1.2 CONFIGURATION
Instructions :
Open config.pl and edit all variables. Detailed instructions available in script. Once you
edit that upload it and you are ready to go. Check if the script works by typing in the url to
your main directory. If index.cgi doesn't get executed in your server use index.shtml instead.
The SSI that has to go in your index.shtml is <!--#exec cgi="index.cgi" -->
Note : Make sure all your url are pointing to your domain. Please do not load the images off
livetamil.com.
1.3 COMPLETE SKINNING GUIDE
Instructions :
Go to http://www.livetamil.com/scripts/netpals/skins.shtml
Topic Covered
- How to add an external Search Page?
- How to add a front page login screen?
- How to show new ads in an external page?
- Change colors and table format for ads and search engine.
- Color changer script.
- More...
1.4 CHANGE THE LOOK AND FEEL
Instructions :
Define $style in config.pl. Currently we have only one style. style1.pl, style2.pl, style3.pl
Follow that pattern when installing new styles. style1.pl contains all the cgi HTML's that
could be edited. You could also edit the error messages and other messages through this.
Define colors and other options here. This script is not fully finished. But, has become better
from the older versions.
Next edit "Templates".
Go to the templates directory and open all the files with .ltpals extenstion in a html editor or
notepad(experts) and add your own HTML code and intergate it with your site design :).
Default templates come with no <html></html> tags. This should completely change the look and
feel of your site.
1.5 FAQ
How do I remove the "Administrator" Link from the home page?
------------------------------------------------------------
To remove the administrative link open the folder "view.ltpals" in the template folder and
remove the following line. <a href="admin.cgi">Administration</a> (password : LiveTamil)
or you can just remove the password do knowone sees it.
Why Doesn't my photo upload work?
---------------------------------
The file upload is a new function that is included in 1.2.6
We have tested it in a unix machine running perl 5. If you have set all your paths and CHMOD
properly and still doesn't work you might want to contact your admin for help. If you still
have problems please let us know.
What are the valid characters allowed when adding a profile?
------------------------------------------------------------
Title _@.,%&*#!?
Name _Blank Space Only
Password None [A to Z][a to z][0 to 9]
Email _@.-
Comments _@.,%'"&#!?()*:;
Extra Fields _@.,#!*():-?
Experts : This could be edited in common.pl file. It is recommended to keep the default
settings for security reasons.

1.6 QUESTIONS OR HELP
Instructions :
Go to our "Help Board" located at
http://www.livetamil.com/board
and post any questions or help that you might need to install and run this script smoothly.
1.7 COPYRIGHTS vs HELP
Instructions :
Since this script is free of charge I am not expecting everyone to show the copyrights or link
to my site. Instead you could help me by adding your site to our showcase or helping us
to create an addon or skin. Your help is much appreciated. In all cases the cgi headers should
never be altered. The cgi scripts should never be changed and sold without the written
permission of LiveTamil Networks. No parts should be stolen to develop a new script. Link to
our site is in the template files (yes the files that end in .ltpals). If you find any bug
please report it to us. Thank You.
