To create an Informer:

1. Go to Informers section on the main page of the Control Panel.

2. Press Create informer.

3. Select necessary module in the field with the pop-down list. (Additional options will appear depending on a module).

4. Set parameters of the options Number of entries and Number of columns.

5. Press Create.

6. Insert the obtained code of the type

Code
$MYINF_id$
where you need.

7. Informer appearance and the information for output can be edited in informer template. Type of information (UcoZ codes) depends on the source module. List of codes, available for a certain informer, is under the form for editing template.

With the help of the informer, you can output information both on pages of your website and on any other site in the internet.

There are no explanations for the codes, used in informer template. This is because informers are a serious thing and you should not edit informers without good knowledge of HTML and UcoZ system.

Do you know that...

- Informer outputs ONLY the information, available for GUESTS!

- Informers (as well as RSS-import and Tag Board) work so that not to create additional load on the server, the data are cached and refreshed after a time or at some changes on the site.

- An informer, displayed by means of JavaScript, forms a link depending of the way it is inserted - with www or without www, with UcoZ domain or with own domain. An informer, displayed by means of $code$, forms a link depending on the way one has entered the page - with www or without www, with UcoZ domain or with own domain.

- Informers can be also inserted into global blocks. Moreover, they can be inserted into other sites (by means of JavaScript, which you’ll get by clicking on the name of the informer)!

- Maximal number of informers is 30.

Informers serve to display entries of particular modules on any pages of any sites. For example, you can output the latest forum threads or most commented photos right on the main page. This helps to make your site more interesting and handy for the visitors.

catslove, you can put it wherever you want. If you want it to be displayed on the main page - go to Page Editor - Pages management - Main (edit information).

jackass, there is no sense in using so many informers.
