Installation

  1. Unzip the downloaded file. You should see a folder labeled pyshoutout and a file named psoinstall.py.
  2. Upload the folder and the file to your /cgi-bin/ directory. Make sure that you upload it in ASCII format.
  3. Using your FTP program or other, CHMOD (set permissions) of the psoinstall.py file to 755, that is User: Read, Write, Execute; Group: Read, Execute; World: Read, Execute.
  4. Go to http://[yourdomain]/cgi-bin/psoinstall.py to setup the script.
  5. (Optional) Edit style.css to reflect how you want the font, etc.
  6. Paste the following code into an HTML Page:

    <iframe name="psoread" src="/cgi-bin/pyshoutout/psoread.py" width="100%" height="370">
    Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline frames.</iframe></p>
    <script language="javascript">
    <!--
    function reset() {
    self.document.psowrte.data.value="";
    self.document.psowrte.data.focus();
    }
    -->
    </script>
    <form method="POST" action="/cgi-bin/pyshoutout/psowrte.py" target="psoread" name="psowrte" onsubmit="setTimeout('reset()',10)">
    <p align="center">
    <b>Name:</b><input type="text" name="name" size="10">&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Message:</b><input type="text" name="data" size="20">&nbsp;&nbsp;
    <input type="submit" value="Say" name="submit"><br>
