Installing the Exam Script
Auto Install
Make sure you have your database name, database username, database password and database hostname available.
Installing the program is very simple you will upload two files: Install.php and OES_Exam_V1.02.zip
Create a folder on your website for the exam program (make sure the folder is writable) upload the two files into this folder then open your browser and go to the address where you put the Install.php file. (http://YourDomian.com/FolderYouUploadedTo/Install.php)
This will extract and install all files and folders on your server. You will then see a form to enter your database information and your administrator information.
Once this information is entered you will be presented with a link, clicking this link will remove all of the install files and take you the admin login page. INSTALLATION complete.
Manual Install
If you prefer to do a manual install, unzip the OES_Exam_V1.02.zip file.
Create a folder on you server where you want the exam program.
Upload all files, maintaining the directory structure.
After all files have been uploaded, open your browser and go to the address you uploaded to. Here you will see a file called CreateDatabaseTables.php.
(http://YourDomian.com/FolderYouUploadedTo/ CreateDatabaseTables.php)
You need to use this form to create your database tables as it needs to capture the directory path for setting 2 of the database table fields.
If you do a manual install, you should still upload the Install.php file so you don't have an error when you click the link to remove all install files.
The Super Admin
The admin username and password entered in the Create Database form is for the super admin. You must login as super admin in order to setup your payment methods and customer registration form.
There are several special functions that require you to be logged in as the super admin. These functions are rarely used and only needed during your setup. (adding page header graphics, changing header and footer files, adding additional admins, uploading of member numbers (if used)).
The super admin is the only person who can add additional administrators, set up the customer registration form, add and edit payment methods accepted and edit header and footer files.
Add/Edit Admins
From the super admin home, click on add admin. Using the form, enter the Admins personal information and set their authority to view and/or generate reports.
File Editing
Files you can edit online include: Your Index Page Header, Your Customers Header and Footer and Your Email Header and Footer files.
You can also edit the select lists which show the states and countries.
To edit these files, click on the "Template Editor" link located on the left hand side of the admin home page.
The Index Header and Customer Header, uses the tag {SET_HEADER_IMAGE} for displaying the header graphic you upload. If you are not uploading header graphics, you can remove this tag.
The second part of the Header files contains a table with the site links in it. You can add and remove links as you see fit. The ones you should keep is HOME and LOGOUT.
The first table in the Customer Footer is for displaying your site policy links and uses the tag {POLICY_LIST}. If you do not want your site policy links displayed on your customers pages, remove the first table.
The second table contains copyright info and links to our site. You can remove these and replace them with your own information. You are NOT obligated to leave links to us in any of the files.
Creating Policies
Policies show up as links at the bottom of your customers pages.
You can have the policies show up as a pop-up window or as a new page. ALL policies will be displayed the SAME way. You CANNOT have one displayed as a pop-up and another one displayed as a page.
When adding or changing policies, you should make sure the "Don't Show" box is checked.
If the "Don't Show" box is NOT checked, the policy name and link WILL appear on your customers pages.
