This software resides on an UNIX based web server supporting MySQL and PHP. Bulk Email require sweb hosting support, preferably via EZMLM. The visitor and administrative website is built using a combination of HTML and PHP programming. The construction of the website allows for templates and free form text. Website content, entered via the content management system (CMS), is dynamically inserted into a MySQL database storing the content for the website.

This form of content entry removes the necessity of website administrators having to know PHP or HTML and also simplifies the site maintenance by automatically removing entries after their end date or expiration date has past.

Unlike some content management systems, the look and feel of the end user website is not restricted to a few predefined templates. Instead it is custom developed according to the customer preferences. A generic internal templating system is used to separate the PHP programming directives from the HTML directives. If you are familiar with HTML, you can edit these templates, otherwise these templates must be changed by a knowledable web programmer.

When editing HTMl templates used in CMS Source, be aware of following.

• Leave all HTML comments AS-IS and on their own line. e.g. <!-- begin entries -->
• Leave all PHP variables AS-IS. PHP Varaibles will be all uppercase and enclosed in brackets. e.g. {FEEDBACK}

It is highly advisable to make a backup copy of the file you're editing in case your edit fails.

Website administrators are required to enter a username and password to access the CMS. Administrator passwords are encrypted and content changes are logged with the website administrator username. Visit Using the CMS for more information.
