phpYellow Pages Developer's Guide

Customize Your phpYellow Index Page

Easily change your phpYellow index page by making these changes:

Modify the header and the footer files

modify the footer.php and header.php files. You can change the top banner, navigation and other structural or cosmetic items to suit your taste.

Make changes to util.php

util.php contains CONSTANTS used for making text labels. Things like your business name can be changed here in one place, where it is used across the application. To modify CONSTANTS in util.php open in a non-invasive html editor and change:

ORGANIZATION - modify the lowercase value only
YOURPHPYELLOWNAME - modify the lowercase value only
SHOWAD - modify the lowercase value only
modify other CONSTANTS as desired
save and upload phpyellow/util.php to your server

modify or create a brand new .css file

.css means cascading style sheet. The .css sheet applies formatting (such as color, size and position) to phpYellow Pages. Save hours of work by using TopStyle from Bradsoft.com at http://www.bradsoft.com. A free Lite edition is available too. Open /phpYellow/yellow.css in TopStyle, modify selectors and properties, save and upload to your web server.

Modify premiumYourMessageHere.php

open and replace phpYellow/premiumYourMessageHere.php with YOUR message.

Change the Feature Listing

The feature listing is created by using the unique ckey field of a listing. The script reads all of the database information for the ckey and displays it. Here is how to change the default ckey:

open util.php in a non invasive text or html editor
find FEATURELISTINGNUMBER on about line 59
enter your ckey number value like this:

define("FEATURELISTINGNUMBER", "1"); // change "1" to your ckey number
save and upload util.php to your web server
