It's just synctactic sugar, but it is always better than executing string
concatenations in one's mind.
Do not do this with files in src/static, because we want to keep IE 11
compatibility.
skinName must be a single string (no directory separators in it) pointing to an
existing directory under /src/static/skins.
In case these conditions are not met, its value is rewritten to "no-skin".
Also, the value of skinName if sent to the client via clientVars for allowing
its use it in the browser.
If you edit `src/templates/export_html.html` to remove the
`<meta name="changedby" content="Etherpad">` tag[1], PDF export with
soffice has a bug: the first word of the pad is deleted and a blank page
is inserted as first page (the pad's text begins on the second page).
The `--writer` soffice option avoids that bug.
[1] you may want to delete that tag since it is inserted as a comment in
.doc or .odt soffice export.
This should look to consistent locations when looking for relative paths,
without depending on current working directory.
For absolute paths, nothing changes.
This is just a function (with an ugly side effect for caching purposes) that
heuristically tries to compute the Etherpad installation path when running under
Unix and win32 (they have different file system layouts).
This path can be used by Etherpad as a base for all the relative paths, in order
to be deterministic and not depending on cwd.
This is the location that is choosen by default when Etherpad starts with no
settings.json file.
It was different than the one contained into setting.json.template.
The hostname:port of URIs used in Minify are currently bogus and refer
to localhost only for historical reasons; there's no reason to retain
them and omitting them avoids generating an invalid URI when "port" is
not an integer.
Context: settings.port is passed to express's listen; if not numeric, it
is used a filename for a Unix domain socket.
This allows e.g. starting a server to be reverse-proxied on a multi-user
system, using the filesystem to handle access control and avoiding need
to allocate port numbers.
Before this change, etherpad-lite starts without error when configured
to listen on a Unix domain socket in this manner. However, `pad.js` and
`ace2_common.js` are generated incorrecting, causing an error
"Uncaught Error: The module at "ep_etherpad-lite/static/js/rjquery" does not exist."
when loading the editor:
When settings.port is a non-numeric string, e.g. `etherpad.sock`, a URI
of the form `http://localhost:etherpad.sock/static/js/rjquery.js` is
generated and parsed to find the file needed. In this case, the file
searched for is `:etherpad.sock/static/js/rjquery.js`, rather than the
expected `static/js/rjquery.js`. No such file exists, and the required
code is silently omitted from the bundle.
As a workaround, hard-code a (meaningless) hostname which can be parsed
correctly, since the current code makes no use of it anyway.
Etherpad 1.6.6 does not run on node <= 5 already.
Node 6.9 is the first LTS release in the 6 series, and comes with npm 3.10.8.
Declarations in package.json are advisory unless the user has set
`engine-strict` config flag.
Updated the docs accordingly.
When using LibreOffice to convert pads to doc, we got `Error: no export filter for /tmp/xxxx.doc` (tested with LO 5 and 6). Maybe it's a regression from LO. Anyway, converting HTML to odt, then to doc works.
Thx to lpagliari for her review!
* Add scroll when it edits a line out of viewport
By default, when there is an edition of a line, which is out of the
viewport, Etherpad scrolls the minimum necessary to make this line
visible. This makes that the line stays either on the top or the bottom
of the viewport. With this commit, we add a setting to make possible to
scroll to a position x% pixels from the viewport. Besides of that, we
add a setting to make an animation of this scroll.
If nothing is changed on settings.json the Etherpad default behavior is
kept
