Steps of installing the script.

Installation:
=============
1. Edit "admin/init.php" and set all variables
2. Open "core.js" and search for "http://yourdomain.com". There are 3 occurrences:

var contractsymbol='<img src="http://yourdomain.com/......
var expandsymbol='<img src="http://yourdomain.com/......
document.write('<LINK href="http://yourdomain.com/......

Replace them with your domain name.

3. Create a folder called "expander" under your root directory. Leave the chmod value
to the default 755.
4. Copy all folders and files to the "expander" folder that you have just created.
For example:
the URL of the "admin" folder should be "yourdomain.com/expander/admin".
the URL of the "example.htm" file should be "yourdomain.com/expander/example.htm".
....
..
5. Set chmod permission of these folders and files to 777:
- folder: "css"
> file: style.css
- folder: "detailed"
- folder: "scripts"
> file: news.js
- folder: "upload"
6. Upload the folder "expander_db" and its 3 files to somewhere outside the root.
For example, if your root is /home/username/public_html , then this folder should
be /home/username/expander_db".
Chmod the folder and all the 3 files to 777.
7. Login to the control panel at yourdomain.com/expander/admin
Default login is "admin/upoint".
You may change the username in "init.php" and the password in the control panel.
8. Add a news and check to see if the news appears correctly in Step 9 below.
9. Add these lines to your webpage where you want to see the Expander news:

<script src="scripts/news.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/core.js"></script>

* Please note that you use the correct relative URL as it depends on where your
webpage is located.
* For quick example, view your result at www.yourdomain.com/expander/example.htm
