---|
30 | |
---|
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. |
---|
36 | </p> |
---|
37 | |
---|
38 | <p> |
---|
39 | HTMLArea is copyright <a |

41 | href="http://dynarch.com">Dynarch.com</a> and it is |
---|
42 | released under a BSD-style license. HTMLArea is created and developed |

44 | <a href="http://dynarch.com/mishoo/">Mihai Bazon</a> for |
---|
45 | InteractiveTools. It contains code sponsored by third-party companies as well. |

78 | <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> |
---|
88 | |
---|
89 | <pre style="margin-left: 2em" |
---|
90 | > |
---|
91 | cd /var/www/html |
---|
92 | unzip /path/to/archive/<% $basename %>.zip |
---|
93 | mv <% $basename %> 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 "<% |
---|
100 | $basename %>", in which case your server needs to be configured to |
---|
101 | "<tt>FollowSymLinks</tt>". You need to make sure that *.cgi files are |
---|
102 | interpreted as CGI scripts. If you want to use the SpellChecker |
---|
103 | plugin you need to have a recent version of Perl installed (I |
---|
104 | recommend 5.8.0) on the server, and the module Text::Aspell, available |
---|
105 | from CPAN. More info in "<a |
---|
106 | href="plugins/SpellChecker/readme-tech.html">plugins/SpellChecker/readme-tech.html</a>". |
---|
107 | </p> |
---|
108 | |
---|

---|

155 | <p>We invite you to say everything you want about HTMLArea <a |

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

157 | forums</a> at InteractiveTools.com. There you should also find the |

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

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