EZHomesite Documentation and Installation Instructions

Documentation:
This script actually originated as homepage.pl (Home Page Maker ) by David Palmer but in its initial form, it allowed only 3 choices for backgrounds and one single page to be created. Even then, it was an impressive program as it made page creation easy and fun - for anyone. Modifications were made by Greg Mathews webmaster@notts.net http://www.notts.net.

EZHomepage by Manny Juan
Then came the enhanced version EZHomepage by Manny Juan (manny@jps.net at http://inet-images.com/manny/). Manny Juan modified it by simplifying the setup (no more redundant makepage.html) and by allowing full editing of text and clip art choices. He also included a starter set of clip art images for splash graphics, backgrounds, horizontal separators, bullets and animated email icons so there are more choices available for creating a wide variety of pages.

EZHomepage 2000 by Bill Hall
First major upgrade of ezhp2000 was supplied by Bill Hall (bycs@bycs.com at http://http://www.bycs.com/ezhp2000/) August 8. 2000. He later added image upload capabilities, and fixed some security related bugs. In the same month he practically rewrote the script so it could handle multiple communities. In September 2000 he also added image management handling for admins. Bill Hall has made a lot of great improvements, and have also enhanced some of the other versions of EZHomepage.

Ethos Online's Version (by Simon Pierce)
Simon Pierce (simon@ethosonline.com at http://www.ethosonline.com/scripts/) also made a version of EZHomepage. He improved the interface and streamlined the script to allow easier control over headers/footers by owner and to allow a more friendly interface for the user including easier text entry, font selection, and even a help page.

Abuzer Khan's Version
Abuzer Khan's (san_trino@yahoo.com at http://www.hotscripts.com/detailed/7040.html) version builds on the mods made by Bill Hall and adds more login features: Login Id, Email-Id and Password. The login ID creates a new directory, and generates a index.html page in the directory. He also added a javascript that makes a window pop up everytime a page is opened, like on Geocities. This may be customized by the webmaster to be an ad, a banner, a reminder, etc.

Great modifications and improvments were also made by:
Sentosa I. Salim - sent@salims.net at http://www.turbinegames.com/ac/ac_default.htm
Marci O'Daffer - marci@kalico.net at http://WebSolutions.Kalico.net
