Introduction:

Anode allows the Acidfree Drupal module to manage Annodexes. Acidfree is a module written by Vernon Maurey for managing digital photos and videos.

Anode stores information about CMML clips in the Drupal database, and then inserts them into Ogg Theora files on a browsers request to create Annodexes. Authorized users are able to edit or add new clips.


Requirements:

* PHP5
* Drupal
* phpannodex


Installation:

* Install Acidfree (see http://drupal.org/project/acidfree).
* Create the table for storing clip information like so: "mysql -u DRUPAL_USERNAME -p DRUPAL_DATABASE < anode.mysql".
* Copy class_annodex.inc and output_annodex.php into the /modules/acidfree/ directory.


Future Improvements:

* Anode only stores basic clip information at the moment. It needs to be extended to handle all the clip bells and whistles CMML provides for.

* Anode may at some point become a separate module to Acidfree, allowing it to become more tailored to Annodexes.


Warnings: 

* Due to certain assumptions Acidfree makes, the form for uploading Ogg Theora files is labelled as "the path to the annodex that you are uploading". It really should be labelled as "the path to the Ogg Theora file that you are uploading".

* Make sure that PHP's file upload limit is large enough for the files you wish to upload. Drupal does not give very transparent error messages if files hit the PHP limit. You can find your file upload limit in your php.ini configuration file under the name "upload_max_filesize".
