civilizer's Introduction

☕ DESCRIPTION

Civilizer is a web application for Notetaking or Personal Knowledge Management (PKM)

knowledge/expertise/tips/tricks for your job
temporary memo/notes
schedules/plans
detailed procedures you often forget for infrequent tasks
- e.g., installing printer drivers on your computers, submitting a tax return, ...
expressions/vocabularies (e.g. when you learn a foreign language)
ideas/inspirations
todo list for your job or life
insightful maxims/proverbs/humors
and whatever knowledge/information you may want to access later.

Civilizer looks like a notetaking application like Evernote.
But unlike a native desktop application, it runs on your browser, so more Web-Friendly.

☕ DESCUSSION

text
- can be authored in Markdown with a dedicated editor
hyper links

and other file types

It can help you efficiently organize/structure your data by:

- Other OS Users:
  - Execute run-civilizer.sh from your shell command line.
You'll see a System Tray Icon appearing unless you run it on Linux systems.
- [For Linux Users] Currently, system tray icon is not supported on Linux because underlying systems (OS or JVM or both) apparently have technical problems in supporting Java's system tray icon feature.
- The icon will stay in red during the loading process.
- It'll take a while to complete the loading.
- With the loading finished, the icon color changes, and Civilizer can be accessed via your browser.
Access Civilizer.

- If your browser doesn't respond, access Civilizer manually.
  - Right-click on Civilizer's system tray icon (maybe left-click depending on your OS), and choose the menu saying Browse.

civilizer's Issues

file box related issue

Hi,
After opening any selected file inside File Box and then trying to move them into another folder inside File Box an error message appears which says that the deletion of the original file after moving it to the newer location was impossible. The copy process is also not done. The desired operation can be done only after closing and restarting the Civilizer server. Thanks.

forum

i'd like to propose a linked forum for development discussion outside of git issues. it doesn't need to be fancy, anything with subject threads (i.e. not a comments block) would do.

HTTP ERROR: 503 and BeanCreationException when starting (Windows, java 10)

I am attempting to start civilizer on Windows 10, with the most recent java.
The browser opens, and shows HTTP ERROR: 503.
Starting the BAT file from a CMD window shows:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.371]

c:\Users\Michiel\Programs\civilizer>java -version

c:\Users\Michiel\Programs\civilizer>
c:\Users\Michiel\Programs\civilizer>run-civilizer.bat
[ run-civilizer.bat ] Loading Civilizer...

and then a bit later:

WARN [context.support.AbstractApplicationContext] - <Exception encountered during context initialization - cancelling refresh attempt>
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'transactionManager' defined in class path resource [datasource-context.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'sessionFactory' while setting bean property 'sessionFactory'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in class path resource [datasource-context.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.hibernate.cfg.beanvalidation.IntegrationException: Error activating Bean Validation integration

etc.
And it ends with:

Java version clash

Nice work!
Tried it but got this error
...\civilizer>run-civilizer

I'm not using java what should be done?

If it's web based it would be cool to have a demo site to gain an idea of the product without installing anything.

REST API

Hello,

I just found your project while I was looking for things similar to PiggyDB but more actively maintained (and less Java, but no luck here).

I didn't try installing it yet but I'll probably try it tomorrow.

One thing that I feel is missing in both PiggyDB and this one (at least I couldn't find any mentioning of it) is some kind of API to read or write information to the system.

My personal motivation for that is that I'd like for example synchronize my contacts from my phone and my calendar to the system to have them all part in one information-base. The first step in a generic way to support that would be an API.

Other uses could be that you can synchronize your browser bookmarks to it. Basically it would be a HUB for all kind of information and various apps could get plugins to read and write from/to it.

Someone (me?) could then write another service to sync to/from the phone and forward it to civilizer.

Of course direct support would also be nice, but that might be too much to ask ;)

You seem to have invested quite some work in this, I am quite impressed from the commit history. Looking forward to actually try this.

file attachments deletion issue

I am curious if other users have the same problem with file attachments when try to delete it.
After adding files to Civilizer, each time I preview the file attachments or use it in fragments I cannot delete or move them. Sometimes refreshing the page works or waiting 30 sec or 1-2 minutes, sometimes not. I use Google Chrome version 50 on Windows 8.1, Civilizer version: 0.9.0.RC4.
Thanks, Stefan
