Getting Started
</p>
<p>
Reseller Club
</p>
<p>
If you want to use the built in domain registration ability within WCB, you will need to obtain an account with Reseller Club (<a href="http://resellerclub.com/signup/" target="_blank">http://resellerclub.com/signup/</a>).
You will want a reseller account. This is required in order to use the
domain registration API. All you have to do is apply a deposit of $199
and maintain a balance in the account. The deposit is applied to domain
registration fees. 
</p>
<p>
This is the first step in the site building
process. You can build sites using another registrar and uploading a
csv file with the domain names and topics to build with. However, it is
a bit more tedious to build that way, especially in large volume. You
are highly encouraged to use the Reseller Club API for optimum results.
</p>
<p>
Once
you get your account details, you will need to add that information
into the War Chest Builder interface. There are several items you will
need from your Reseller Club account including: Service role (should be
reseller), customer ID, parent ID (should be 1), username, password,
registrant contact ID, admin contact ID, technical contact ID, billing
contact ID. You also need to select an invoice option (most commonly
used is No Invoice).
</p>
<p>
To make more efficient use of your time you
may wish to add that information into the configuration files for the
War Chest Builder. The information is asked for during the installation
and is automatically added to the configuration. The configuration
values are used as default values for creating new profiles, causing
the fields to be pre-filled with that data when you select [Add New] in
the profile editor form. See the Editing Configuration Files section
for more information about defaults.
</p>
<p>
The account data does not
have to be in the configuration, providing you enter it in each profile
you create. It is better to manually enter into the profiles to ensure
you know which account is associated with each profile. Multiple
Reseller Club accounts can also be used, if desired, by creating
separate profiles for each account. A single account can also be used
with multiple profiles. See the Profile section for more details about
setting up profiles.

<p>
WordZe
</p>
<p>
You will also need an account with WordZe ( <a href="http://www.wordze.com/subscribe.php?t=f283f8c236613eb92db94da538ccc5f1&amp;roia=%21YzUxMgBVAAAQ10EAAY_m" target="_blank">http://www.wordze.com/subscribe.php?t=f283f8c236613eb92db94da538ccc5f1&amp;roia=!YzUxMgBVAAAQ10EAAY_m</a>
). This account is used for fetching popular search terms based on the
topic(s) (keywords) you select for building sites. WordZe was chosen
due to the higher speed API. Many other keyword companies have slow API
interfaces, which considerably reduces your build time for sites. And
the cost per search is much less with WordZe.
</p>
<p>
We recommend
creating a monthly account, as you will be using it quite frequently.
You will need to enter the assigned API Key in the configuration during
or after installation. 
</p>
<p>
During installation you are also asked
the maximum number of keyword phrases you wish to fetch per search (or
per topic). We recommend a maximum of 300 to keep costs down. You can
do more, if desired. Just keep in mind there may be extra costs for
larger volume.
</p>
<p>
<a href="http://www.warchestbuilder.com/">Working With Flickr and Wordze</a>
</p>
<p>
Flickr
</p>
<p>
You will need to get a Flickr account, an API Key and secret key. Get a new account at: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/" target="_blank">http://www.flickr.com</a>
. You will need this account and API Keys in order to display photos on
the generated web sites. You have to apply for the API key(s) at <a href="http://www.flickr.com/services/api/keys/apply/" target="_blank">http://www.flickr.com/services/api/keys/apply/</a> before you can use them. 
</p>
<p>
The
Flickr accounts are tied to Yahoo accounts, so you will first need to
create Yahoo accounts for each Flickr account you want. You will need
to apply for each account's keys separately. The application process
can take several days.
</p>
<p>
We highly recommend you get many separate
keys using random names. Flickr does not like a lot of bandwidth usage
from a single key. The photos are displayed on the sites using a php
script named photo.php. You must enter the API Key(s) and Secret(s)
into an array inside that file. The keys are automatically selected at
random by the script to spread the bandwidth across the various
accounts. To edit the file, locate the file in your installation
directory /wcb/asgen/templates/default/photo.php and edit with your
favorite text editor. You may need to download via FTP first, edit then
re-upload. You will see an array named $apikeys near the top of the
script. See below:

<p>
The
format is &quot;api_key,secret&quot; and each quoted set should be comma
separated as shown in the sample above. We highly recommend a minimum
of 10 separate accounts, more if you will be generating a large number
of sites (&gt; 500). As your site traffic increases you may need to get
even more keys. 
</p>
<p>
Note, do not build with the sample keys, or you
will have issues getting photos to display. You will also need to
duplicate the photo.php script from the default template into any new
templates you create, if you wish to show photos.
</p>
The photos are
displayed based on the keyword or phrase for the individual pages on
the generated site. See the template section for more information about
using and editing templates.
