note! quickly corrected! so subtopics also available from command-
line.
FIXED: a small bug fiyed, it was impossible to use -D or -I from command-
line, if $ALWAYS_INT was turned on, now it is.
FIXED: fixed problem with local/global variable $time, which confused
the script under certain circumstances, now $time is no more global,
it will be read in (using &getdate) locally by &new and &edit.
CHANGED: The Topic separator is no longer hardcoded, one can customize
it using the $TopicSep variable, the default is now /, the backslash
will no mor work!
CHANGED: use perl buildin localtime() function instead of
GNU date, which is possibly not installed on every target
system (i.e. win32), therefore better portability!
CHANGED: use now the strict module
ADDED: Support for subtopics added (and sub-sub-..-topics).
CHANGED: Removed the "T" command, it is now obsolete.
CHANGED: behavior of list command changed, now shows topics as well as
notes under the current topic(if there are some).
CHANGED: The ".." command takes you now one level higher in your topic-
structure.
ADDED: A new config option $PreferredEditor, which you can use to
specify your own choice of editor.
FIXED: A bug at line 769 causing single note where smaller than note-
listings
README for the mysql version of note
Requirements
============
You need the following things:
o perl installed (5.004x)
o mysql database installed and running
o Mysql perlmodule (you can find it on
http://www.mysql.org) PLEASE NOTE:
It needs the Module "Mysql". The install.sh
script will install it for you directly from
CPAN if you like. Newer versions
are DBI, which you can also use to access
mysql databases. If you want to use it, you
have to rewrite the program. Please let me
know, if you did it :-)
o permissions to create a new database and
to write data to this database.
Installation
============
First, make sure all these things above are ok.
You can use the script "install.sh" to create a new
database and the table structure. You might edit
the script before running it.
If you getting trouble, i.e. if you have not the
required permissions to do that, please make sure,
you can.
As user root, you have to give your user the
neccessary permissions. Please refer to the mysql
documentation, how to do that.
After that repeat the step above.
As root, copy the perl-script "note" to /usr/bin.
You can find a sample config file within the subdirectory
"config" named noterc. There are some special values
which you can use to connect to a different database
then the default.
install.sh will create the following database:
name: user_note
Maintable: note
Number: number(int 10)
Note: note(text)
Date: date(text)
You can use the file "permissions" as a template for
modifying a users permissions to her database. Please
note, that there are different version of mysql out
there with different access privilege systems, which
are not compatible, refer to the documentation shipped
with your mysql installation to learn, how many fields
are available and what they are for.
You may also take a look to:
http://www.mysql.org/Manual_chapter/manual_Privilege_system.html
This should be all.
