Vote Caster : 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 set up your online poll. Save the web page file with .php extension, such as votecaster.php. You can put the file in any directory on the server.


2. Find the Document Path


To ensure that your Vote Caster 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 votecaster.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 Vote Caster Menu and Content


a. To display the Vote Caster menu:-

<?php include("C:/wwwroot/user/myadmin/votecaster/home.menu.php"); ?>
b. To display the vote campaign questions and results in the content area:-

<?php $campaign_id=

[ID]

; include("C:/wwwroot/user/myadmin/votecaster/home.vote.php"); ?>
Each campaign has it's own identifier ID,

[ID]

which is used to call up questions and answers. To get the campaign's ID, login to your Vote Caster administration area and click on Campaign. In the Inclusion Code column, click on Get Code to view the ID.
