Within this area you will find pre-installed CGI scripts for your site.
If you have some programming knowledge you might want to download some
of the third-party Perl scripts that are available from various download
sites. If you install your own scripts please refer to our CGI guide for
general script installation instructions and server paths.
Random HTML Generator:
The Random HTML Generator randomly generates text on your web page. It
picks a HTML string out of a list and inserts it in an SSI (Server Side
Includes) enabled web page. Your page needs to have a .shtml extension
for this feature to work. To setup the Random HTML Generator simply click
on it and input the text that you wish to have generated randomly.
Guest Book:
The Guest Book is a simple guest book generator. To setup this feature
click on it and then copy and paste the code generated into your page.
Counter:
This feature allows you to setup a counter, a clock, or a date box for
a page on your website. You need to generate the code for each script
that you want to use. To setup this feature select the radio button for
the specific script that you want to generate, select options and click
on Make HTML, then simply copy and paste the code provided into
your web page.
Clock:
This utility will create a real time java clock for your site. Very similar
to the clock available inside the counter option. To setup this feature
select the options that you want and click Save to generate the
HTML code to insert into your pages.
Countdown:
This will create a countdown box that counts down to a specified date.
To setup the Countdown enter the date that you would like to count down
to and click on Make HTML to generate the HTML code to insert into
your pages.
CGI Email:
CGI Email is a CGI program written in C for Unix. It takes the input of
a HTML form and converts it to an email format defined by the author of
the form. By doing this the resulting email messages are easy to sort
through. Using CGI Email requires more work than using Forms to Email
programs such as FormMail. However, users with no programming experience
can follow the simple step-by-step instructions in the CGI Email user
guide. To enable this feature, simply click on it, you will then find
instructions for setting it up.
FormMail Clone:
FormMail Clone is a clone of Matt Wright's FormMail.cgi under a less restrictive
license. It should behave almost exactly as FormMail.cgi, however, with
it you are not able to customize the script at all and the output of your
form results arrive in alphabetical order. To enable the FormMail Clone
just click on it.
Entropy Search:
This is a simple search engine that will index the pages within your domain.
To setup the Entropy Search click on Setup Search Engine and you
will be provided with the HTML code that you will need to insert in your
pages where you want the search box to appear. Once you have entered the
code into your pages and have uploaded them to your account, revisit this
area and click on Rebuild Search Index to complete the installation.
Entropy Banner:
Entropy Banner is a simple random banner generator. You can use Entropy
Banner to display random banners on your web pages. To setup this feature
click on it, copy and paste the code into the pages where you would like
to show the banners. To add banners, click on Add Banners. You
can also modify the Rotation of the banners by clicking on Modify Rotation.
NOTE: You must name your pages that contain the code for your
banner rotation with the extension .shtml in order for this feature to
work.
