(or both) 1. Use our support forums. The Home Free support/help forum can be found at: http://solutionscripts.com/forum/homefree.cgi Many other Home Free owners frequent this forum, thus may be able to provide an answer or helpful advice faster then we can. Of course Solution Scripts also answers questions posted on the forums. 2. Use our ticket based support system, where each support request you make will be assigned a ticket number. This greatly helps us speed up and track all support requests. To use this ticket based system, either use the support center at: http://solutionscripts.com/lounge/homefree/support.cgi or send an email to [e-mail]. If you send an email please include which prorgam (Home Free in this case) you are running and your Solution Scripts username, without these we will first have to ask you for them to verfiy you are a true customer. If either case when asking a support question, please include all information about the problem you can. Also include which version you are currently running, and the database type you are using. Please do not send support questions to any Solution Scripts address besides [e-mail] On the otherhand, all non support related questions can be sent to: [e-mail] ## A small community has built up around users of Home Free and thus we have opened 2 additional forums for users of Home Free to come and share their ideas about anything they like. The urls for these forums, the "Home Free User Enhancmenets" forum and the "Home Free marketing and promotion" can be found from the members lounge page at: http://solutionscripts.com/lounge/homefree As of version 3.2 we have created a Resource Center for Home Free http://solutionscripts.com/lounge/homefree/resource_center This includes some tips and tricks for Home Free, plus other language files The below is being reworked into a web page shortly...... ########################################## About Home Free features and how they work....... To allow people to sign up for a free account, send them to the new.cgi file. When they sign up, a random password is chosen for them and sent to their email address thus you know the email address is valid, and that only one account per email address is given (although now you may let emails have more than one account)...... For members to login into their file manager, send them to manager.cgi Once logged in they have access to all the file manager features. Your headers and footers are always placed on the tops and bottoms of every html file uploaded or created by them. To add more space, above and beyond the amount you selected in the variables.pl file, log into the admin.cgi script, and enter the account name you want to add more space to into the "view account" box, then press the "view account" button.. You will then see the space to add or remove space to a file... To remove space, set the text back back to zero or the lesser amount you want As of version 1.1 you may make all new users "Agree" to terms and conditions for gaining an account and free web pages. To turn this option on, set the term variable in variables.pl to 1. Then in the admin.cgi script, you can add and edit your terms and conditions by selecting the rules.txt file from the list of those to edit. You can enter any html in the rules file, but remember that the "Terms and Conditions" is hard coded into the script, as is the checkbox for clicking to accept the terms. ####################### Any questions please visit the Home Free members lounge at http://solutionscripts.com/lounge/homefree or email us at [e-mail]
