Integrating Amortization Schedule Calculator

Once you've installed and tested the calculator, you are ready to integrate it into your webpage:

  1. Create a blank webpage in your website's style, then type the single word "break" into the body of the page. Save and close the file.
  2. Open the new webpage in your web browser. Open the page's source code (using Internet Explorer, click on View then select Source).
  3. Copy all of the HTML above the word "break" to your clipboard (ctrl+c). Use a text editor (e.g., Notepad) to open the header.tpl file from the "templates" folder and replace its contents with the copied text. Save the header.tpl file but leave it open.
  4. Copy all of the HTML below the word "break" to your clipboard (ctrl+c). Use a text editor (e.g., Notepad) to open the footer.tpl file from the "templates" folder and replace its contents with the copied text. Save the footer.tpl file but leave it open.
  5. Wrap all <style> and <script> tags in header.tpl and footer.tpl with {literal} tags. For example:
    {literal}
    <style>
    ...
    </style>
    {/literal}
    AND {literal}
    <script>
    ...
    </script>
    {/literal}
  6. Place the following code between the <head> and </head> tags in the header.tpl file:
    <link href="calculator.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
  7. Change <title> tag to:
    <title>Amortization Schedule Calculator</title>
  8. Save, close and upload the footer.tpl and header.tpl files to the "templates" directory of your server or hosting account.
  9. Open calculator.php in your web browser.
  10. If the calculator works, you can link to it from your website.
