= Rwd Address Book == How to Use the Address Book (rwdaddresses) There are two ways to add records to rwdaddresses address book. == Adding Records 1. Use the "New File" tab The first field is the most important. It is the filename that will be created. I use the person's name with caps and no spaces RingoStarr The following lines for entry are for you to fill in as you want. When you are finished press the CreateFile button 2. Manually add an entry for a person record You can use a text editor to create a record put information on separate lines. You can have as many lines as you want name the file with caps and no spaces and end with .nam RingoStarr.nam< Save your file to the names/ subdirectory This is similar to how you add a photo to the book. == Viewing an address book entry: Go to "View Contact" tab Type in the name of the contact you want. Type it as the record file is saved: (caps, no space) StevenGibson Then click the "Open" button If it finds the record it will open it. It displays the record as text under the search box. == Viewing Photo Click on the ? at the top right of window If it finds a photo for the person it will replace the window with the photo it will look for the same name as the record with the extension .png To return to the address book, click on back arrows at the top right. For now you need to add photos manually. add them to the names/ directory == List Files Click on "List Files" clicking on the "ListFiles" button will list all the files found in the names/ directory == Add Info For edits to records go to the contacts utilities tab You can Rename contacts Delete contacts attach photos to contacts == Attach photo on the Contacts Utilities tab select the name record, put a jpg photo in the /tmp directory select the photo click on Attach photo, it will rename the photo and copy it to the addresses directory == Sync for multiple computers If you are like me, you have more than one system I use rwdTinker at home on my Linux laptop at work I use it on XP on the go I use rwdtinker on my Zaurus PDA So I am adding contact record on different machines. There is a function to help sync the separate systems in "Selection Panel" click on "Open Schedule Sync Window" First you need your ftp details set in the configuration/rwdaddresses.cnf file you can upload your contacts from your local names directory to the ftp site you can download contacts from the ftp site to your local updates directory you can perform a sync which finds remote contacts and adds them to your local names directory == Change to using png photos instead of jpg If you want to Need to change one line in file rwdaddresses.cnf Need to add nophoto.png in names == Documents when you click on a document name, the document should pop up in a browser window, or in another browser tab. == Using over a Network To serve the application over your local LAN,change the last line in the init.rb file to something like: RwdTinker.file(RWDFile).serve(8080, "-r" ? ".rwduids" : nil) Then you should be able to login at: http://yourhostname:8080 You have to authorize yourself. The .rwuids example is a string with the name of the authorization file, relative to the home directory of the user that started the service. This file has to be in the form of: user1 = password user2 = pass phrase Thus the file .rwduids might contain: erik = secret == Contacts For more information see: http://rwdapplications.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl For more information about RubyWebDialogs see: http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubywebdialogs/index.html Thanks, Steven Gibson == Changelog version 1.01 updated for rwdtinker version 1.59 refactored diagnotic page - one button to see all information added bug report upload to diagnostic page version 1.00 Fix config editing screen version 0.99 added rconftool use to update configuration files changed applets removal to not use external rm removed version number from directory name Debian permissions fixed.
