Creating Your AutoList21 Page

Before you upload this page (complete with your content), make sure you have also updated the embedded JavaScript definitions when you do so (see below), and have edited the alcore.pl library as appropriate. Remember that you have given assurances that the NoiseFactory banner will remain in place as the first item in the first gap - this was a condition of receiving your free copy.

IMPORTANT: Don't try to edit the toplist table's layout manually - use the Admin Utility.

This page includes the forms visitors use to add and edit their entries. You are strongly advised not to edit these forms in any way - doing so may render the referal counters unusable. The final section, Things to Watch Out For, is included for your benefit only, and should not remain part of the live page.

Please remember that this version of AutoList does NOT entitle you to any free support services.

Don't forget to include an ID and Password! You will need these to edit your entry later.

Things to watch out for

Don't move al_wotever comments

This page contains a very basic AutoList21 toplist, with just one entry already added, and our required banner already in place. You can add other material in the usual way, but you should not remove or shuffle the order of any of the AutoList comment tags. These tags are all HTML comments of the form

<!-- al_wotever ...... -->

where "wotever" might be "begin" or "gap" or "block", and so forth.

Consider warning visitors if JavaScript is disabled

AutoList21 uses JavaScript to check that the AddURL and EditURL forms are correctly completed before invoking the associated CGI script. It also plays a crucial role in the operation of the "outward trap page" mechanism. If you think that visitors to your site may tend to disable active scripting, you may want to include a message asking them to turn it back on again and reload the page before continuing. The HTML code for doing this goes a little like this:

<noscript>

This page uses JavaScript in order to work properly, and your browser appears to have active scripting turned off at the moment. Please re-enable JavaScript and reload this page before continuing.

</noscript>

Setting the JavaScript variables

If you open this page in a text editor, you will see the following code in the page header.


      <script language="JavaScript" src="../yourpath/autolist.js">      
      <!--

        var script  = '/yourpath/autolist.cgi';
        var outward = '/yourpath/outward.html';

        // -->
      </script>
    

Example
Suppose the various files are saved to the following URLs, where http://yoursite.com is the server on which THIS page is also being saved.

autolist.jshttp://yoursite.com/private/toplists/autolist.js
autolist.cgihttp://yoursite.com/private/toplists/autolist.cgi
Outward traphttp://mysite.com/gotcha/loadsastuff.html

Then we'd change the JavaScript variables to read as follows.


      <script language="JavaScript" src="/private/toplists/autolist.js">      
      <!--

        var script  = '/private/toplists/autolist.cgi';
        var outward = 'http://mysite.com/gotcha/loadsastuff.html';

        // -->
      </script>
    

IMPORTANT: Whatever the URLs of the various scripts and pages, it is essential that their access rights are set correctly. Your hosting company will be able to tell you the appropriate attributes for various classes of file. In general, you will typically need to chmod scripts to either 755 or 777, depending on your server's configuration. If in doubt, ask your host company's support staff.
