ABOUT
ME and THE PROGRAM
I wrote this because I couldn't find one that did what I wanted it to
do. I got tired of modifing a page everytime I made a change to my program.
I wanted something I could just enter the information and it updated
the page. I whipped this together in a couple of days. The code isn't
super streamlined, maybe I'll update it in a later version.
EZ-Changelog is a simple
changelog / cvs script that doesn't modify or do anything
to files on your hard drive or server.

|
INSTALLATION |
Super simple. Create
a database and import the changlelog-sql.sql into it. Then
upload all the files to your server, preferably into it's
own directory. Then edit the CONFIG.INC file and change the
options. That's it. Point your browser to the new directory
and have fun. Check out the "USING IT IN YOUR DOCUMENT" below |
|
MODIFYING
THE FORMS |
The forms that are
listed, admin-edit.php and admin-form.php are simple files.
You can easily modify them with a program like Dreamweaver,
or even notepad. There's nothing super special about them.
The SECTION and TYPE are saved to the database exactly as
they are, no special number or value. Feel free to modify
them. The main thing is to not change any of the PHP code
in the files and you should be ok. |
|
USING
IT IN YOUR DOCUMENT/HTML PAGE |
The first thing
you'll need to do after installation is to create a page
on your website and insert the following code where you
want the table to appear <?php include("changelog/main-include.php");
?> change the changelog/ to whatever directory
you installed the program to. You should save this file
as a .php file.
This will then display the
table there. There is no body or html settings in the
main-include.php file. It will use the background image
or color that the default page settings are. The only
other colors can be modified by changing the config.inc
settings.
There is a setting inside
the CONFIG.INC file that will turn off the ADMIN PAGE
link at the bottom of the page. You can still access
the admin area by browsing to the installation of changelog.
The default index.php page will show you the same table
as the main-include.php, but it forces the ADMIN PAGE
link to show up at the bottom.

TO-DO / NOT
WORKING |
+ As of V1.0
the search features on the main screen don't work. I'll
get
around to adding them sometime soon, but have too much
on my plate to do with NOCWizard.
+ There are no sorting options
+Would like to add a way to merge betas together into
one stable type release |
