Note: in order to have FMProdConf 1.0 on your site, you must also install FMProdConf 1.0 - server component
1. Read the file license.html. If you don't fully agree with it then you have no right to install this software. If you have any questions, contact me (florinm@topedge.com).
2. Choose a html file and insert the applet tag for the FMProdConf applet in it. It must look something like:
<applet code="FMProdConf.class"
align="baseline" width="120"
height="30">
<param name="bg_color" value="#000000">
<param name="btn_label" value="start
FMProdConf">
<param name="cgi_url"
value="http://www.topedge.com/cgi-bin/fmprodconf/fmprodconf.exe">
<param name="data_path"
value="/var/www/cgi-bin/fmprodconf/data">
<param name="max_dbname_size"
value="32">
alternate text
</applet>
The applet has 4 parameters:
- "bg_color": background color, applicable only for the
applet area embedded in the web page, area which only contain a
button. When pressing this button, the FMProdConf window will be
created, but the FMProdConf window has nothing to do with this
background color. Probably you will choose for the background
parameter the same value you used for the background of the web
page. The color is specified with hexadecimal RGB values, as
usual (don't forget the leading #).
- "btn_label": the label for the button used to start
FMProdConf. In the sample file, this is "start
FMProdConf".
- "cgi_url": the URL for the fmprodconf.exe
- "max_dbname_size":maximum size allowed for database
names. Each database is stored as a file, so that size must not
exceed the maximum length allowed for file names on that
computer.
Of course, you can change pathe above parameters according to your needs.
3: copy all the .class files in the same folder where the .html file from step 2 resides, presereving the folder structure((the class files in the folder marusteri must be copyed in a folder marusteri in the folder where the .html file from step 2 resides).
4. Copu the help.html file somewhere on your site (preferrably in the same folder) and make a link to it from html file where the FMProdConf applet tag resides. Because the help file is not very small, it contains also bookmarks allowing for a mare precise positioning in it. You may use them or may not.
5. That's all. It must work. If however it doesn't, please contact me. FMProdConf is simple and robust and it can't have unsolvable problems.
Thank you for using FMProdConf.
