INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Contemplate(tm) Web Templating System ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Upload the Contemplate files to a directory called "contemplate" at the root level of your website. 2. Add root-level directories called "content" and "templates." See the "quick start" link below for instructions about what to put into those directories. 3. After you've set up content and templates, try viewing an assembled page by browsing to http://www.yourdomain.com/contemplate/assembler.php?page=yourpagename 4. If the page displays correctly, you can look in the contemplate/htaccess file for instructions on how to access the same page at http://www.yourdomain.com/pages/yourpagename.html 5. If you wish to use the Contemplate Reporter to track visitors and page views, you'll need a MySQL database; you can create a new one or use an existing one. Enter your database connection details into the REPORTER_DATABASE settings in config/constants.php. Also, make sure LOG_SITE_TRAFFIC is set to true. 6. Run this SQL query to create a new table for the Reporter: CREATE TABLE `reporter` ( `timestamp` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00', `visitor_id` tinytext NOT NULL, `ip_address` tinytext NOT NULL, `host` tinytext NOT NULL, `page` tinytext NOT NULL, `user_agent` tinytext NOT NULL, `referrer` tinytext NOT NULL, `entry` tinyint(3) NOT NULL default '0', `exit` tinyint(3) NOT NULL default '0', `duration` smallint(6) NOT NULL default '0', `http_status` smallint(6) NOT NULL default '0', `assembler_error` tinytext NOT NULL ); 7. View a few website pages to generate some data. Then browse to http://www.yourdomain.com/contemplate/reporter/reporter.php to view the reports. If you wish to password-protect your reports, you can specify a password for the PASSWORD setting in config/constants.php.
