Here is the Content of the delspam.php

Now all you have to do is go to yoursite.com/index.php?site=delspam enter the Keyword of the Spam you want to delete: e.g. wow-gold and hit "Search" - you will see a List of all Comments that will be deleted - scroll to the bottom, there is the Link to delete them all.

The next thing you should do is installing the Badword Addon from bazic.net.

Ajax is a big topic at the moment. I didn't really get into it because I thought it was very difficult. It might be but webSPELL makes it very easy.

[break]I suggest you Download the Ajax Comments Validator. It will make it easier to understand whats going on.

Now that you've got the Ajax-Validation running, lets take a look at the way it works.

HTML

Everything starts with an input.

I'm going to show you how it works with the Homepage/URL-Input.

Our HTML-Code looks like this: (See templates/comments_add_visitors.html)

As you see I've added a span-Tag after the input - with an ID. However, the more important part is this:
We use the Javascript Event onblur, it calls the function checkhomepage() whenever the User takes the foces off the input.

Javascript

You can find the Javascript in templates/comments_add_visitors.html

Lets break it down.
This just replaces the Content of the span-Tag with the id="validateHomepage" with the /images/ajax-loader.gif-Icon.
As explained in the graphic on top, there are 4 parameter that are necessary.

URL


direct.php will be called, with the parameters:
action=check_url
homepage=the-value-entered-in-the-input

The direct.php will accept this parameters, call the correct PHP-Function and return a String.

ID

"The ID of the Element we want to manipulate" is pretty much all there is to say about this parameter. We want to manipulate the span-Tag with the id "validateHomepage"

ACTION


We've got 4 options here. add, replace, execute and formfield. We want to replace the Content of the span-Tag, with the String the PHP-Script (direct.php) returns.

BASE


time or event, we are using it event-based. As said before we are using an Javascript Event.
If you want to call the fetch-function time-based you've got to add the 5th, optional, parameter - milliseconds.]]> pascal@pascalmh.de (Pascal K.) HowTo get a Full-Width-Forum

After you've completed this small Tutorial you will be able to cut your News wherever you want. A "Read More"-Link will appear, when you click on it you will see the complete News.
[break]
We will need to edit the news.php and news_comments.php - so here we go:
Open the news.php

Search for:

Code:
1.
2.
3.
$content = htmloutput($content);
$content = toggle($content, $ds['newsID']);
$headline = clearfromtags($headline);


Add below:

Code:
1.
2.
3.
4.
// Read More by weSEO.de / Pascalmh.de
// http://weseo.de/blog/read-more
$foo=explode('[break]', $content);
$content = $foo[0].'<a href="index.php?site=news_comments&newsID='.$newsID.'">Read More</a>'; 


Now the news.php is ready to go, lets go on:

Open the news_comments.php

Search for:

Code:
1.
2.
$content = htmloutput($content);
$content = toggle($content, $ds['newsID']);


Add below:

Code:
1.
2.
3.
// Read More by weSEO.de / Pascalmh.de Visit: http://weseo.de/blog/read-more
$foo=explode('[break]', $content);
$content = $foo[0].''.$foo[1];


Thats it! The only thing you have to do now is adding
Code:
1.
[break]
into your News!

[toggle=Changing the Read More appearance (optional)]
Open the news.php

Search for:

Code:
1.
<a href="index.php?site=news_comments&newsID='.$newsID.'">Read More</a>


You can choose one of this options now:
1) Adding a CSS-Class
Code:
1.
<a href="index.php?site=news_comments&newsID='.$newsID.'" class="readmorelink">Read More</a>
Now you can style the link in CSS!

2) Make the Text-Link an Button
Code:
1.
<a href="index.php?site=news_comments&newsID='.$newsID.'"><img src="images/readmore.png" alt="Read More" border="0" /></a>
Upload the readmore.png to you images-directory and you are good to go!

3) Adding an Anchor-Link (jumping right to the place where you left of reading)
Code:
1.
<a href="index.php?site=news_comments&newsID='.$newsID.'#more">Read More</a>

Open the news_comments.php

Search for:

Code:
1.
$content = $foo[0].''.$foo[1];

Change to:

Code:
1.
$content = $foo[0].'<a name="more"></a>'.$foo[1];

There are three Downloads that connect webSPELL with Twitter for webSPELL 4.2.* right now, I will show you how to use them and what they are actually doing.

What is Twitter

Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to the author's subscribers who are known as followers.
- Wikipedia.org
[break]

webSPELL Twitter Bridge 1.0


Sometimes you want to Share some Information with your Visitors but you do not want to write a News because you do not have enough Time or you just do not have enough Content for a News - just Twitter it. You have 140 letters to tell the World what is going on.

Show your latest Tweets on your Website. Your Visitors get to know even more Information about you and your Clan, they see that you are active on Twitter and Follow you.

How to use Twitter Bridge?


Just upload all Files and enter your Twitter-Account in sc_twitter.php - then include it into your index.php.Download: webSPELL Twitter Bridge 1.0



Retweet webSPELL-News using Tweetmeme

TweetMeme is a service which aggregates all the popular links on Twitter to determine which links are popular. TweetMeme categorises these links into Categories, Subcategories and Channels, making it easy to filter out the noise to find what you're interested in.
- tweetmeme.com
As you have read before "Twitter enables its users to send and read messages" but thats only have the truth - you can also Retweet.

Retweeting someones tweets is like saying "Well done". You show the User who original twittered a cool message that you liked it and you also show your Followers "Okay, I did not write this but I think this is just great." Twitter is a Social Network - also because of this Feature.

Let your Visitors share your News with their Followers as easy as possible - with just one click and without leaving your Website, become more popular. Tweetmeme is also a kind of Rating-System for your News. The more Retweets a News has the more your Users like it.

Download: Retwee...ws using Tweetmeme

Tweeter


With atonixx Tweeter-Addon you can send Tweets right from your webSPELL Admincenter. Its a promising Addon but at the moment I would just recommend Users with HTML and PHP knowledge to use it. However, atonixx is already working on a new Version of Tweeter, so stay tuned.

HowTo auto-twitter your webSPELL News]]> pascal@pascalmh.de (Pascal K.) webSPELL.org releases new Feature "My Websites"
webSPELL.org released a new Feature today. You are now able to list all Websites that you own in your Profile, no matter if they are webSPELL-Based or not. If your webSPELL-Based Website is proved as good enough it is listed as a Demo-Page. Another reason why webSPELL.org added this feature is to speed up the Support. To often the Support had to wait for the URL till they could give an good Advice.

Registered user can now manage their websites in a new profile section called My Websites. You are able to mark your sites to be shown publicly in your profile, where others are able then to leave comments and rate the website.

All enlisted webSPELL websites can then farther be connected to a support request in our forums (mandatory from now on for certain boards). Furthermore we will select certain websites to be presented as live demo websites on our demo page.

In the past, missing links to websites related to the support requests slowed down our support efforts, we hope this new feature will help us speeding up our support. It also presents a great opportunity for webSPELL webmaster: websites approved by our team will get published on the demo page and will bring you a lot of new visitors.
