Subdomain Access Just looking for a little verification and testimony here. If I have a .tel domain with three sub-folders could I give access to each of the sub-folders to three different people? For example, if I am a university I could have the sub-folders faculty, athletics, administration, and could I give a person access to each one but not the others? So that I could have one person responsible for updating faculty contact info but not able to update athletics info? And a person from the athletics department could update coaches and trainers info but not update faculty info? And a person from administration could be responsible for only update administrative personnel info? Do each of these three people have to have their own .tel to access, or could they just access the subfolder through the universities' .tel domain? And how do you set this up if this is possible? Has anyone had success using this feature? This definitely would be a great feature for universities, companies with several departments, organizations of complex structure and more? Thank you for any response, StEve |

nah you can't[/size] |
Actually this can be done using an interface like TelCPs one which I believe is free at present. |
Thank you, where and how do I find this TelCPs ? |
ynp, I believe that version 2.0 of TelCP, which contains the functionality you are looking for, is being released today. I have asked the developer to confirm on this thread when that is done. There are some more details on this thread here - http://www.telnic.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1755 |
Thank you so much for the information, looking forward to all of this. |

Hi, Yes you can. Of course you can share your tel with others. But only with TELcp V2.0 which was launched yesterday. You can choose what you want to allow them to do. There are 6 different access levels for the tel owner to choose from. We guarantee upto 10 users (give access to 10 outsiders to manage their own tel pages without any assistance from tel Owner) FREE of charge. This minimum 10 tel User facility will be available all the time FREE of charge unless you wishe to increase the minimum number. For Users more than 10, there will be different packages very soon. But our main concern is to make the tel popular by allowing access to more people other than the tel Owner. You can do all this at telcp.com where everything is automated. There are separate online "user help guides" for tel Owners and tel Users. They can be accessed only after registration. Registration if FREE for tel Owners anf tel Users. We will be updating the user guides on regular basis as per feedback from users. For your information, we developed this to create directories for our own premium tel names. But we decided to share this with others after Oauth was introduced by Telnic. Cheers! TELcp[/size] |
Im getting WDSL error, cannot load pages etc. this was for the owner account "boracay" that we set-up. so not sure what to do now.... could you guys take a look into it please? also, re the account/sub-account procedure. I think that needs a little explaining. its a powerful tool no doubt, but for somebody who owns just one domain or one directory? a few other things... * Verification emails from registrations@telcp.com are not getting through the junk filters. might need to make people aware of that. * on my Mac/safari... if you update a map location, the confirm webpage comes back blank after submission. telcp is gone * ...and bing? Is it possible that the owner can default the system to use another mapping service, such as OPENSTREETMAPS, or ovi maps? Because boracay does not even show roads with bing, so it's a tough sell to get resorts/users to put themselves on a non-existent map. this tool is looking awesome. well done. powerful stuff for the multiple .tel directory owner ps: Would love you guys to come up with a MOBILE optimised website version of telCP . now that would be really something that could change the world! |

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. We have rectified the issue. Now you should be able to continue without WSDL error. We have also replied directly to the system generated error message. Quote: [/size]
Sub accounts were introduced to cater tel owners with multiple domains in multiple accounts. In, your case just need to create one sub account. Need to do it only once at the begining. Having sub accounts will help to add more tel domains from different registrars. This feature might help you in the future. Also convenient if you want to transfer the domain to any other tel Owner using TELcp with all tel Users in that domain in tact. Quote: [/size]
We are aware of this and have the answer. But need to simulate this with different test accounts. It will be rectified soon. Quote: [/size]
Will look into this issue. Bing map was chosen for various reasons. However, Bing map will only a guiding map in TELcp. Your actual map on the tel page will still be from Google (the default map from CTH). Quote: [/size]
Thank you very much for your straightforward comments. We appreciate it. Quote: [/size]
We have already developed a mobile version for the tel User. Still few things to be tested. That is what we want at the end. Not the desktop or notebook. We are concentrating more on the mobile app. Computer Desktop/ notebook stuff is just the beginning. If you have any further questions regarding the present telcp.com service or any other feature requests, please do not hesitate to contact us directly or come back on this forum. Cheers ! - TELcp[/size] |
Thanks for the quick response and update. Would it be possible to pass username=&password= somehow to the actual editing page directly? https://www.telcp.com/users/telpage.php I am setting up the "related" ads box as a way to link to "manage this resort", because it's unique in the bottom lower right corner of screen, but an even better way might be to use the "view private data". Either way, I'm still thinking that there are a few too many clicks to get to the actual edit page. Could passing the variables simplify things even more? |

No. Once you decided to allow the management of the tel page to a tel User, you invite one or many users. Up to this level tel Owner has access to the tel Page in question. Once the user has accepted and verified, telpage belongs to the tel User. The tel Owner now cannot edit the tel page through TELcp. To get the tel page back to tel Owners control, you need to first suspend the tel User. After that there are three options in the pop up menu. You decide what you like at this point. You can not use tel Owner's username/password to override tel User's credentials and access tel User pages. That will be invading tel User's privacy. However, if you wish you can use your own tel page as a tel User. Then You must invite yourself to become a tel User. Quote: [/size]
Your question is not so clear to me. But if the question means that your requests with variables are going to a second page instead of processing it on the same page, the answer is as follows. First is we wanted to reduce the weight of the loading page. Second is, the processing page has internal verification once again to check the page actually belongs to the same registered User. This is a precaution to stop people attempting to tamper with others data. If anyone attempts, the 'Access Denied' message is displayed. However, TELcp V2.0 does not provide feature to access data that you may have reserved for TelFriends. At present, we are concentrating on public tel pages. Rgds - TELcp[/size] |

Firstly, I think its fantastic what you guys have achieved. It must be simple enough for clients to update their page easily, and I am hopeful that it can be made even simpler. here's the thing. I count minimum 4 clicks (that is needing to view 4 more screens), that is, to actually go from the clients directory page (for simplicity we will even include for them a "manage link"), to them literally being able to start editing their data. I am not sure how else it could be done....but if they wish to edit their page, it almost needs to be a 1 or 2 click away task. (tough to do i guess) cheers.[/size] |
Whats the price? Quote:
100 subdomains limit. Unfortunately for boracay.tel, we cannot use the system beyond the most simplest of testing. our targeted client resort telpage listings are not showing in the first 100 subdomains the telCP system is choosing to load. accommodation.boracay.tel has within it a LOT of folder data, mainly a location record for some 500 resorts. but regardless of what we use that for, its not the information we need telCP to reference Is there a way to stop telCP from loading that specific folder? ....OR... from the control panel i can see this function... "Deleting a folder - Will delete all folders, telpages and tel Users" hmmmm. is this talking about deleting the ACTUAL boracay.tel data in the CTH? or is it ONLY in reference to what has been loaded into telCP's system? (to all: there is a warning that does pop up, but it doesnt actually say CTH or otherwise, so I would like to confirm ASAP) ------------- I think at this point, I would like to ask whats the price for using the telCP system to be able to load more than 100 folders. for what its worth, about 500 client resorts are at our first level of the boracay.tel directory...its just that "accommodation" is also there, and being the letter "A" its basically trumping all other letters after it. Even 1000 folders is not really enough because not too far down the list is "Business"... and well there are a lot of businesses in that folder too! cheers[/size] |

Understand your situation as a commercial directory owner. You will definitely need to use a commercial package of TELcp. Quote: [/size]
No you can not do it with the TELcpV2.0. I understand what you mean. It is not something that is not possible. But at the end will run into lot of complications when the TELcp system compares the urls at CTH and at telcp.cm database. To overcome such complications, we need to do lot of coding which will eventually slow down the whole process. So I do not recommend this. Quote: [/size]
Very Good point to draw our attention. We have now clarified this on the precautionary pop up message where you are required to put your signature once again. So, now it clearly indicates what happens. Quote: [/size]
Many have asked this question already during the last 48 hours. I am afraid, we have not finalized the pricing structure yet. We are still studying the bandwidth consumption by tel Owners and tel Users. Since the telcp service is an unusual one, we can not compare with other online services. Therefore, we need at least 2-4 weeks to study this pattern before start costing for the services we offer.We shall let you know as soon as we have a definite answer. One other important thing is that we decided today to give priority to Telnic Forum users when we start providing the services on commercial basis. We see the requests are getting larger and larger now. We did not expect this so quick. So, please bear with us. p.s. When we we have many telOwners and telUsers using the system we might be able to announce the pricing structure little earlier than mentioned above. - TELcp[/size] |
Er, is there any plan by Telnic to offer the facility TELcp is marketing here? Part of the Telnic reason-for-being/sales-pitch is to immunise yourself against vendor dependency. I love the functionality offered by TELcp, but I have no desire to shell out additional funds and lock myself into a commercial relationship that could up prices at minimal notice, or disappear altogether. Telnic - when can we do this via the console (or how do we do this ourselves)? |
kiwihiker, There is a .tel API available to all, the details and code examples of which can be found in the developer area at http://dev.telnic.org/. This can be used to replicate any of the functions of the control panel or any third party tools. Fortunately, for those who do not have the time or the technical ability to develop their own custom solution using the API, there are third party providers such as TelCP who are producing these kind of specialist tools for the community. |
