Hey all - no matter how I try I cant find the link which appears under the admin login box (powered by vShare) so I can remove it.
Admin - it looks like you might be running phpBB - is there any chance of enabling the search function so that we can find stuff more easily and so I don't have to ask questions which annoy everybody?
i think that one is hard coded into the admin/index.php as there is no template for the login part
Search is enabled on the forum....http://forums.buyscripts.in/search.php
Hey just create your own admin/index.php page and paste in the following code:
Code:<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title>{$site_name} - Admin </title>

Hey thanx you two
spun2u - I think that Leki is right. If you have a version of the uncoded
index.php I'd be interested - otherwise I might see if I can get the original source software to work for this page, which may not be too difficult dependent on a number of factors of course. Might be that the input functions don't need php to operate tho' I'll have a look.
Cheers

Yeah its definitely in index.php - I have to shoot out - when I get back I'll continue to work on it.
The link is in index.php, next release onwards, it will be in template file.
For now, download the file
http://www.buyscripts.in/tmp/index.zip
unzip and upload it to your admin folder.
Many thanx admin - I have a press release coming up and it conflicted with my branding.
If anyone out there wants to know how to go about the whole press release process I'll be putting it up a hidden page on my site in the next few days and a link for everyone here.
The average press release brings in quite a bit of traffic.
a press release?
Yesiree Leki - a product of a misspent business degree is that I got to do a fair number of marketing papers. A press release is a super cheap way of driving traffic to your site. I'll put together a blurb on how to do it and show the actual release that I'm going to use. My one will be targeted at the papers - most of the articles in papers are press releases from outside agencies such as big businesses that want their point of view put across for their own reasons. However small players can do it too - hell I have on a number of occasions. So much so that the reporter who I now use at one paper is sending me emails at the mo asking when I'm going to get the release to him. They like free articles - it makes their job easier.
hoss
Press release is good free promotion. But you need to know how to write it to be accepted by many PR sites. There are few sites, that even accept spam as press release.
Let us wait for tips from Hoss :D
That's 100% correct admin.
A poor press release will just get binned. It's also useful to form a relationship with individual reporters. That's a time thing but is easily possible. Local papers are a good place to start as they are always short of local interest stories. you know 'Local boy takes on the world online' - that sort of thing. Also you need a good picture, an image of you standing there like a passport photo won't get you anywhere. An image of you getting attacked by an axe-wielding chicken will get you on the front page if there's no other big story.
I'll be out of town for a couple of days but when I get back I'll get something happening for everyone who's interested
Ok here we go - I don't see the need to be really explicit here about the whole process. After all most of you guys have pretty high IQ's or you wouldn't even be here. Press releases can be videos, mp3's or text. They can be fired at TV stations or news agencies, radio stations or newspapers and the like. Often a news agency won't even check the veracity of a release.
There was a well known case on the international news about 5 years ago, of a guy who made a living selling releases to TV news but they were all faked. These releases were being played all over the world and they were absolute crap. The news in them was fiction and every release showed him somewhere in the shot.
There was a fair bit of embarrassment involved in the news community.
News agencies are professionals whose job it is to get news.
If they can short circuit the process and shove in a nicely edited bit of copy that they haven't even done any research on, they'll do it.
You can make use of that.
I prefer newspapers because you can develop a rapport with a journalist without too much effort.
A phone call is all you need. Usually to the editor if you can get to him/her.
They're usually so busy that they'll just give you the name of a reporter to contact. Then you can ring the reporter involved and say "John Smith or whatever they're called (the editor) told me to contact you regarding this story I've got. I've banged together a primitive press release to give you an idea about the whole thing. Do you want me to email it to you?"
Using the editors name gives credibility to the process after all they're the boss. That makes it more likely that the reporter will be cool with the whole deal. (Some of these reporters are pretty neat people and you develop a good professional relationship quickly - the one that I sent this article to is a great guy)
They like free news because it lessens the work (investigation) that they have to do.
With small local papers you don't even need to get to the editor - they're really hungry for local content about you and how you're taking on the world.
I'm going to bold this next bit because it's important.
The stuff that you write doesn't have to be completely aligned with the facts. You know - it doesn't need to be completely True! However stay reasonably aligned with the truth or you can screw a good relationship.
An image for a newspaper is critical - it can mean the difference between getting run and getting binned. As stated the more 'out there' that the image is the better chance there is of getting the article in. Weird gets readers so they'll shove in a poor story just to get that image on the page.
Don't be afraid to make a fool of yourself to get publicity.
You can see that I have.
My primitive press release is online at http://www.fastmetal.tv/advertise.php
You'll get the idea.

hehe cheers hoss...nice pic ;)
might give it a go :)
Thanx leki - it really is easy peasy
From what I've already experienced you'll get about 1 visit per 100 papers circulated. With my previous ventures I got about 1 percent of those visitors signing up. Might be a bit different with a site like this as its more an entertainment thing.
Who knows.
Cheers
Hoss
Bet you didn't know I was an old geezer huh?
BTW the total cost of the exercise was $10 for a T-shirt, $6 for some poster paint and a bit of time to paint a tyre and roll it over the shirt.
Then call my mate who owns a porsche and its done.
Also I forgot to mention that I always add a fast facts bit to the final email that the press release is attached to - with all of the relevant facts that I can shove in - that way the reporter can cut bits out and rearrange the release so that it makes them happy.
