News Publisher : Getting Started : Web Page Integration


One of our product uniqueness is we made our scripts capable to fit into your existing web design.

Before   After Integration

1. Create New PHP Page


Create a PHP page where you would like to publish your news and articles. Save the web page file with .php extension, such as news.php. You can put the file in any directory on the server.


2. Find the Document Path


To ensure that your News Publisher works regardless the location of the PHP page, you will need to add your server's Document Path to all the PHP include codes.

To find the Document Path, open the

/myadmin/config.php

file with your text editor, and note down the value for $path["docroot"]. Let's assume the Document Path is C:/wwwroot/user/myadmin/


3. Include config.php, session.php and css.php


Insert the codes below to your PHP page to call the

config.php

,

session.php

and

css.php

. This will load all the necessary database connection, program libraries and CSS.

To do this, open the news.php file with text editor, and put it to the

topmost line (line 1)

of the PHP file, without any preceded character.

<?php
  include_once ("C:/wwwroot/user/myadmin/config.php");

  include_once ("C:/wwwroot/user/myadmin/common/session.php");
  include_once ("C:/wwwroot/user/myadmin/common/css.php");
?>

4. Include News Publisher Menu, News and Announcements


a. To display News Publisher categories in the menu area:-
