Polymer

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: polymer_0.01

Notes:
Polymer version 0.01

STATUS:
The Polymer code base is currently in production on several live,
mission-critical systems.  However, the code presented here is strictly for
review and is not at all release-quality.  Although you should be able to use
Polymer to develop a solid application, there is still much to be done to make
this truly useful for new users.  Expect to notice a LOT of room for
improvement.

FILE INSTALLATION:
The Polymer source tarball should extract into this directory layout:

   polymer_0.01
   |-- app
   |   |-- modules
   |   |-- plugins
   |   `-- templates_inc
   |-- app2
   |   |-- modules
   |   |-- plugins
   |   `-- templates_inc
   |-- html
   |   |-- poly
   |   |   |-- Styles
   |   |   `-- js
   |   `-- poly2
   |       |-- Styles
   |       `-- js
   `-- polymer
       |-- modules
       |-- plugins
       `-- templates_inc

The recommended setup is to move the directories 'app', 'app2', and 'polymer'
into a location outside of your web server's document root, though this is not
required.  The directories 'html/poly' and 'html/poly2' should be placed inside
the document root.  You may rename any of these directories, as long as you
update the config file ('app/polymer-config.php' and -- if needed --
'app2/polymer-config.php') to match.

DATABASE SETUP:
Each Polymer application (which may or may not contain multiple interfaces)
requires one MySQL database.You may share that database with another application
or purpose, but there ispresently no way (such as a consistent table-name
prefix) to distinguish the"other" database tables from those tables belonging
to the Polymer application;further, this version will not support more than one
application on the sameMySQL database.To install the Polymer tables into your
existing empty MySQLdatabase, run the included MySQL script 'polymer.sql'.

CONFIGURATION:
Polymer supports multiple interfaces on the same application, each with their
own configuration.  To begin with, you may be content with only one interface,
in which case you will not need the directories 'app2' and 'poly2'. Configuration
for the interface resides in the interface's polymer-config.php file
('app/polymer-config.php', 'app2/polymer-config.php', 'app3/polymer-config.php',
etc.).  The comments in such file(s) are currently the best documentation on
configuration.

FIRST USE:
Once your installation is properly configured, point your browser to the
'html/app/index.php' file (for example, that often would be
http://example.com/app/index.php).  Polymer will ask you for a username
and password.  You may login as 'admin' with password 'admin'.
