POW! Comic Book Manager

A Bootstrap PHP/MySQL web application for maintaining a comic book collection database.

Requirements

• PHP Web Server
• mySQL

Installation

• Clone repository to web directory
• Import .sql file to comicdb database
• Change $allowRegistration to "yes" in admin/register.php in order to create the initial user
• edit database connection info in config/db.php

Development

The site is written in PHP, with Sass (SCSS) for styling and importing Bootstrap 3 for grid/responsive development.

Global Development Requirements

• Local PHP Server (LAMP/MAMP)
• Node.js v5 and up
• Grunt-js
• Ruby
• Sass (Ruby)

Local Development Setup

• Navigate to site directory
• Edit gruntfile.js and verify that the PHP server/proxy path from LAMP/MAMP is correct.
• In terminal, run npm install. This will install grunt-contrib-sass (Sass compiler), grunt-autoprefixer (CSS Autoprefixer), grunt-browser-sync (Browser Sync), grunt-contrib-watch (Watch tasks), grunt-notify (Notifier), and node-sass (Node Ruby Sass support).
• To run development mode (with watch tasks and auto browser refreshing) run grunt. Upon saving any changes in PHP or JS, the browser will refresh the page automatically. For SCSS/CSS updated stylesheets will be injected without a refresh.
• To just recompile all SCSS files, run grunt build
