Step 2 - Create A Folder For The Web Transcription

OPTION 1 -- Website with Only One Obituary Database

1. In the My Documents Folder create a folder named websites.
2. In the websites folder create a folder named Some_Obituary_or_Memory_Card_Name_Set.
3. In the Some_Obituary_or_Memory_Card_Name_Set folder create a folder named IMAGES.

OPTION 2 -- Website with with multiple Databases

1. In the My Documents Folder create a folder named websites.
2. In the websites folder create a folder named obituaries.
3. In the obituaries folder create a folder named settings
4. In the obituaries folder create a folder named Some_Obituary_or_Memory_Card_Name_Set-1 .
5. In the SomeObituaryName-Set-1 folder create a folder named IMAGES.
6. In the obituaries folder create a folder named Some_Obituary_or_Memory_Card_Name_Set-2 .
7. In the Some_Obituary_or_Memory_Card_Name_Set-2 folder create a folder named images.
8. Repeat steps 4 & 5 for each additional database set.

Step 3 - Copy the Database To The Folder

Copy the database to the Some_Obituary_or_Memory_Card_Name_Set Name Folder.

Step 4 - Make a Copy of the IMAGES folder to Images

In the obituary's IMAGES folder copy the images to the newly created IMAGES folder that was created in Step 2.

Be certain that the images were copied and not moved.

The IMAGES folder needs a copy because you may want to reduce their size for the website and you do not want to change the original images.

Step 5 - Copy The WebObit Files

OPTION 1 -- Website with Only One Database

OPTION 2 -- Website with with multiple Databases

1. Copy the following to the settings folder:
   • style-webobit.css
   • template-webobit-archiveinfo.html
   • template-webobit-index.html
   • template-webobit-individual.html
   • template-webobit-sourceinfo.html
   • noimage.png

1. Copy the following to the Some_Obituary_or_Memory_Card_Name_Set folder:
   Repeat this step for each obituary database set.
   • webobit.php
   • config-webobit.php

Step 6 - Edit The Config File

Open the config file double clicking on webobit.php.

If the PC has never edited a php file before you may receive the message asking to associate a program with the file.

If the "Windows cannot open this file" message is displayed then choose "Select the program from a list" then click "OK"
