In this documentation we have assumed that Wildcat! has been installed on drive d: in the directory wc5 resulting in the fact that the default wildcat directory is d:\wc5, as this is how our development system is set up. Your system may not be set up like this.
To upgrade from v1.00a to v1.00b you should first install the program as decribed in the installation section. You should then:-
- Edit the configuration file skware.cfg as per the section on the configuration file. Please note that that v1.00b has a new registration scheme and the registration code will have changed. We have emailed new registartion codes to all registered users. If you have not received your new code please contact us and we will send you your new code.
- If you have made changes to the old header template you will need to apply these changes to the new template file called http\skware\template\ustat\main.htm as we now only have one template.
- Once you are happy with the new version you can delete the old header template http\skuserstats_html_header.htm as it is no longer used.
To install skUserStats you should follow these steps.
- Unzip the package skus100b.zip into a temporary directory with a 32 bit unzip program such as unzip as shipped with WildCat.
- Move the following files to your default WildCat directory (eg: d:\wc5).
- html-skuserstats.wcx
- The rest of the files supplied in the package are in relative directories and should be moved as follows:-
Source Directory Example Destination Directory data d:\wc5\data http\skware\ol_docs\ustat d:\wc5\http\skware\ol_docs\ustat http\skware\template\ustat d:\wc5\http\skware\template\ustat - Next you should edit the configuration file skware.cfg as explained in the section on the configuration file.
- Add one or more links to the game on the pages that you want. An example of the link required is as follows:-
<a href="/code/html-skuserstats.wcx"<b>Skware's HTML User Stats</b></a>
The operation of the program is controlled by the configuration file. This configuration file is called skware.cfg and must be in your WildCat data directory (d:\wc5\data). This file is in the process of being setup so that it is shared by all of skWare's programs as the single source of configuration information. An example file has been shipped with the package called skware.cfg.dist which can be used as an example.
It is an 'ini' type file the contents for the [skuserstats] section are described in the following table.
