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

<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>
|
|
88
|
|
|
89
|
<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>".

<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
|
|

184

</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>
