CoderDojo Zen

Initially a basic Dojo listing manager. We plan to enhance and add features down the line. You can help us make it better by forking this project, adding stuff and then issuing a pull request back to us!

Some things to add/hack/dream about

• User settings
• Improved admin panel
• Improved overall Dojo list w/ search
• Mutliple admins on a Dojo
• If country == US, have states also.

Zen is built on and uses:

• CodeIgniter http://codeigniter.com/
• Tank Auth http://www.konyukhov.com/soft/tank_auth/
• Twitter Bootstrap http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/

Local deployment notes

• Create a MySQL database:
  • install mysql-server
  • create a database
  • sudo mysqladmin create dojozen
  • create a user (choose a password different than '1234')
  • echo "grant all privileges on dojozen.* to 'dojozen'@'localhost' identified by '1234'" | sudo mysql dojozen
  • create an empty database
  • mysql dojozen --user=dojozen -p < schema.sql
  • fill in the details in '/application/config/development/database.php'.
• enter an encryption key in '/application/config/development/config.php' on line 227
• Configure a webserver
  • install apache (sometimes known as 'httpd')
  • add a new configuration file at /etc/httpd/conf.d/zen.conf. If this apache instance is not going to serve any other sites you can safely set it like this, otherwise you need vhosts:

    <Directory /home/arnouten/dev/Zen/web>
      AllowOverride All
      Require all granted
    </Directory>
    #Alias /Zen /home/arnouten/dev/Zen
    DocumentRoot /home/arnouten/dev/Zen/web

• Note .htaccess is used to mask the 'index.php' part of the URL, depending on your set up, you may need to edit this.
