Easy setup wizard The software is very easy to install and configure even for just beginners. No need to be programmer or professional to run or manage the software on your server, all you need is the general internet stuff, like how to use any ftp program to transfer files, how to change files permissions, very little html to customize the templates or links to your look and feel. Just transfer the files to your server, change permissions and you are done with the installation. The software has built in setup and configuration wizard that will check and create directories, permissions, SQL tables and more.
Very customizable The first thing you must search in any software is how far is it customizable. Whatever its function if it is not 100% customizable then it looses at least 80% of its value. This software is very customizable. There is not single byte that is not customizable. Lets explain this shortly The software uses html templates for the body of the pages that generated. Inside these html templates are the output of the cgi programs and the text itself. Now the software is multi-lingual, which means the same text should be in different languages and this is done by inserting language variables inside the templates between "[[" and "]]", for example a field form that has text label "Please enter your first name" this has assigned a variable name for example first_name, to insert this label in the template just insert it like this [[first_name]]. When the surfer selects specific language this variable will be translated from the language selected. This shows that you can move this language variable anywhere inside your template. The value of the language variables itself you change it from the language file, so you edit it to anything you want. Second, the cgi programs output is inserted inside these html templates in two methods. The first method is by using Plugins between comments like this , this will draw an input text box for the surfer to enter the website title. of course you move this Plugin anywhere inside your templates. The second method is using what we called it Classes in the form or , this will draw a search box and its width is 40 characters, the search box form itself is customized and has its own template, you can change the box with by changing the number 40 to anything. So basically everything the program prints out is customizable and you have full control over the look and feel. You can use any WYSWYG html editor like Frontpage 2000 or else to edit the templates. The admin center has built in html template editor online and Visual html editor integrated. All the program text is inside the language files which are plain text files that you can edit directly using any text editor like notepad or using the software admin center in the language manager. To see how easy you can edit or translate the text to any other language, please go to our admin demo, click on Language Manager, ten under "Edit Language", select any file and click Edit. Basically you do not need any programming experience to customize the look and feel of the software to anything you want, all you need is some experience with html or using any visual html editor.
