 SnapDex Documentation (for version 3.0)

  Installing
Follow the simple steps below to install SnapDex ver3.0. If you experience any problems, please report to web@snapdex.com and we will install this software for free of charge! If you are upgrading from v2.0, do not use this method! Use this method only if this is your first time installing SnapDex.

  • 1.) Download & unzip the files to a directory on your computer.
  • 2.) Upload all of the files to a directory on your server. Upload everything except the image files in ASCII mode.
  • 3.) Run the install.html file. If you have uploaded into a directory named 'links' on a domain name called 'joebob.com' - then the URL will be joebob.com/links/install.html.
  • 4.) Fill out the form accordingly. If you have any questions about things that the install form requires, ask your web host provider.
  • 5.) CHMOD the directory '/admin/udata' to 777.
  • 6.) CHMOD the files header.php & footer.php in the root directory to 666.
  • 7.) Run '/admin' (standard username is admin and password is password). Begin by adding categories and then links to those categories.

  Upgrading
Use only if upgrading from version 2.0 to 3.0. If you experience any problems, please report to web@snapdex.com. Using the upgrade method may disable some features such as the header/footer customization from the admin. Please make sure you do not overwrite your current header and footer files if you wish to keep them as is. If you did modify other PHP files prior to upgrading, these modifications will be deleted. Upgrade at your own risk. 

  • 1.) Download & unzip the files to a directory on your computer.

  Customizing
SnapDex provides an easy way to make your entire website look the same and run under one template. Follow the steps below. Please be warned that when modifying files in a program such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage, you may actually disable features or trigger bugs in the script. Customize at your own risk.

  • There are two methods to customize SnapDex. You can modify the files them self or modify the header and footers in the administration panel. If you need further instructions, please contact web@snapdex.com. We can also customize SnapDex to fit your look for a small fee of $45.
