<h1>HTMLArea -- the free<br/>customizable online editor</h1>
|
|

|

31 |
<p>
|
|
|
32 |
HTMLArea is a free, customizable online editor. It works inside your
|
|
|
33 |
browser. It uses a non-standard feature implemented in Internet
|
|
|
34 |
Explorer 5.5 or better for Windows and Mozilla 1.3 or better (any
|
|
|
35 |
platform), therefore it will only work in one of these browsers.

<h2>Installation</h2>
|
|
|
79 |
|
|
|
80 |
<p>
|
|
|
81 |
Installation is (or should be) easy. You need to unpack the ZIP file
|
|
|
82 |
in a directory accessible through your webserver. Supposing you
|
|
|
83 |
unpack in your <tt>DocumentRoot</tt> and your <tt>DocumentRoot</tt> is
|
|
|
84 |
<tt>/var/www/html</tt> as in a standard RedHat installation, you need
|
|
|
85 |
to acomplish the following steps: (the example is for a Unix-like
|
|
|
86 |
operating system)
|
|
|
87 |
</p>

|
|
|

<pre style="margin-left: 2em"
|
|
|
90 |
>
|
|
|
91 |
cd /var/www/html
|
|
|
92 |
unzip /path/to/archive/HTMLArea-3.0-rc1.zip
|
|
|
93 |
mv HTMLArea-3.0-rc1 htmlarea
|
|
|
94 |
find htmlarea/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
|
|
|
95 |
find htmlarea/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
|
|
|
96 |
find htmlarea/ -name "*.cgi" -exec chmod 755 {} \;</pre>
|
|
|
97 |
|
|
|
98 |
<p>
|
|
|
99 |
<strong>Notes.</strong> You may chose to symlink "htmlarea" to "HTMLArea-3.0-rc1", in which case your server needs to be configured to
|
|
|
100 |
"<tt>FollowSymLinks</tt>". You need to make sure that *.cgi files are
|
|
|
101 |
interpreted as CGI scripts. If you want to use the SpellChecker
|
|
|
102 |
plugin you need to have a recent version of Perl installed (I
|
|
|
103 |
recommend 5.8.0) on the server, and the module Text::Aspell, available
|
|
|
104 |
from CPAN. More info in "<a
|
|
|
105 |
href="plugins/SpellChecker/readme-tech.html">plugins/SpellChecker/readme-tech.html</a>".

155 |
href="http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/gforum.cgi?forum=14;">on the

<h2>"It doesn't work, what's wrong?"</h2>
|
|
|
163 |
|
|
|
164 |
<p>If it doesn't work, you have several options:</p>
|
|
|
165 |
|
|
|
166 |
<ul>
|
|
|
167 |
|
|
|
168 |
<li>Post a message to the forum. Describe your problem in as much
|
|
|
169 |
detail as possible. Include errors you might find in the JavaScript
|
|
|
170 |
console (if you are a Mozilla user), or errors displayed by IE (though
|
|
|
171 |
they're most of the times useless).</li>
|
|
|
172 |
|
|
|
173 |
<li>If you're positive that you discovered a bug in HTMLArea then feel
|
|
|
174 |
free to fill a bug report in our bug system. If you have the time you
|
|
|
175 |
should check to see if a similar bug was reported or not; it might be
|
|
|
176 |
fixed already in the CVS ;-) If you're positive that a similar bug was
|
|
|
177 |
not yet reported, do fill a bug report and please include as much
|
|
|
178 |
detail as possible, such as your browser, OS, errors from JavaScript
|
|
|
179 |
console, etc.</li>
|
|
|
180 |
|
|
|
181 |
<li>If you want a new feature to be implemented, post it on the
|
|
|
182 |
features request and someone will hopefully take care of it.</li>
|
|
|
183 |
|

</ul>

|

186 |
<p>You can <a href="mailto:mishoo@infoiasi.ro">contact me directly</a>
|
|
|
187 |
<em>only</em> if you want to pay me for implementing custom features to
|
|
|
188 |
HTMLArea. If you want to sponsor these features (that is, allow them to
|
|
|
189 |
get back into the public HTMLArea distribution) I'll be cheaper. ;-)</p>
