| I. Step 1 - Change Settings |
|---|
After you unzip the plugin .zip file, open up the ./vscal/settings/password.php file and change the password to something more secure.
Then open the ./vscal/settings/settings.inc.php file and change the contact information appropriately. |

| II. Step 2 - Upload vSCAL files |
|---|
| Use your favorite ftp program (or at least whichever one you have access to) to upload the ./vscal directory (the plugin) to your public html directory. You don't need to upload this instruction file or the template file (vscaldemo.html). |

| III. Step 3 - If necessary, change permissions |
|---|
If you have a unix/linux host, you will need to change the following permissions so that your listings can be saved.
[file] -> [permission]
./listings (directory) -> 777
./listings/listingnumber.txt -> 777 |

| IV. Step 4 - Integrate vSCAL with website |
|---|
Just put an iframe tag in your page where you want the plugin to be.
example:
<IFRAME height=500 width=600 SRC="./vscal/index.php" TITLE="vSCAL" style="border-width:thin; border-style:solid">
<!-- Alternate content for non-supporting browsers -->
Your browser does not support iFrames
<a href="./vscal/index.php"> click here</a>to see listings
</IFRAME>
also, the vscaldemo.html file has an example.
**********IMPORTANT**********
When you want to add/change/remove listings, go to:
www.yoursite.com/vscal/index.php?page=manage
and enter your password.

| V. Addendum 1 - Adding modified fields |
|---|
Changing and adding fileds to the lister is not difficult if you have any php knowledge.
To change the fields, you need to change the following files -
./pages/mNewListing.php
./pages/mEditListing.php
./inc/setlistingvals.inc.php
./inc/fill_fields.inc.php
./pages/showlisting.php
In the files, just look for where it says:
/* Add custom fields here. */
and use the example in the file as a template.
WARNING! the lister reads and writes the fields in order from a text file, so make sure the order of the fields is consistant across all of the above files. These modifications should probably be done BEFORE you upload the plugin to your website. Oh, yeah, and keep a backup, just in case.

| VI. Addendum 2 - Modifying the look |
|---|
If you want to modify the look of the lister, the first place to look is in the ./vscal/css directory. There are two .css files there, one for the user-side pages, and one for the manager-side pages.
The second place to look is in the user-side html.
The two files that have the actual html code for the user-side are:
./pages/listings.php
./pages/showlisting.php |
