Link Name::the url::
example:
King Richard Scripts::http://kingrichard.hypermart.net::
###########################################################################
Important!!
Announcement must be edited or reset them manually.
Announcement will not go to the archive.
Why? cause it is announcement and I don't see why it should go to
the archive :)
###########################################################################
There are so many way you could set the news display,
so have fun and hope that this new version give your website a better look.
Should you use the script please let me know cause I'm planning to put everyone
to my client profile.
That all folks have funs.
Make sure u check this site up cause much script to come in 1999
regards,
King Richard
