The below readme.txt file is the original one provided by AllTraffic with some minor changes due to current modifications, etc. For more specific information regarding modifications, refer to the changelog and helpful hints file found in this folder. Thanks for buying the AllTheTraffic traffic exchange engine! This file will outline some basic things you should know before and while using this program. If you need support from a human, feel free to send questions to support@allthetraffic.com ------ 1. Installation To install these scripts onto your website, you'll need to set up a few things first. a) Open dconn.php and modify that to include your mysql database, username and password. Please leave the 'table' settings alone, if they conflict with your current database tables please contact us and we'll help you. Open your control panel and find your way into phpMyAdmin. Navigate your way to the database of your choice and find the linked mark 'import'. From the following page, you can browse for the file traffic.sql on your hard disk. Run it. This will install the tables required for the traffic exchange to run. Close dconn.php b) This is where the fun starts. Open the file require.inc.php in your favourite text editor. This file can be used to edit most of the major bits and pieces of the script to personalise it for you. There is internal documentation (on the file itself) telling you what does what. bi) Then you'll want to modify both the spam.php, faq php and privacy.php to suit your own site. c) Edit any images. If you want to change any pictures on the site (there are hardly any, this is a low-bandwidth script), you can find them in the 'images' folder. There is a default favicon.ico file in the root directory. You can use the default image or edit/change to suit your needs. d) Once your database is all set up, upload all files into your main directory, then run install.php . This will create an admin account for you, using the password you provide. (Use a password that is hard to figure out, has a combination of numbers, letters, etc. but you can remember or either store/write somewhere. Run it using your favourite browser. ** If for some reason the install program does not work, go into your phpMyAdmin and set up a user account with 'type' set to 'admin' manually ** e) Once your admin account has been created, immediately remove the install.php file from your server. f) Give your site a few test runs, sign up a secondary account, and volia! If you've had any problems at all, contact us and we'll sort you out. ---------------- 2. Administration To access the admin panel, log in to your admin account and click the big red 'administration' link. This will take you to the hidden admin section, where you can view and modify users, websites, advertisements, etc. You must be logged in to an administrator account. --------------- 3. Gold Membership When a user signs up for gold membership, you will receive an email from paypal. You should then enter the user view section of the adminstration and click 'make / remove gold member'. This will take you to the gold member page where you can activate their gold status. When a user stops paying, you should also be able to find this out through paypal. Simply follow the steps above but put their username into the 'remove' form instead. ---------------- 4. Advertising When someone buys advertising, you will receive the usual purchase information email from paypal. You can administrate advertisements in the 'advertisements' section. You can add and remove text ads here. If you'd like to replace your entire ad system with another, modify the banner.php file. To change the frame size you'll need to make some adjustments to the surf.php file, but only do this if you know what you're doing. ----------------- Copyright Information By purchasing this script you have gained resell rights to sell it to whoever you want, however in order for this to remain valid it must retain the 'Buy the Allthetraffic Supersurf script' advertisement on the bottom of each allocated page.
