version 1.1



 <a href="http://erdialog.sourceforge.net">ER Dialog page at Sourceforge</a>,

the ER Dialog Project




 <p><b>Erlang ERDtext is a simple web based text viewer/editor.</b></p>


== Installation and Configuration ==



 Very briefly,


     * Install Erlang.
     * Install Yaws.

 
escript priv/scripts/erdialog.default -make


 This should byte compile the files in the src directory. If all goes well, try 
 ./start.sh, which will start the application in an interactive Erlang shell. 



== Accessing the ERDtext services through the Webbrowser ==


The application is usually accessible on port 8101 (see yaws.conf if you want to 
 change this), so once it's running, you should see the main user interface at


 http://localhost:8101/


== Usage


A text file can viewed by entering the file name: for example priv/books/marip10.txt


You can view folder contents on the filelist page


Enter a file directory (e.g. priv/books) an example is at: in the field above to the "submit" button, and click on the button. The system will start scanning the directory hierarchy beneath the URL you entered.


A text file can viewed by entering the file name: for example priv/books/marip10.txt 



== History of the software ==


This code uses the work of many people in Erlang over the years
 at: http://erlang.org/ and yaws developers and contributors 
 web applications.


Thanks so much.


== Structure of the source code ==



 Code Overview

 The Program logic system


 <b>erdtext.erl </b>
     This module processes commands from the yaws interface and

     connects to erl files to pass the command, then

    returns the response back to the user interface.
 



 The Main User-Interface



 The user interface is constructed around yaws pages which load static
 html files and dynamic information from Erlang beam files.


 <b>index.yaws</b>
     Static  and dynamic HTML and yaws for the main user interface.
     Loads HEAD.inc, NEXT.inc

 <b>erdtext.yaws</b>
     Has dynamic yaws and form and calls itself and shows responses.

 The Help Files

 The help files should give support info.

 <b>help.html</b>
     Static HTML for help.
