Etherpad SSL Https pro setup

Posted on December 21, 2009March 28, 2010 by primaryt

Don’t wanna use SSL / https for etherpad? Fine.

Edit trunk/etherpad/src/etherpad/pro/pro_accounts.js

Replace ‘https://’, httpsHost(pro_utils.getFullProHost()), ‘/ep/account/sign-in?’,

with

‘http://’, httpHost(pro_utils.getFullProHost()), ‘/ep/account/sign-in?’,

Edit /usr/local/etherpad/trunk/etherpad/src/etherpad/control/pro/pro_main_control.js

Replace

evalExpDate: licensing.getLicense().expiresDate,

with

// evalExpDate: licensing.getLicense().expiresDate,

See my other etherpad blog posts for other help in getting pro working

Mobile support to Primary Pad

Posted on December 21, 2009July 11, 2011 by primaryt

I know there is huge demand for working on collaborative documents with mobile devices (android, iphone, windows mobile) however at current this is not possible due to the clients not having the same type of java support as web browsers. We hope by mid 2010 we will have a mobile solution in place so watch this space. The likelihood is the devices will support primary pad when they receive newer versions of Java so it may be worth keeping an eye on Sun’s progress.

Etherpad for Schools

Posted on December 20, 2009October 30, 2011 by primaryt

Primary Technology have released an Etherpad solution for schools called Primary Pad, details are still sketchy. I am working on the project and very few decisions have been made as the project is being run by the educator community. If you have any suggestions for this service please mention them on this pad.
