[pmwiki-users] FGS Beta Testing Installation

[John Feezell]

Knut and Pm,

FGSv2 is now stable enough for beta testing. 
Instuctions for the installation follow.

1. download "FGSv2-x-latest.txt" from <http://cbfa-cos.org/4others> and 
place it in the cookbook directory.

2. in the cookbook directory, rename "FGSv2-x-latest.txt" to 
"FGSv2-x-latest.php"

3. download the files 
     "Forms.Design-SampleTestCSSForm" and
     "Forms.Design-Comments"
          from http://cbfa-cos.org/4other> and
          place them in the wiki.d directory
          (Right click on the name and "save link as"
            with wiki.d as the target.)

4. add the following line to your config.php file:
       include_once('cookbook/FGSv2-x-latest.php'); 

5. enter "Forms/Design-SampleTestCSSForm" as
    a PmWiki page name in your browser. This should
    bring up the form design page.

6.  click on the "Prepform" link. 
     This should create a directory named "formguides" and
     set permissions so that PmWiki can write to it and access it
     NOTE:  this is one place where you may have trouble since
          FGS requires that the "formguides" directory have the
          same permissions as wiki.d.  You may need to create
          this directory and set the permissions by hand.

7.  assuming that step 6 was completed correctly, you
     should be viewing your first form using FGS.  This
     form is a "everything but the kitchen sink" form that
     I use for testing FGS.  It not beautiful but it does the
     job.

8.  when FGS is installed and the permissions are correct on
     the formguides directory, let me know and I'll visit and
     make sure things are working correctly.  I will also
     setup a comment page so that we can discuss the issues
     on your installation using your copy of FGS.

If you have problems with the installation, please let me know.

Thanks for being willing to help with the beta.

Please email me or post here any problems and successes.
