CNCat application is intended to create a catalogue of Internet resources and articles. The program is easy to install, to set up, and to maintain. Its functionality includes:

· Adding, editing, and deleting links and articles;

· Checking links;

· Filtering links (“through categories”);

· Creating “black”/“white” lists of links;

· Creating and editing categories of unlimited nesting level;

· Creating cross-categories;

· Exporting data into RSS;

· Searching through the catalogue;

· Automatic e-mail notifications;

· Administering module with moderators involved;

· A set of templates for interface configuration;

· Importing links and formatting themes from the previous CNCat versions.

To start make CNCat function, you should have PHP and MySql. The application supports multi-language interface (the distribution kit includes: Russian, Ukraine, English, and Czech languages).

Note: This manual describes the principles of working with the catalogue within the bounds of the program interface. The ways to configure templates, additional fields, database and etc. are given in separate documents, please see Useful Articles (HOWTO).

3 Upgrading Previous Versions

3.1 Upgrading CNCat 4.x

!	Important! Before upgrading, save a backup copy of all data (Administration – Settings – Export). In case the upgrade is incorrect, you will be able to restore all data using the backup copy.

If the current CNCat version is 4.0 or higher, then there are two ways to update up to the new CNCat version.

The first one (recommended) – installation over the old catalogue. You should copy new files over the old ones and then run the installation in the Upgrade mode. The database will be automatically upgraded.

The second way is to install new version into the separate folder and database. After installation is over, you should import data from the old database and copy configuration files from the previous version.

Both upgrade methods are described in the following paragraphs.

Note: If you’ve modified the catalogue formatting, you should modify the theme to enable new functions (see below).

3.1.1 Installing CNCat 4.1 over 4.0

Save the backup copy of the database. To do this, export data from the old version into the XML-file (Administration – Settings – Export).

Copy new version files over the old files. Run the installation (see paragraph Installation).

While installing, you will be prompted to upgrade the old version. Select one of the methods: update the already installed version or delete program tables and install new version (Fig. 7). In the latter case all the data will be deleted.

3.1.2 Installing CNCat 4.x into the Separate Database

Install the new CNCat version into the separate folder and new database (see paragraph Installation). You can use the same database, but the different tables prefix, for example ‘cncat41_’:

In the administrator interface, select the Settings – Import – Import from CNCat 4.x – Import from XML and database.
Specify database name and tables prefix of the previous version.
Click the Import.

Note: The importing process can take some time. When importing, information on the amount of already imported data is displayed.

For more information on data importing, see paragraph Importing.

3.1.3 Updating Design Themes

If you use the modified formatting theme, you should change it to enable new functions of the catalogue.

New themes have been significantly modified, that is why, if you are using one of the standard themes with your modifications, we recommend to modify the newly updated theme in the same way.

If the standard theme has been radically modified, then do the following:

Save a backup copy of your theme.
Copy new files from the ‘default’ theme into your theme:

· editor.css

· add_article.tpl

· article.tpl

· extended_article.tpl

· /images/category-big.gif

· /images/rss.gif

Copy file ‘add.tpl’ from the ‘default’ theme over the file of your theme.
To enable the link ‘Add Article’: in ‘common.tpl’ file of the ‘menu’ template, substitute the string

{IF !$CNCAT[config][add_disable]}…

for:

{IF !$CNCAT[config][add_disable]}<a href="{$CNCAT[abs]}cncat_add.php">{$CNCAT[lang][menu_add_link]}</a> |{ENDIF}

{IF $CNCAT[config][add_article_enable]}<a href="{$CNCAT[abs]}cncat_add_article.php">{$CNCAT[lang][menu_add_article]}</a> |{ENDIF}

To enable section New Articles: in ‘index.tpl’ file of the ‘index’ template, after the string

{DISPLAY NEW_ITEMS}

add:

{DISPLAY NEW_ARTICLES}

Also, we recommend to copy ‘newitem*’ templates code from the standard theme.

To enable the section for selecting the displayed elements of the catalogue All/References/Articles:

· Copy all ‘itemtype*’ templates from the file ‘common.tpl’ of the standard theme into the new theme.

· In ‘index.tpl’ file of the ‘index’ template right before the string

{DISPLAY SORT}

add the following string

{DISPLAY ITEM_TYPES}

To enable RSS: in the ‘category.tpl’ file of the ‘catpath_currentcat’ template, add as the last string:

{IF $CNCAT[page][show_rss]}<a href="{$CNCAT[abs]}cncat_rss.php?c={$CNCAT[page][cid]}"><img src="{$THEMEURL}images/rss.gif" alt="RSS" style="vertical-align: top; margin-right: -15px;" /></a>{ENDIF}

3.2 Upgrading CNCat 3.1, 2.1, 2.0, 1.4

!	Important! Before upgrading, save a backup copy of all data into XML-files (Administration – Settings – Export). In case the upgrade is incorrect, you will be able to restore all data using the backup copy. For more information, see your CNCat User Manual, paragraph ‘Export’.

To upgrade CNCat versions 3.x, 2.x, and 1.x, do the following:

Save a backup copy for versions 3.x and 2.x – export data into XML-files (see the manual for your current CNCat version, paragraph Export).
Save the backup copy of all old catalogue files.
Install CNCat 4.1.2 into new folder and new database (or into the same database, but with the different prefix for the tables. By default, the prefix was ‘cncat_’). For more information, see paragraph Installation.
Import data directly from the old database or from XML-files.
You can also choose to import design from the old database.
If you have modified the files ‘_top.php’ and ‘_bottom.php’ in the old version, then copy them into the new version.
Make sure the catalogue and its all functions work fine.
Once you remove all old files, place the catalogue files into the old folder.

In the following paragraphs, the way data and design can be imported is described.

3.2.1 Importing Data from Old Database Directly

To import data from the old database:

Go to administrator interface, then select the Settings – Import – Importing from CNCat 3.x, 2.x, 1.x – Importing from database.
Specify the database name and table prefix. Open ‘config.php’ file of your old catalogue version to get these values:

· $db["name"]="database name";

· $db["prefix"]="prefix";

Click the Import button.

Note. The importing process can take some time. When importing, information on the amount of already imported data is displayed.

3.2.2 Importing Data from XML

To import data from XML files:

Go to administrator interface, then select the Settings – Import – Importing from CNCat 3.x, 2.x – Importing from XML.
Check the Clean the catalogue before importing field.
Browse for the XML files if they are of a small size (1 Mb at most):

Fig. 12 – Importing XML from Local Disk

If the files size is larger than 1 Mb, upload the files into the /cncat_export/ folder and then refresh the import page. On the import form, check the Clean the catalogue before importing option:

Fig. 13 – Importing XML file from Server

Click the Import button.

Note. The importing process can take some time. When importing, information on the amount of already imported data is displayed.

3.2.3 Importing Design

New CNCat stores formatting in files, which is different from the CNCat version 3.1 and earlier. For more information on formatting, see Appendix A.

Note 1. Importing design themes function is a trial one yet. After you import the themes, there can be slight differences in the pages format comparing to the old catalogue version.

Note 2. If your current operating system is not Windows (for example, FreeBSD, or Linux), make sure PHP is able to create folders and files in /cncat_config/themes/ folder. Consult your hosting support staff about these abilities.

To import formatting from the old catalogue, you should do the following:

Go to administrator interface, and then select the Settings – Import – Importing from CNCat 3.x, 2.x – Importing Design.

Fig. 14 – Importing Design from Previous Versions

Specify the new theme name (this is how it will be displayed in the list of themes).
Specify the folder for the new theme (this folder will be created when importing).
Enter the old catalogue version database name and table prefix. These values are stored in the ‘config.php’ file of your catalogue old version:

· $db["name"]="database name";

· $db["prefix"]="prefix";

Click the Import button.

Go to the Settings – Catalogue – General Settings. Make sure the design theme is displayed in the list (see the Theme dropdown list).

4 Catalogue User Interface

4.1 Main User Interface Elements

User interface consists of the following elements:

· Menu – links to catalogue main page, adding links form, adding articles form, administration page, and XML site map (1).

· Catalogue search box (2).

· Filters (3).

· The list of the catalogue categories (4).

· Links sorting (5).

· The complete list of all the catalogue links (6).

· Options allowing to select catalogue layout (all content, only links, only articles) (7).

· The list of new links (8) - displays the latest submitted links (the number of displayed links can be set up via Administration - Settings - Catalogue page).

· The list of new articles (9) – displays the latest submitted articles (the number of displayed articles can be set up via Administration - Settings - Catalogue page).

Fig. 15 – Main Catalogue Page

· The path to the currently selected category and category’s name (10):

Fig. 16 – Main Catalogue Page – Path to Current Category

Note: The GUI design depends on the selected theme (see Catalogue).

Menu bar (1) allows you to add link, article, and to go to the administrator interface (see Administrator Interface) and to the catalogue map.

Search engine (2) allows finding the required link in the catalogue efficiently.

Filters (3) are intended for sorting out the links list by various parameters (language, geography, resource type etc.). The filtering parameters can be set up in the administrator interface; its number and variety of values are unlimited. Several values of each filter can be selected for each link (see Filters).

The list of categories (4) includes the number of links contained in every category/subcategory. Each link can be stored in one or more categories. Besides, it is possible to create cross-categories, which are links to existing categories (see Catalogue Elements).

A standard sorting mechanism (5) allows sorting links by popularity, name etc.

There are the following parameters defined for each link in the list of all catalogue elements (6):

· jumps from/to the site (in brackets);

· the link rating in Google PR and Yandex CY;

· level of “favour” links (marked by “star” icons) (see Adding Link);

· brief description of the link;

· the link URL.

To view detailed description of a link, click on the icon :

Fig. 17 – Detailed Link Description

The following parameters are specified for each article in the catalogue list (6):

· article title;

· abstract;

· source link.

To display the content, click on the article title:

Fig. 18 – Article Contents

To inform the moderator about a link, which does not display its contents, click on the icon (see Warnings).

4.2 Adding Link

There are two algorithms of adding links:

· By means of a wizard (recommended).

· By means of one-step form (brief variant).

The advantage of the wizard is in checking of a backward link while adding. To generate a backward link, you should know its identifier, which is generated at the first step of the wizard. In one-step mode, the identifier generation stage is omitted, therefore, backward link checking is possible only after adding the link into the catalogue.

Setting of addition mode and parameters is performed in the administrator module (see Links)

The catalogue administrator, as well as moderators, can add links via administrator interface (see Adding Link).

4.2.1 Add Wizard

To add a link, click on the Add link section in the menu bar; the following dialog box will appear on the screen (see Fig. 19).

Note. The given example describes a standard set of adding parameters. It may differ, depending on the settings specified at the administrator interface.

At the first step, you should specify the site name and address; enter the characters displayed in the image (protection from automatic adding) and click the Next button:

Fig. 19 – Wizard: Step 1

Provided that the previous step has been performed correctly, the wizard will display the next step of the link adding.

Note. All the fields of the form are obligatory. In case one or more fields have been omitted, a warning will appear on the screen with the list of required fields.

At the next step, you should select a backward link from the given list and set it on the pages of the site, defining its address at the corresponding field. This step is optional and can be skipped:

Fig. 20 - Wizard: Step 2

At the next step, you should specify the following parameters:

· Select a category (categories) and subcategory (subcategories), to which the link will be added (up to three).

· Enter an e-mail address for notifications concerning the link submission/refusal.

· Enter the link description (full description is optional).

· Specify values of META-tags ‘keywords’ and ‘description’. These tags will be displayed in the detailed description of the link on a separate page.

· Select the filters values:

Fig. 21 - Wizard: Step 3

To complete adding the link, click the Next.

Provided that all data have been entered correctly, the confirmation of successful link creation will be displayed. Further, the link will be considered by the administrator and added to the catalogue or declined.
