• How to enable or disable plugins in Etherpad Lite

  Date: 2012.04.05 | Category: etherpad | Response: 0

  Etherpad Lite now offers a plugin framework that is accessible via the web browser at:

  
  http://youretherpadserver.com/admin/plugins
  

  The plugin system is currently(05/04/2012, if you see this post when it’s available on the master branch please remind me to remove this part..) only available on the development branch, to get this visit your etherpad lite folder and type:

  git checkout develop
  

  Edit your settings.json adding the lines:

   /* This setting is used if you need http basic auth */
    // "httpAuth" : "user:pass",
  
    /* This setting is used for http basic auth for admin pages. If not set, the admin page won't be accessible from web*/
    "adminHttpAuth" : "user:pass",
  

  Change the user and pass to something secure.

  Visit the available_plugins folder and get a plugin, this plugin for example disables the ability to modify the author name.

  cd available_plugins
  npm install ep_disable_change_author_name
  

  NOTE: You do NOT have to use the shell for installing plugins, the web interface also provides a search tool. I just left this here for posterity and because you are already in the shell.

  Visit the admin interface on http://yourserver.com/admin/plugins and make sure the plugin is installed Enjoy!

• Running Etherpad on PHP on Apache

  Date: 2012.02.20 | Category: etherpad | Response: 0

  Etherpad does not use PHP or Apache.

  Etherpad uses Javascript in NodeJS. You should ask your web host if they support NodeJS and if they have a guide for you to get started deploying NodeJS apps to their hosting.

  Here are some services that can provide web/Node hosting for you to test/play with:

  Node as an Instance

• Setting your own Title name in Etherpad Lite

  Date: 2012.02.18 | Category: etherpad | Response: 0

  Replacing the title in Etherpad Lite with Your own title is just a little command.

  Open up custom/pad.js

  Edit customStart to read..

  customStart(){
    document.title= "Your Title Here"
  }
  

  To change the title for the start page just do the same in index.js
