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
On some erros that display a modal with "Force reconnect" button, allow
Etherpad to automatically reload pad after a few seconds. Amount of
seconds is defined on settings.json.
Still need to create tests for this feature, and implement i18n.
This meant plumbing a callback through to `compressCSS()`, which meant that
I had to alter the innards of `getFileCompressed()`. I tried to leave that
function looking more understandable than when I found it; for example, I
flattened out the nested `if`.
I went ahead and upgraded the version of `clean-css` while I was in the
territory.
The semantics of all the substitutions are identical to what they were before.
I _did_ take the liberty of formatting the CSS to be a bit more readable
(at the cost of adding a little bit of whitespace).
The new hook does the same as exportHtmlAdditionalTags, but is declared
in another hook to avoid confusion about how to export tags when they
are stored as ['tag', 'value'] on attribute pool.
This complements #2762, as per @Gared suggestions.
Currently pressing ENTER on a line that ends with ':', '[', '(' or '{'
automaticaly indents the new line with 4 spaces. The variable added by
this commit to settings.json allow an Etherpad instance to not have this
behavior.
