--The Restore Online Newsletter script.
---------------------------------------
script written by dan gray for C.R.R.H


.......................................

All script files need to be located in
the same directory, unless, of course,
you edit the script to work otherwise.

This script is based on an MSAccess DB.

To setup the database, you will need to,
first, place it in a directory where not
just any joe blow can get to it, but more
importantly, you need to setup ODBC for
it.

To setup ODBC, open the control panel.
You should see an icon called 'ODBC Data
Sources'. Open it up and click on the
'System DSN' tab at the top. Now click on
the 'Add...' button, and select 'Microsoft
Access 	Driver (*.mdb)' and click 'Finish'.
Next, you will need to type in the Data
Source Name as specified in the
openconnection.asp file. The default is
'Restore'. Now, click on the 'Advanced'
button, and enter the username and password
as specified in the openconnection.asp file.
The default for these are 'restore' and 
'sibinnac', respectively. At this point, the 
script should be ready to roll. If you are
having trouble setting this up, send email
to pimpin@budsmoker.com.



The following alphabetical list of
files explains what each is used for:

addrestore.asp
------------------

This file contains the script that
allows you to add newsletters to the
database.





archive.asp
------------------

This file contains the script that
displays the index of newsletters by
month. There are 7 variables that are
defined at the top of this file. These
are used for layout purposes. All 
variables, with the exception of
'strYear', may be changed to alter the
layout of the page. There is more info
on this inside the file.




bgtile.gif
------------------

This is the graphic that displays at
the top of the header.htm file. It is
not a required file. In fact, the 
header.html, footer.htm and this file
can be discarded. Any HTML coder should
be able to figure this out.




footer.htm
------------------

This file closes out the table that is 
opened up in header.htm. This file is 
not required and may be modified to suit.




header.htm
------------------

This file contains the HTML that makes 
the pages look like they do. It is not
required and may be modified to suit.




index.asp
------------------

I made this file, just to have a default
document on the web server. You can trash
it or do whatever.




monthlylist.asp
------------------

This file contains the function that 
creates and displays the monthly list.
This file is required by archive.asp
and should not be changed.




openconnection.asp
------------------

This file contains the information used
to connect to the database. The username
and password for the database is stored in
this file. If you need to change the data-
base username and/or password, you would
do so here.




restore.mdb
------------------

This is the database file. You shouldn't
have to change anything in here. If so, be
sure you know what you're doing. Or send
mail to pimpin@budsmoker.com.




search.asp
------------------

This file contains the search script.
Plain and simple.




viewrestore.asp
------------------

This is the file that displays the actual
newsletter. There is a lot of stuff going
on in here. Not many user serviceable parts
inside here.
