How is it used ?

To use OarIn all that is required is the addition of a couple of lines to the HTML of the referring page. There are two lines in the header which look like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.oarin.net/oarin/demo/linker.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.oarin.net/oarin/oarin.js"></script>

Then where the comment link is required something like this goes in:

<script type="text/javascript">oarin_link('demo','1')</script>

In this case the site is called “demo” and the link is to thread 1. The link shows the number of posts so far.
You can use any numbers you like for the threads - if it doesn’t already exist a new one will be created. The domain need not be a real domain name, it’s just a unique identifier for the site.

How to get OarIn

There is no automatic way of getting OarIn at the moment, though I’m happy to mail it to anyone who wants to run it themselves. You’ll need an ISP who provides PHP and MySQL support.

Alternatively I can host it for you if you ask nicely.

You can reach me at admin@oarin.net
