octavo

Octavo is a project mainly written in PHP, it's free.

A wisdom engine.

h1. Octavo v1.0

h2. Introduction

Octavo is a set of Notebook/Diary script writtens for personal, single-user use. It is intended to be used locally on one's own computer and does not supposrt logins and sessions (yet).

h2. Features

  • Neat, KISSy interface, no bulky images.
  • tag cloud.
  • date search. (e.g "/date/today" works perfectly)
  • one single db table.

h2. Installation

Execute install.sql (using phpPgAdmin or such tool)

edit conf.php

URL rewrites (currently required)

This is required (FIXME?): lighttpd.conf: @ url.rewrite-once = ( "^/note/(.).(.)" => "$0", "^/note/(img|css|js)/" => "$0", "^/note/(.+?)/(.*)$" => "/note/index.php?redir=$1&path=$2", "^/note/(.+)$" => "/note/index.php?redir=$1&path=", "^/note/$" => "/note/index.php" ) @ [here, "note" (webserverpath) is the directory in which Notebook's code resides]

.htaccess Too lazy to try and write a thing that works in a similar way. Nice people, help. :)

h2. Hacking

Hacking Octavo is easy, really, though not much of it is documented. lib contains libraries of functions with self- explanaory names tpl contains templates used to output things, and inc contains URI handlers, (e.g /archive/first-post is handled by /inc/archive.php)
