Introduction

Zeta Portal (ZP for short) is a light-weight, PHP portal script. It maintains your links in categories, and also maintains your web-based forms. It does NOT require a database, as all information is stored in text files.

Basics

ZP is really easy to use. Essentially, it stores (on the server) a database of links and the HTML of forms.

The links are stored in an unlimited number of groups. Groups can be created and deleted at will, and links can be added to any group. A group can be empty too.

There is a special group, called the Core Links Group. This is the set of links that you use most frequently, and it is the first group that is displayed when you access ZP. You cannot delete the Core Group.

As for forms, you can copy and paste the HTML of a form from any website and store it using ZP. This can be the Google.com search form, your web-based email form, and the like. You can have an unlimited number of forms. ZP comes with several default forms, like a Google.com search form, and a Hotmail login form.

Getting Zeta Portal

The distribution of ZP is a zip file containing all of the code required to run ZP.

Requirements

ZP needs the following: a modern browser (such as IE5.x or above or Mozilla (and its derivatives)) and a PHP-enabled web server.

Installation

Unzip the zip file, making sure that you maintain the directory (folder) structure of the file (there are subfolders that are needed to be there for ZP to work).

Edit index.php. Near the top you will find the following code:

This is the default username and password pair. Change those to whatever you want.

upload the FULL directory to your webserver, say to /portal. That's it!

To start using ZP, just browse to the URL you uploaded to.
