INSTALLATION - BASIC VERSION

To install MyContactStation, you need to download and unzip mcsbasic.zip  to your hard drive.

In the BASIC Version you will need to edit the following files

1. mcsbasic/config.php

Edit the config file with your settings and information.  The config file is commented to make this process easier.

2. mcsbasic/components/first.js

Replace the default URL with the path to your URL. 
Ex.  http://www.yourdomain.com/mcsbasic/

OPTIONAL CHANGES

template/Thanks.html

You can edit the default thank you message with one of your own.

/demo.html

To see the script in action and to test it on your domain, you can modify the demo.html file.  Just follow the comments.

Once you've edited the files use an FTP Program to upload the mcscript folder to your www directory.  Feel free to change the directory name to any name you wish, just remember to change the paths in the modified files..

For Extra Security Chmod your config.php file to 444.

PLACING THE CODE ON YOUR SITE(S)

MyContactStation works via javascript, so in order to use it on all your pages you need to insert the js link before the end Body tag of all the pages you want the contact station to work. Place this before </body>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.yourdomain.com/mcsbasic/components/mcs.js"></script>

Placing javascript before the end body tag lets the rest of your page load before loading the script. 

WORDPRESS INSTALLS!!  or if the above code isn't working on your site... Change the path to:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="iso-8859-1"  src="http://www.yourdomain.com/mcsbasic/components/mcs.js"></script>

 

IMPORTANT - YOUR PAGES MUST have a DOCTYPE Statement at the Top of each page.  They should anyhow, but if they don't read here to see why...  http://htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/doctype.html

Once that is done all you need to do is insert the links to the contact station anywhere you want the links to appear.

Replace yourdomain.com with your domain path.

Here are some examples..

<a rel="nofollow" href="javascript:displayWindow('http://www.yourdomain.com/mcsbasic/','0');">Contact</a>
<a rel="nofollow" href="javascript:displayWindow('http://www.yourdomain.com/mcsbasic/','1');">Feedback</a>

Once you complete the above, MCSBasic should be working on your site.

-------------------------------------------------------------

CHANGING THE HEADER TO YOUR OWN LOGO

If you'd like to replace the Header in your Contact Station with your own graphic it's very easy...

Do the following...

1. Make your Header Graphic 478 x 43
2. Upload your graphic to the folder of the skin you're using. ex.  /skins/default
3. In the style.css folder..  replace the .header  background line with

background:url(yourheadername.jpg);

4. In your Config.php file.. Remove the Contact Header Title.. Leave ""
 

That's it..

-------------------------------------------------------------

Important to Note..  It's important that your domain uses the www path in order for some javascript
functions to work properly.   We have found that if a visitor comes to your site via http://yourdomain.com
they may not be able to close the Thank you page.. with the close button.. but they can with the X Button.
