PLANster is a Web-based program which allows you to coordinate virtually anything (meetings, food taste, events) with your friends.

Requirements:
ADOdb Database Abstraction Library for PHP
MySQL

Installation:

When ADOdb is installed, change to PLANster's config directory, rename site.conf.php-dist to site.conf.php and configure your database connection in there.

Now, go back to PLANster's main folder, edit setup.php and comment the line which says "die('Site already configured');". Afterwards, call setup.php in your browser. The script will check whether the smarty template compile directory is writable, whether ADOdb is installed and whether you database connection works. If everything is OK, click "Initialize database" to have the db layout created. Don't forget to remove the setup.php script afterwards or at least reactive the "die(..)" line mentioned above - otherwise anyone will be able to reset your database.

Now, if you'd like to import the demo-events, use the demo.sql script which can be found in this directory. Either just copy & paste its contents into your favourite db frontend (eg. phpmyadmin), or use a command-line database client (for mysql: mysql YOUR_DATABASE < demo.sql).

What's New in This Release:
Some UI aspects were improved.
A minor caching issue with IE6 was fixed.
