 198                                 <p>Phpns is a software project, designed to ease the process of content management for websites. The intended purpose is to include, or "put" a dynamic news system into your website HTML code. With most content management systems, the CMS takes control of almost every aspect of your website, and customization of the "look" of the website calls for editing theme files, and skins. However, with phpns, you can design your website however you like, and phpns will squeeze into your design, wherever you like, with one line of code in your HTML. This method of "including a dynamic news system" eases your job, and doesn't require you to mess with tedious website templates [albeit phpns does have a certain kind of templates] and theme files.</p>

 217                                                 <p>This installation step is where you need to enter all important data for phpns to function. Please complete the following:
 218                                                 <ul>
 219                                                         <li>database information: mysql host, mysql user, mysql user password, database name, and optionally a table prefix.</li>
 220                                                         <li>administrator information: your desired username and password.</li>
 221                                                 </ul>
 222
 223                                                 <p>In the "Advanced" drop-down, you have several options regarding the database.</p>
 224
 225                                                 <ul>

 227                                                         <li>Existing DB: Phpns will NOT add, erase, or overwrite any data in the database. This is an ideal option if you are reinstalling the phpns package, without needing to touch the database.</li>
 228                                                         <li>Overwrite DB: Phpns will delete all current tables in the database (having to do with phpns, this will not touch unrelated tables) and recreate them. This is ideal for corrupted phpns tables.</li>

This message should inform you that phpns has successfully created the tables for phpns, and you will need to CHMOD  the file <code>/inc/config.php</code> so phpns can write important information to the database file.</p>
 237                                                 <p>Once you have completed the instructions (or expect that the file permissions are already set correctly), click "Continue" near the bottom of the page.</p>

 243                                                 <p>In the event of an error (probably because <code>/inc/config.php</code> didn't have proper write permissions), phpns will give you the intended contents of the file in a text area. You can do one of two things:</p>
 244
 245                                                 <ol>
 246                                                         <li>Try to correct the permissions for the <code>/inc/config.php</code> file and refresh the page, or</li>
 247                                                         <li>Copy and paste the intended file contents into the <code>/inc/config.php</code>, save, and upload. <strong>If using this method, you do not need to refresh the installation page.</strong></li>

 249
 250                                                 <p>Assuming success, you can now <strong>Delete the entire <code>/install</code> directory</strong>, and return to your administration panel to login.

 257                                 <p>For the sake of this section of the guide, we can safely "split up" phpns into two different categories of functionality: presentation and administration. The administration-end is the bulk of the project, where you can create and manage articles, create categories, manage templates, create users (co-admins), ban users... etc etc. The presentation-end is what the average site visitor will see, the actual news, generated by the administration-end.</p>
 258                                 <p>Below, we're going to go deeper into the administration and presentation end of phpns. You can click on the listed items to get a more detailed description of each topic.</p>

 274                                         <p>While the administration-end of phpns is meant for the website admin, how will your viewers see the articles you have posted? This is where the presentation-end of phpns comes in, which will be held almost fully in the shownews.php file (/shownews.php).</p>
 275                                         <p>"shownews.php" is probably the most important file in the phpns software package, because it's the file that presents the articles you have created to the public. You will want to "include", or "put" the contents of shownews.php into any (PHP) file on your web server, to literally "inject" a news system into your current HTML template/design.</p>
 276                                         <p>Once again, the usage of shownews.php is used through an "include". Anywhere in your HTML design, as long as the file ends in .php, you can use <code>&lt;?php include("path/to/shownews.php"); ?&gt;</code> to fetch the phpns articles into your design. You can also use <a href="#pre_include_variables">pre-include variables</a> to customize how the articles are displayed. For an example of a phpns implementation, see: <a href="#example">example of use</a>.</p>

 494                                 <p>article management allows you to view the articles you have posted in different ways, orders, and with conditions. By default, articles are listed in a descending date order. That means, the latest article that has been created will be shown at the TOP of the news management table. Although this might suite you, sometimes you may require ordering in a different way, scroll down to sorting options.</p>

Expand the search section, and you're presented with 2 fields: your query, and category. Whatever text you enter in the query box (the box with the text 'click here to start your search'), is the text we'll search for in every active article to date. The system will scan the title, subtitle, main article, and full story for that query entered. You also have the option to narrow your search by category. By default, it will search in all categories.</p>

Sometimes, you don't want a user, or a group of users, to be able to post an article without being approved, or creating new users. Ranks can help you limit these users very easily.</p>

 759                                         <p>Freeze management is a feature in phpns to optimize your news when you are expecting, or are currently experiencing a traffic/visit burst from the internet. Sites like reddit.com, digg.com, and other social networking sites often send thousands of visitors to your websiite in the event of a feature on their respective front pages. Usually, when you have a few mySQL queries being executed for each visitor, your server will eventually slow down, and shut down if it's extreme enough.</p>
 760                                         <p>When you "freeze" a phpns instance (or shownews.php event), Phpns will create a static, HTML file of the current items on the phpns instance. That way, instead of executing SQL queries for each visitor, PHP will simply send a static HTML file to the user, saving a lot of processing power!</p>
