BMLT Basic Standalone Satellite
DESCRIPTION

The Basic Meeting List Toolbox (BMLT) is a powerful, database-driven system for tracking NA meetings. It is NOT an official product of NA. Rather, it is a project designed and implemented by NA members, and meant to be used by official NA Service bodies.

This project implements a "standalone satellite." It does not have to be integrated into a content management system.

REQUIREMENTS

The project requires a functioning BMLT root server. It does not implement a root server, but connects to an existing one. It requires a Web server capable of executing PHP 5.6 or above.

This class uses the BMLT Satellite Base Class, which is available on GitHub, here.

INSTALLATION

You need to move the "bmlt-basic" directory, and all its contents, into a PHP-executable directory that is the same level as the file that will include it.

You need to have the config-bmlt-basic.inc.php in the same directory. This is the file that will be modified to establish the settings.

i.e.:

<html>---
        |
        V
        <bmlt-basic>-----------------
        |                           |
        |                           V
        V                           bmlt_basic.class.php
        config-bmlt-basic.inc.php           *
        |                                   *
        |                                  etc.
        V
        index.php

Below, is a super-simple implementation of the BMLT:

<?php require_once ( dirname ( __FILE__ ).'/bmlt-basic/bmlt_basic.class.php' ); ?>
<head><?php $basic_bmlt_object->output_head(); ?></head>
<body><?php $basic_bmlt_object->output_body(); ?></body>

There are a number of sample files included with the installation. These are not necessary for running the app, but show how it can be used in various ways (not just the default map search).
