I downloaded WakTag from luved.org for my website. I uploaded the WakTag folder w/ all the contents to my server. Now what do I do to make the tagboard show up in my website. I know that it invovles the
include () but I don’t know what needs to be typed within the parentheses. Can ya’ll help?
(yes I know that the lil example I gave isn’t completely correct, I typed this post rather quickly b/c i’m short on time)
Did you read the ReadMe.txt file, too? Usually they say something about a setup.php or running the index.php file for the first time, and calibrating everything.
EDIT: Or, you might want to just try a content management system like php-Nuke like I have for my site. 😉
the readme.txt is totally confusing to a novice like me. it says to CHMOD something to 777. I have no idea what that means… so i’m completely in the dark. I dunno if I wanna use php-nuke just yet though.
usually a php include would look like this..I’m not sure if this is what you are looking for:
<?php
include(“filename.php”);
?>Ugh…I really dislike CHMOding things…I don’t know, but I’d like to find out. So be sure to post the solution to the problem (CHMODding a PHP File) so other users can know the answer, as well.
I also believe you need your server type MySQL or MS SQL, and the SQL location.

um… that makes no sense what so ever. I’m totally new to this whole MySQL and PHP stuff. Is there anyway the above statement could be explained in simpler terms. I’m so sorry that I dunno much about this, I just really wanna learn, that’s why I’ve got all these annoying questions…
In order for you or your visitors to write messages on your server, you need to set the server to allow the script to write to that file. To do this you need to set the permissions of this file, or CHMOD it. To CHMOD your file to 777, basically means to give it full access permissions for reading and writing. To do this, simply log onto your servers FTP and depending on your FTP software (WS_FTP is my choice), usually you can simply right-click and select Properties of the file you want to CHMOD. You should then be able to set the CHMOD value or simply check off the permissions to write to the file.
thank you a bunch! I use ws_ftp, so I think I can handle the CHMOD thing. But what do I do after I CHMOD the files, and what do I put in the “include ()” ?
well dang. I just CHMODed my files and now I cant gain access to my folder, I can’t delete it either. what should I do now!?!
Here is the readme file instructions:
Quote:quote:Step 1: Upload all the files to their own folder
Step 2: CHMOD the following files to 777 once on the server, if you are using CuteFTP, right click on the file you want to CHMOD, select CHMOD from the list. Type in 777 into the Manual textbox. Click OK. If you’re using WS_FTP, right click the file you want to chmod, select CHMOD (can’t remember exactly which menu it is under, but look through them and you’ll find it), check all the boxes displayed and click OK.
– config.tag
– banip.tag
– tagdb.tag
Step 3: Open index.php on your web browser and test out your new tagboard!I don’t know if its possible to simplify it any further.

Are you using an FTP account with full priviledges? Have you tried logging off and then back on again?
