To download the new package click here.

You should get a zip file name MAMP.zip

Use the instructions here to install and run your new stand alone server package.

If you have any problems please let me know so that I can fix them. Your feedback will improve this service for everyone.

Thanks,

I have come up with basically 2 alternatives for those that are faced with this problem.

Stand Alone Versions of QuickFrame

Stand Alone versions of QuickFrame are basically little web servers all configured for running QuickFrame that you can download, unzip, and run on your computer. Once you have downloaded the package you do not need to use the Internet at all to create chart frames with QuickFrame. These packages are available for Mac and PC platforms.

Pros

• Your version of QuickFrame is self contained on your computer and you do not need an Internet connection.

Cons

• Your version of QuickFrame is self contained on your computer and if your computer fails you loose your data.

QuickFrame Virtual Server

This package is more for a school leader that would like to provide a local network setup of QuickFrame. This package includes a grading program and allows any kind of computer to connect to the local network and have access to QuickFrame and this also allows central backups to be made. This is a great way to set up a computer lab for your students to safely use QuickFrame even when a good high speed Internet connection is not possible or economical.

Where to Download

The main download page is located here.

Locate the package you need, download them, and unzip them.

You can be using it in 6 easy steps:

1. Download the file named MAMP.zip here [Click to Download]
2. Extract the compressed MAMP.zip file to your desktop.
3. Move the folder named MAMP to the Applications folder on your computer.
4. Open the folder in the Applications folder and click on the icon called MAMP. When the control panel opens up click the start button  this will start the QuickFrame servers processes. You are now ready to start using your new private Quickframe server.
5. Your browser should open to the home page of your new stand alone QuickFrame server. If not open your web browser and type in http://localhost:8888/quickframe
6. Log in as admin with a password of 4quickframe.

Once you have your server running you can also manage it from the handy web interface. To get to this interface go to http://localhost:8888 there are links on the left for various management functions and tools.

To Shut Down your server:

1. Open the Control Panel again and click the Stop button.
2. When the lights turn red your server is totally shut down and you can close the Control Panel.
3. There is also a widget that will join your other widgets when you hit f12. To install it you simply drag the widget icon to the /Library/Widgets folder on your computer. This will place a widget on your desktop to conveniently start and stop your QuickFrame server.

Enjoy!

Downloading

To download your copy of QuickFrame Stand-Alone Server go to the download page and download the latest version.

Unpacking QuickFrame

The QuickFrame Server comes in a “zip” file in Windows you generally just have to double click on it and extract it to the location of your choice. I recommend extracting it to your desktop to start. You can move the folder anywhere you want later.

Running QuickFrame

Once you have the file extracted you will see a folder called QuickFrame on your Desktop. Double click this folder and it will open on your desk top. There are two very import icons in this folder they are labeled: Server_Start and Stop

These two buttons not surprisingly are how you start and stop QuickFrame

Double click: Server_Start

In a few seconds your browser will open and you will be taken to the start page for your new QuickFrame Server. From there you can go to QuickFrame directly or go to the Administration page. The administration page gives you complete control of every aspect of your server but you will not have to use it for anything other that possibly changing passwords. There is documentation included on that page if you want to know more about how the QuickFrame Stand-Alone Server works.

QuickFrame Stand-Alone is powered by the awesome work of the people at “The Uniform Server” it is a powerful application and they do accept donations. If you feel this software was worth something to you consider giving them a small donation for all of their effort.

A Few Words about Passwords

All passwords are set to username: admin Password: 4quickframe

When you forget your password to QuickFrame it will reset your password to: 4quickframe.

If you are the only one using your server this is probably fine. However this is a full fledged server package and if you let others use it or you allow access from the internet, you will need to change all these passwords or you will open a HUGE security hole in your machine. This is your warning.

1 exception: Your main mysql (the database) user account is called root and the password is: 4quickframe

Volunteers needed (SBS alumni??):

Although the coding is done - in order for the auto-population feature to work verse references and verse counts for every paragraph in the bible are going to need to be entered in. This is a very simple but highly repetitive job that I just can’t seem to correctly automate, so it has to be done the old fashioned way - by hand. Remember this is a free project if you have benefited by it in the past consider helping future students in this way.
Do you want to help?

If you would like to help please contact me from the Contact page of this site. Basically the job is filling out a form over and over again. with 3 simple pieces of info: Starting verse ref, ending verse ref, verse count for each paragraph in the ESV bible. There is a very good online version of this bible if you do not want to buy one just for this project. The process is quite streamlined and should bring back fond memories of doing paragraph titles for you SBS alumni out there.

Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks you.

Changes for this version:

• New color scheme
• Improved new account security
• The ability to use multiple version of the bible (this was the big one)
• Updated Virtual QuickFrame Server with the new capabilities.

Revised Feature list:

• Students and Staff will be organized into “schools”
  • Each school will have:
    • It’s own grading system
    • Assignment specifications
    • And full online capabilities for completing, printing, and grading the assignments.
    • It can also be used as a simple chart framing program in the same way that QuickFrame is currently used
• Every effort will be made to make the work flow as smooth and simple as possible.
• Hopefully I will have a working prototype by fall (2007) and a release sometime in 2008.

If anyone has experience as a PHP or better yet Symfony programmer please feel free to contact me to help with this project.

StudyWorx is the name I am tentatively considering since it is going to be a comprehensive tool for the Inductive study of the Bible. Essentially, my goal is to create an entire school environment. This includes the ability to complete all assignments in StudyWorx if desired (creating frames will still be possible), grading, staff/student communications, and printing to pdf for the final product. Essentially I want to provide an infrastructure for schools to sign up and run their entire school from StudyWorx. I also want to be able to run an open, full featured, Online, school for anyone that wants to study the Bible Inductively.

If you think StudyWorx is a particularly good or bad name, or if you have a better idea, please comment on this article below, or write me a quick note here.

If you have any problems resulting from the move please contact me from the contact page or open a trouble ticket.

Thanks for your patience,
