want to change, depending on your needs:

$show_faq = 1;

This option allows you to choose whether or not you want to display a link to the FAQ on every individual message page or not.

It defaults to 1 and the link will be put in at the top of the message along with links to Followups, Post Followup and Back to

$title. Setting this to 0 will turn it off, and keeping it at 1 will keep the link. You need to create a faq.html file and put it inside the

bbs directory. The FAQ can contain any information you want to give your visitors about how the board works, your

organization, types of postings that will be allowed, etc.

$allow_html = 1;

This option lets you choose whether or not you want to allow HTML mark up in your posts. If you do not want to allow it, then

everything that a user submits that has <> s around it will be cut out of the message. Setting this option to 1 will allow HTML in

the posts and you can turn this option off by setting it to 0.

$quote_text = 1;

By keeping this option set to 1, the previous message will be quoted in the followup text input box. The quoted text will have a  : 

placed in front of it so you can distinguish what had been said in the previous posts from what the current poster is trying to get

across. Setting this option to 0 will leave the followup text box empty for the new poster.

$subject_line = 0;

There are three options for the way that you can display the subject line for the user posting a followup. Leaving this option at 0

which is the default value, will put the previous subject line into the followup form and allow users to edit the subject however

they like. Setting this option to 1, however, will quote the subject, but simply display it to the user, not allowing him or her to edit

the subject line. The third and final option can be achieved by setting the $subject_line variable to 2. If it is set to 2, the subject

will not be quoted and instead the user will be prompted with an empty subject block in their followup subject line.

$use_time = 1;

This option allows you to choose whether or not you want to use the hour:minute:second time with the day/month/year time on

the main page. Day/Month/Year will automatically be placed on the main wwwboard.html page when a new entry is added, but if

you leave this variable at 1, the hour:minute:second time will also be put there. This is very useful for message boards that get a

lot of posts, but if you would like to save space on your main page, you can set this to 0, causing the hour:minute:second display

not to be added.

Search.cgi

Search will look at all your html pages for words you enter, and return all pages on a list with links. This program is completely

configured and ready to run, but for Search.cgi to return a response, it need to be activated. This is easily done by logging in via

telnet and at the prompt after login type the following command:

chmod +r /www/yourdomain

Now you can access search.cgi with the following URL: http://yourdomain.com/cgi bin/search.cgi.

There is a configuration file called search_define.pl which accompanies search.cgi and sets up the variables for it. You can

customize which files you wish to exclude from searches, and also the cosmetics of the search and results pages.
