  Please use the means listed above to give us any feedback about slate_permutate's functionality. Thanks!

Installation Requirements

• PHP-enabled httpd (tested with apache, patches for supporting others welcome).
• Access to PHP's CLI interface
• libcURL extension to PHP (for Calvin's crawler and soon others).
• json_encode()/json_decode() functions (as a PEAR addon or with the recent PHP versions).
• PHP libraries
  • securimage-2.0.2 (optional) for captcha support for the feedback form. http://phpcapatcha.org/ , see inc/config.example for details.

Installation

1. Get a copy of slate_permutate.

   • development version:

     $ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/slatepermutate/slatepermutate
     

   • stable: not yet available.

2. copy inc/config.inc.example to inc/config.inc. Read and adjust settings as necessary.

3. copy .htaccess.example to .htaccess if you're interested in “clean urls” (corresponding to the $clean_urls option in config.inc). You must set RewriteBase in many circumstances.

4. run admin/rehash.php to populate the cache/ directory with information such as the list and rDNS information for schools in school.d.

5. ensure that the webserver has write-access to the saved_schedules/ folder because schedule storage is filesystem-based.
