setting up Firepad with own Firebase and unique URL (confused)

[Jaume Ferrete]

Hello!

I've been looking for a collaborative online pad with rich text and images and I found it in Firepad, thanks for this very interesting piece of software.

I am trying to set up a firepad on my own web hosting, and I think I accomplished that except that I do not undersrtand how to get unique URL's to share the pad with others. The steps I followed were:

- Create a folder in my web hosting space

- Download Firepad from Github

- Copy the following files to my web hosting folder:

userlist.html

firepad-userlist.css

firepad-userlist.js

- Rename the userlist html to 'index.html'

- Visit the folder with the browser: it generates a unique URL that allows me to share the pad and collaborate, great!

- BUT since it is using the demo firebase after a while the contents are deleted

So:

- I sign up for my own firebase account and create a project

- In my index html (previously userlist example) provide my firebase project url in this manner:

//// Initialize Firebase.

      var firepadRef = new Firebase('https://myprojectname.firebaseio.com/');

&&

  // Helper to get hash from end of URL or generate a random one.

    function getExampleRef() {

      var ref = new Firebase('https://myprojectname.firebaseio.com/');

- Visit again the folder with the browser: it seems to be working except:

1- no unique URL is generated, and so sharing the URL does not allow for collaboration (it just generates a new pad every time someone visits it... forever alone in the userlist)

2- I receive the following console errors (referencing to firebase.js:36)

firebase.js:36 FIREBASE WARNING: set at /users/5499139141/cursor failed: permission_denied 

firebase.js:36 FIREBASE WARNING: set at /users/5499139141/color failed: permission_denied 

firebase.js:36 FIREBASE WARNING: set at /users/5499139141/cursor failed: permission_denied 

firebase.js:36 FIREBASE WARNING: set at /users/5499139141/color failed: permission_denied 

firebase.js:36 FIREBASE WARNING: set at /users/5499139141/name failed: permission_denied 

firebase.js:36 FIREBASE WARNING: set at /users/5499139141/cursor failed: permission_denied 

The results I expected would be to get a unique URL as when using the demo firebase, so I can share the pad and collaborate.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you very much for your help.
