Thank you for downloading Radio Panel™! In this installation guide, we'll tell you how to set up your Radio Panel™ to work for your online Radio. In Radio Panel™, read requests and shoutouts, create and edit members of staff with different ranks, chat with your current employees and much, much more!
+ At least ONE MySQL Database
+ Winzip (Download it here)
+ An FTP Program (I prefer Smart FTP. Download it here)
Main Panel Installation
First, unzip all your files to a place on your hard drive. You must have already done that though, since your reading this.
Before you can begin uploading files, you must edit the file "SQL.php" with your MySQL Database details. These include your host, password, username and database name. Please ensure these are entered correctly, or else it will not work. Save and close the file when your done.
After you've finished, upload all files from the .zip file to your base folder of your webserver. (A.K.A. Not in any folders, though you can if you want.)
Once all your files are uploaded, you must CHMOD a few files. With smartFTP, you must CHMOD:
staff/dj/overwrite.html to 777
staff/dj/log.html to 777
staff/dj/djsayslog.php to 777
To do this, just head in to those folders, right click on the file, and hit Properties/CHMOD. Then, change the "644" to "777".
Great! Your 50% done. ^_^ Now to head on over to the install page in your web browser. To do that, go to www.Yourwebsitenamehere.com/staff/install/install.php. Follow the instructions there to simple setup of your Radio Panel™.
Requests/Shoutouts
To install requests and shoutouts, you must first decide if you want to link to it, or use an iframe to it on the main page. If you want to iframe, find the place you would like to use it, and include this code in the HTML. (Note: Edit the red values to fit your area.)
<iframe src="/request.php" width="#" height="#" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" ></iframe>
To link it, just put this code in your navigation or wherever you want the link to show up. (Note: Edit the red values to change what the link looks like.)
<a href="/request.php">Link Name</a>
Alert IP
Installing the alert IP is quite easy. To install it, all you must do is place this code, anywhere in your index (where your visitors visit).
<iframe src="/alertTOPLEVEL.php" width="0" height="0" frameborder="0" ></iframe>
DJ Says
Another simple installation. Find an area where you want the DJ Says to show up on your main page (or wherever your radio is located) Then, use this code in that area:
<iframe src="/staff/dj/overwrite.html" width="#" height="#" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" ></iframe>
DJ Profiles
DJ Profiles have not yet been set up for index usage. They are fully functional in the panel, though.
Admin Tools
Most admin tools are pretty self explanatory. The only catch here would be, to delete a DJ, go to Edit Current DJ's, find their name, and then click on it to edit. At the bottom of the edit page is an option to delete it entirely. The same applies for DJ Profiles as well.
Note: These can only be viewed by admins and staff DJ's. Lower ranks will not be able to use these/see these at any time.
Edit your Pass/E-mail
Also very self-explanatory, you can edit your own pass/e-mail. Usable by anyone.
DJ Profiles
Both are very easy to figure out. You can view a little profile of each DJ, likes and dislikes, and such.
Requests / Shoutouts
Quite easy to understand. People send in messages, you read them, then you delete them. Yay. View all outputs all the requests, shoutouts and comp. entries.
Complaints
These are complaints that listeners send in about DJs, for bad songs or whatnot. Not to be confused with abuse, which is when a DJ sends in a complaint about a request or shoutout.
Note: These can only be viewed by admins and staff DJ's. Lower ranks will not be able to use these/see these at any time.
Report Abuse
This form is accessible by DJs to report bad requests/shoutouts (ones with bad words or insults). These complaints can be read in the admin tools section.
Alert IP Address
Assuming that you have installed the IP adress alerter correctly on your home page, you can create a javascript alert box that will alert a person when their IP logs on to the index page.
DJ Says Set/Delete
Quite easy to understand, you can set a message that will show up on your homepage if you installed it correctly, and can be deleted accordingly.
Banned Songs Add/View
In the add area, you can add a song that is not allowed to be played on the radio, and why. You can also view the banned songs. In this area, admins and staff DJs can delete banned songs if they are banned incorrectly.
Note: Deleting banned songs can only be viewed by admins and staff DJ's. Lower ranks will not be able to use this tool/see this tool at any time.
Staff Chat
Quite self-explanatory. Put in a message, everyone can see it. *bows*
Staff List and Contact
This outputs all of the DJ accounts currently created and their set e-mails. You can sort it according to rank, e-mail or name.
