My Contact Station Premium v1.1
-----------------------------------

With My Contact Station, you can protect your email accounts, reduce spam, increase your traffic via our Tell-A-Friend function and help to build your mailing lists.

Installation Video Available at:
http://www.mycontactstation.com/install/

Note:  You need to have PHP enabled on your domain for My Contact Station to work.
You should have Version 4.0 or greater..   We are still testing on other versions.

------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION - PREMIUM VERSION

To install MyContactStation, you need to download and unzip mcspremium.zip  to your hard drive.

In the PREMIUM Version you will need to edit the following files using a Text Editor

1. mcspremium/config.php
Edit the config file with your settings and information.  The config file is commented to make this process easier.

2. mcspremium/components/first.js
Replace the default URL with the path to your URL. 
Ex.  http://www.yourdomain.com/mcspremium

3. mcspremium/templates/Mail.php

The Mailing List function is designed for users to insert html or javascript code from 3rd party List Services such as Aweber or GetResponse.

Simply replace    <!--INSERT LIST SERVICE CODE HERE --> with your html or javascript link.

If you don't have a Mailing List, you can just enter a message stating that fact.   However, I highly recommend you start building a list.  You get an Aweber Account by Clicking Here.

OPTIONAL CHANGES

template/Thanks.html

You can edit the default thank you message with one of your own.

/demo.html

To see the script in action and to test it on your domain, you can modify the demo.html file.  Just follow the comments.  Essentially, it's just adding the url path to your script.

Once you've edited the files, use an FTP Program to upload the mcscript folder to your www directory. 

YOU SHOULD SET YOUR UPLOAD MODE TO: AUTO

Feel free to change the directory name to any name you wish, just remember to change the paths in the modified files..

For Extra Security Chmod your config.php file to 444.

PLACING THE CODE ON YOUR SITE(S)

MyContactStation works via javascript, so in order to use it on all your pages you need to insert the js link before the end Body tag of all the pages you want the contact station to work. Place this before </body>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.yourdomain.com/mcspremium/components/mcs.js"></script>

Placing javascript before the end body tag lets the rest of your page load before loading the script.

IMPORTANT - YOUR PAGES MUST have a DOCTYPE Statement at the Top of each page.  They should anyhow, but if they don't read here to see why...  http://htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/doctype.html

Once that is done all you need to do is insert the links to the contact station anywhere you want the links to appear.

Replace yourdomain.com with your domain path.

Here are some examples..

<a rel="nofollow" href="javascript:displayWindow('http://www.yourdomain.com/mcspremium/','0');">Contact</a>
<a rel="nofollow" href="javascript:displayWindow('http://www.yourdomain.com/mcspremium/','1');">Feedback</a>
<a rel="nofollow" href="javascript:displayWindow('http://www.yourdomain.com/mcspremium/','2');">Tell-A-Friend</a>
<a rel="nofollow" href="javascript:displayWindow('http://www.yourdomain.com/mcspremium/','3');">Join Mailing List</a>

Once you complete the above, MCSPremium should be working on your site.

The Google Map Api

By Default the Google Mapping Feature is Turned OFF.
If you wish to use the Google Map here's how to do it.

In Your Text Editor goto:  /mcspremium/templates/Contact.php
Remove the Comment Code As Directed.  <!--           -->

Then goto:  /mcspremium/zip.php
Remove the Comment Code As Directed.  <!--           -->

Finally, locating the Latitude and Longitude of your address using Google.

This is a neat trick..  Goto: http://maps.google.com
Type in your full address.  Street, City, State
Once the Map comes up do the following.

Copy and Paste the following Code into the URL Window by itself.

javascript:void(prompt('',gApplication.getMap().getCenter()));

Hit Enter..  It will give you Latitude, Longitude.  Enter it in Config file.  You're done.

Advanced Users - The Google Map API makes a call to our server to generate the
Google Map.  If you have your own Google Map API you can call it from your server.
You'll need to edit the template/gmap.php file with your own API Code.

-------------------------------------------------------------
 

CHANGING THE HEADER TO YOUR OWN LOGO

If you'd like to replace the Header in your Contact Station with your own graphic it's very easy...

Do the following...

1. Make your Header Graphic 478 x 43
2. Upload your graphic to the folder of the skin you're using. ex.  /skins/default
3. In the style.css folder..  replace the .header  background line with

background:url(yourheadername.jpg);

4. In your Config.php file.. Remove the Contact Header Title.. Leave ""
 

That's it..
