CMS

The CMS behind CodePilot.

It was built in a weekend.

Installing CodePilot CMS

This project is currently in heavy development and things might be horribly broken. Make sure you have Node.js (& NPM), MySQL, and Redis installed and running.

1. Copy app/config.example.json to app/config.json. In app/config.json, fill in your MySQL details, Twitter OAuth information, and S3 details. If the database schema changes, open app/models/index.js and set the forceDatabaseUpgrade property to true. Restart the server, and the dabatase will be wiped and updated to the new schema, and seeded with dummy data.
2. Run npm install This'll take a while as it fetches CodePilot's dependencies.
3. Run npm start. Assuming everything is okay, you'll be able to access CodePilot at http://localhost:3000/.
4. If you want data to be seeded on database upgrade, copy app/models/fixtures.example.json to app/models/fixtures.json. You can modify app/models/fixtures.json as necessary to change the dummy data to fit your needs. (Optional)

When you make a change, you will have to stop the server by pressing ^C, and then start it up again.

Common Errors and how to fix them

TypeError: Uncaught, unspecified "error" event.

This is most likely caused because your MySQL server is not running. Start the server and try again.

Error: OAuthStrategy requires session support. Did you forget app.use(express.session(...))?

This is caused by your Redis server not running. Start your Redis server using the redis-server command and try again.

TypeError: Cannot read property 'sequelize' of undefined

b36b0b introduced a new config option.

Update your config.json file to match the latest config.example.json template.
