***If you need assistance with installing this script, we recommend the programmers at http://www.drizware.com/postcard/";
$basepicurl = "http://www.drizware.com/postcard/pictures/";
$cgi = "http://www.drizware.com/postcard/card.cgi";

B.) Below are the directories of the template files. Please upload the following files to the
folder - http://www.drizware.com/postcard/.

For UNIX users, the variable '$ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}' usually finds the exact path location
to the files, so keep it there. It should look like the following....

$cards = "$ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/postcard/cards/";
$basepicdir = "$ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/postcard/pictures/";
$preview1 = "$ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/postcard/preview1.html";
$preview2 = "$ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/postcard/preview2.html";
$makecard = "$ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/postcard/makecard.html";
$thank_you = "$ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/postcard/thankyou.html";
$error = "$ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/postcard/error.html";
$email1 = "$ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/postcard/email1.txt";
$email2 = "$ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/postcard/email2.txt";

For NT users, you will need the full path instead of the variable '$ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}'.
It should look something like..

$cards = "D://inetpub//wwwroot//248189//p6u8yua3//postcard//cards//";
$basepicdir = "D://inetpub//wwwroot//248189//p6u8yua3//postcard//pictures//";
$preview1 = "D://inetpub//wwwroot//248189//p6u8yua3//postcard//preview1.html";
$preview2 = "D://inetpub//wwwroot//248189//p6u8yua3//postcard//preview2.html";
$makecard = "D://inetpub//wwwroot//248189//p6u8yua3//postcard//makecard.html";
$thank_you = "D://inetpub//wwwroot//248189//p6u8yua3//postcard//thankyou.html";
$error = "D://inetpub//wwwroot//248189//p6u8yua3//postcard//error.html";
$email1 = "D://inetpub//wwwroot//248189//p6u8yua3//postcard//email1.txt";
$email2 = "D://inetpub//wwwroot//248189//p6u8yua3//postcard//email2.txt";

C.) This is location of your email program.

For UNIX users, it should look should like the following. The first one is the most
commonly recognized variable, while the one below it is the next common. I would suggest
trying the first variable and if it doesn't seem to send e-mails, then try the next one. If
there is still no e-mail, then ask your hosting provider for the location of the mail program and
if it is turned on.

$mailprog = '/usr/lib/sendmail';
$mailprog = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';

For NT users, it should look something like the following. I would suggest trying this variable and
no such luck, then I would ask your hosting provider for the location of the mail program and
if it is turned on.

$mailprog = 'windmail';

D.) This is the number of days you want the postcard to remain on the server.

$MAX_DAYS = '10';

E.) The following two variables are subject headers of the e-mail's being sent. $subject1 is
the subject header of the e-mail being sent to the recipient while $subject2 is the
subject header of the e-mail received by the sender when the postcard was picked up by
the recipient!

$subject1 = "You Have A Postcard!";
$subject2 = "The Postcard was Pickup!";

F.) The following variable is what connects the two CGI Scripts together. This path is very important
and must be exactly correct or it will not work. The file labeled "program.cgi" doesn't need
to be edited. The reason for the two separate CGI files are for those who want to upgrade to
version 2. This way, you just upload the newer version of program.cgi and that's all

For UNIX users, you may be able to use the following..

require "$ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/postcard/program.cgi";

For NT users, you need to use the full path, and will look something like.be able to use the following..

require "D://inetpub//wwwroot//248189//p6u8yua3//postcard//program.cgi";

G.) ############################################################
# For those using the Free version, please disregard
# the variables $uploadmax & $allowed. Those using the
# upgrade version, please read and change the following two
# to meet your needs.
############################################################

This is the maximium size of file that can be uploaded to the server in Kb. I recommend
that you set this between 40 - 60, so that people don't upload large pictures that will
take up lots of space.

$uploadmax = '50';

This is the maximium size of the file '/postcard/pictures/' in Kb. So once the file has
exceeded its $allowed, the user can't upload their own picture until the old ones have
erased. This script will automatically delete the old pictures as well as the old
postcards so you will not have to worry about that! Currently it is set on 1000Kb or
1 megabyte, which is pretty large. I added this because some people have only a certain
amount of space available to them. Rememer this space also includes your own pictures
that you will upload. If space doesn't matter, set it to a large number.

$allowed = '1000';

###################################################
###################################################
3.) Change the Following on the file "index.html"

If you open the file, you should see the following...
You need to change the 'http:' part to point to your own server

<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="http://www.drizware.company.com/postcard/card.cgi">

To add your own pictures, link the 'http://www.drizware.company.com/postcard/pictures/bluefish.jpg" HEIGHT=107 WIDTH=75 BORDER=1><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="PICTURES" VALUE="bluefish.jpg"></TD>

4.) Editting the template files

In changing the template files, you can edit them in any way you want. However,
you must not change them around, i.e, leave the %%% before and after the variables
or else it will not work.

the variables do the following and thus can add them to any of the template files..

%%%PICTURES%%% - URL of the Picture
%%%SENDER%%% - The name of the sender
%%%MAILFROM%%% - The e-mail of the sender
%%%RECIPIENT%%% - The name of the recipient
%%%MAILTO%%% - The e-mail of the recipient
%%%MESSAGE%%% - The message
%%%CGI%%% - The URL of card.cgi
%%%MAX_DAYS%%% - The max number of days on the server
%%%SHORTDATE%%% - The exact date in the format - MONTH DAY, YEAR at TIME
%%%url_of_card%%% - The URL of the postcard that was created
