PiccyPuzzle Admin Help

After your PiccyPuzzle has been generated for the first time, you arrive at the PiccyPuzzle's Admin page.

This page allows you to update any PiccyPuzzle setting without re-uploading and creating a new PiccyPuzzle from scratch.

When you PiccyPuzzle is generated for the first time, you *MUST* bookmark the unique url address of the admin page your arrive at.
Do this before clicking anything. If you don't, you won't be able to get back to your Admin page in the future.

Below is a description of the Admin page sections, and what they do. The quick links here take you directly to the section you want. Or just scroll down..

Codes and Links - Embed Code

If you have your own web page somewhere (eg a MySpace page or a blog), you can embed your PiccyPuzzle so it appears in your own page. To do this:

Your PiccyPuzzle should then be shown, so long as you (or anyone else) has a Flash Player version 7 or later plugged-in to your browser.

Nearly all browsers have Flash already built in, and most all already at version 9, so it's unlikely you need to upgrade your flash player to see your PiccyPuzzle.

PiccyPuzzle has been tested on Windows IE, Firefox, Opera and Safari, which are the most common browsers.

If you're still having problems seeing your PiccyPuzzle, try going to it's Play page as described below.

If you are able to see it on your Play page, check that you have copied and pasted the full link into your web page.

If you're still having problems, please contact us using the Support section of your Admin page, and we will investigate.

It would be helpful if you could also tell us which operating system you're using(eg. Win XP), and which browser (eg. Firefox)

Codes and Links - Play Page Link

If you don't have your own web page - no problem! You can play your PiccyPuzzle at PiccyPuzzle.com.

Just send the Play Page link to your friends, and they can play it here. There's no difference between playing the puzzle using an Embed Code or via the Play Page link.

You can have also friends play on the embedded version and via the Play Page link at the same time, no problem.

In fact, you can paste your PiccyPuzzle Embed Code into as many different pages as you want.

Puzzle Update

You can update any setting of your PiccyPuzzle at any time you want

Just choose the Puzzle Update section, and the wizard will guide you through your current settings, and allow you to change anything you want.

The only thing that you can't do is to upload/replace the existing picture.

After you have clicked Confirm All Settings on the Preview page, your new settings will immediately take effect.

Unless you are changing the Color of your PiccyPuzzle, the Embed code doesn't change.

Just Restart your browser to force it to reload the PiccyPuzzle, and the new settings will be available immediately.

Player Messages

The Player Messages Admin section allows you to View and Delete any PiccyPuzzle messages.

Player Messages are shown in time order, with the most recently submitted at the top.

If you Delete a message, the changes will be made immediately, so if you restart your browser and reload your PiccyPuzzle, the message will have disappeared.

If a friend has your PiccyPuzzle showing, without them restarting their browser, it will take up to 5 minutes for their puzzle to 'check in' for new new messages (and remove the deleted one).

Leaderboard Entries

The Leaderboard Entries Admin section allows you to View and Delete any Leaderboard entries.

Leaderboard Entries are shown in time order, with the most recently submitted at the top.

If you Delete an entry, the changes will be made immediately, so if you click on the Counters icon, then either Fastest or Smartest, the updated table with the missing entry will be shown.

Password Protect

If you want, you can put a Password onto your admin page. If you are on a shared computer, this is recommended.

If you do this, anyone trying to access the link to your Admin page will be asked for the password you supply.

As well as supplying a password, you can also supply a Password Hint that reminds you (and only you!) what your password is.

The password hint is shown if you enter your password incorrectly 3 times.

If you have set an Admin password, you can Clear it at any time by clearing the Password field and clicking on Submit Admin Password
