Tag types actions facilites

There are a few special programs being developed to produce an actions/todo system based on tagged records.

At present there is a CGI script, called actions which uses a support file called actions-site.pl, and also requires the CGI.pm PERL module.

You will also need the main tag types library and programs

Changes

V1.3
Displays information about an action file - requires taglib-0.0.5
V1.2
Automatic sequence numbering
V1.1
Convert to use CGI.pm

Installation

  1. Install the main taglib programs somewhere
  2. Install CGI.pm
  3. Copy the actions script into your cgi-bin directory
  4. Edit the actions-site.pl file as required
  5. Set up the actions directory as described below

The actions directory

The index facility will only display those files in the directory which are readable from the UID under which the actions cgi script is running - usually 'nobody'

You can will only be offered the 'add' option for files which are writeable by the script.

If a file called '.{actionfile}.seq' exists in the actions directory then it will be used to generate automatic sequence numbers for the add operation.
