Asaph version 1.0 

Author: Dominic Szablewski
Web: http://www.phoboslab.org/projects/asaph


Requirements & Installation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Asaph needs PHP 5.0 or higher with the GD-lib installed and cURL or
allow_url_fopen enabled. Also MySQL 4.0 or higher and an already created
database is needed. To post entries to your blog, you'll need a good
browser (read: anything not Internet Explorer).

To install, enter your database and server settings in the
lib/asaph_config.class.php file. The settings you absolutely need to 
change are $domain, $absolutePath and $db. You also have the option to 
switch from the minimalist whiteout templates to the stickney templates 
by just replacing both occurrences of "whiteout" with "stickney" in the 
$templates setting.

When done, upload all files to your server and make sure the data/
directory is writable - this is where Asaph stores all images and 
thumbnails. After that, point your browser to admin/install.php and 
follow the instructions.



Usage / Posting
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The only way to post new entries to your Asaph blog, is through a 
bookmarklet. After logging in to your admin menu, you will see the ASAPH
bookmarklet on the left. Just drag this link to your bookmarks bar and
you're set. 

Now, navigate your browser to any page you want and click your newly 
created bookmark. A small box should pop up and all images on the page
should now have a dashed blue border (if not, see the FAQ). You can now 
either click on any of these images or on "Post this Site" to post the
image or link.



FAQ
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: My bookmarklet is not working
A: This can have several reasons. The most common one is, that your
   $domain and/or $absolutePath setting is not correctly set in the 
   asaph_config.class.php. Refer to the installer (admin/install.php) it 
   should tell you the correct settings for these values in the 
   "Asaph Config" section.
   Another reason for the bookmarklet not working could be, that you
   disabled iframes in your browser. Some ad-block plugins do this.

Q: When posting images I repeatedly get the message "Couldn't create a 
   thumbnail of the image!"
A: Most of the time this happens because Asaph wrongly detects the image 
   URL. Maybe because the thumbnail is linked to an interstitial instead of 
   the image itself. You can enter the image URL manually into the "Image" 
   field if Asaph fails to detect it.
   
Q: I'm getting the error message "parse error, unexpected ',', expecting 
   '(' in /admin/install.php on line 46" when I try to install Asaph.
A: Your server is not running PHP5 (see requirements). Ask Your hoster to
   update.
