AUFS Website

This is the source code for AUFS' website (Aberdeen University's Filmmaking Society). It serves to inform the public on our films, who we are, what we do, and also serves as a platform to very easily and quickly run internal polls during our meetings.

This project is maintained by the AUFS commitee.

Debugging

In order to run a copy on your local machine, all the environment variables need to be set, and logging into the admin panel requires addingd an entry to your hosts file redirecting the aufilmmaking.com domain to 127.0.0.1 (localhost). The URL_START environment variable can then be set to http://aufilmmaking.com.

The real domain ends with .co.uk, but .com is also registered as a valid redirect for the Google login OAuth.
