Instructions on storing birthday data
Birthday and remembrance data needs to be stored in a text file in this format:
* Name: Test Person
* Birthday: 09/Jul/1983
* Deathday: 20/Dec/2002
* Name: James
* Birthday: 20/Jun/1992
* Name: Test
* Birthday: 25/Aug/1992
* Name: Dad
* Birthday: 17/Sep/1953
* Deathday: 27/Jul/2001
* Name: Mum
* Birthday: 28/Apr/1954
But what if I want to add or edit someones birthday?
This problem can be solved by keeping the birthday text file as a wiki page so I can edit it online and immediately see the updates in FothoFax. i.e. It's easy to make the birthday information dynamic as long as you have a wikiwiki on your website.
Installation notes:
- Download and unzip fothoFax_0_25.zip into a directory accessible to your webserver via a URL. Four files will be extracted (fothoFaxCode_0_25.php, fothoFax_0_2.css, overlib.js and AddressBook.txt). A directory called Images will also be extracted.
- Put the following code in a php file in the same directory where you want to show the calendar:
<?php
include('fothoFaxCode_0_25.php');
drawCalendar(1,9);
?>
- Put the following between the <head> and </head> tags of the php file where you want to show the calendar:
<link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="fothoFax_0_2.css">
- Open AddressBook.txt in a text editor and replace the dummy names with real ones keeping the same format. You may want to move or rename AddressBook.txt, in either case, change the variable called "$bdayFile" in FotherFaxCode.php to the new location.
- Optional: Change the variable called "$bdayFileEditURL" in FotherFaxCode.php to the location where the AddressBook.txt can be edited (e.g. a wikiwiki page) or set it as blank.
