Instructions for Adding the Freemind Driver
Created by: Lee LaMont Bell Jr., Last modification: 02 May 2005 (20:47 UTC) by Lee LaMont Bell Jr.
Freemind is another Open Source Application which is gaining acceptance through out the world because of it's flexibility and user-friendlyness. According to the devellopers - Freemind is a mind mapper, and at the same time an easy-to-operate hierarchical editor with strong emphasis on folding. These two are not really two different things, just two different descriptions of a single application. Often used for knowledge and content management.
While all of that may be true - it doesn't really describe what Freemind does. This first example was created in minutes and is a map of the TikiPro Dev-Clyde project on my computer.

In order to display a Freemind file in TikiPro you need to install a driver onto your site. To do this:
- Create a directory named "Drivers" at the same level that all the rest of TikiPro is installed on. As an Example - if TikiPro is installed in the TikiPro directory then it should contain a "blogs", "calendar", "categories", "contacts" (and a lot more) directories. Create the "drivers" directory with them.
- Download the Freemind.jar file and put it in that directory. The file can be downloaded <a class='download' href='http://www.tikipro.org/drivers/freemind.jar'>here</a>
- Use the Liberty Plugin "Freemind". The instructions are given in the editor's Help/Plugins/FreeMind section.
- If you have a number of example files that will be accessed quite often - I would also suggest creating an "Examples" directory to store them in.
Good Luck
