Hi all,
I have created a small set of HTML/Javascript/PHP pages as a proof of
concept for using Rivendell's back end tools in a browser.
So far I only have part of RDLogManager going, namely Grids and Clocks.
It works with the current Trypon repos 2.10.3 but will have issues if
you go to newer versions as tables have changed since then (tested in
Firefox).
The reason for doing this is I think QT/C++ is a barrier for most
people here but maybe javascript, HTML and PHP is not so much. It also
means that with the age of QT3 perhaps more people could rally around
HTML tools (or other things) to lessen the burden on Riv for whenever it
is they have to move to QT5+.
I'm not implementing Riv behaviour verbatim as I've tried to simplify
the clocks in particular to make inserting items easier. Anyway
hopefully this will get a few cogs churning among fellow Riv users, if
not I'll continue to keep plugging away at replacing rdlogmanager (event
editing is next and possibly log generation after that).

If you want to check it out, just download the pre alpha release above
and shove it onto a web server with PHP support. Please make sure you
get the pre-alpha release and not the github direct as I don't guarantee
I won't push some updates that break everything at some point (direct
link here
https://github.com/waynemerricks/rivendell-html/releases/tag/v0.1-pre-alpha).
You will have to edit the config/database.php file to point to wherever
your Rivendell db is. It won't do anything insane like delete all your
clocks but I don't recommend installing in production without adequate
backups in case you do something unintended.
All comments welcome including suggestions of short piers I can visit.
Regards,
Wayne
