This is a fork of Etherpad (as of 1.6.0 or 1.6.1) with various customizations that we Beeminder people like.

• simpler URLs
• fewer formatting options
• monospace font
• custom buttons

Plugins we use

1. adminpads so that paddomain.com/admin gives an admin interface
2. author_hover to see who typed what (names shown as hovertext)
3. brightcolorpicker to show a 5x5 grid of sane color choices
4. hide_referrer to not leak pad urls when you click links in pads
5. pad_activity_notification_in_title to handily indicate changes
6. post_data to import pads programmatically (not using anymore)
7. prompt_for_name to encourage authors to identify themselves
8. sync_status to show when all changes are saved

Installation (Unix)

Etherpad works with node v0.10+ (except 6.0 and 6.1).

You'll need gzip, git, curl, libssl develop libraries, python and gcc. And node.js.

• For Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get install gzip git curl python libssl-dev pkg-config build-essential
• For Fedora/CentOS: yum install gzip git curl python openssl-devel && yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
• For FreeBSD: portinstall node, npm, git (optional)

As any user (we recommend creating a separate user called etherpad):

1. Move to a folder where you want to install Etherpad. Clone the git repository git clone git://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite.git
2. Change into the new directory containing the cloned source code cd etherpad-lite

Now run bin/run.sh and open http://127.0.0.1:9001 in your browser.

Update to the latest version with git pull origin. The next start with bin/run.sh will update the dependencies.

Tweaking settings

You can initially modify the settings in settings.json. (If you need to handle multiple settings files, you can pass the path to a settings file to bin/run.sh using the -s|--settings option. This allows you to run multiple Etherpad instances from the same installation.) Once you have access to your /admin section then settings can be modified through the web browser.

## Hide-Referer plugin adjustments:

To make it work the way we want, you need to do the following:
- edit /node_modules/ep_hide_referrer/index.js and replace:
        args.app.get('/redirect', function(req, res) {
  with:
        args.app.get('/redirect/', function(req, res) {

- edit /node_modules/ep_hide_referrer/templates/redirect.html and replace row 25:
        the_content.innerHTML = '
Referer protection – Click to visit this external link:
'+urlhash+'
';
  with:
        window.location.href = urlhash;
