SilverTwit

A social networking platform in SilverStripe

Getting Started

Installation

• Clone the repository
• If you have phing, just run phing to create all the default files needed and skip the following bits
• Otherwise, you'll need to copy the following files manually
  • build/configs/silverstripe/local.conf.sample.php to mysite/local.conf.php
  • build/configs/silverstripe/htaccess.sample to ./.htaccess (note the extra . there)
• Edit mysite/local.conf.php to reflect appropriate DB settings. The following should work for SQLite

    global $databaseConfig;
    $databaseConfig = array(
            "type" => "SQLiteDatabase",
            "server" => "localhost",
            "username" => "",
            "password" => "",
            "database" => "silverstripe",
    );


    Security::setDefaultAdmin('admin', 'admin');
    // Email::setAdminEmail('admin@example.org');
    define('SS_LOG_FILE', dirname(__FILE__).'/'.basename(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))).'.log');

• Edit mysite/local.conf.php and update the 'defaultAdmin' settings
• Create the assets/ directory
• Create an _ss_environment.php file in the root folder with the following

    // Set the $_FILE_MAPPING for running the test cases, it's basically a fake but useful
    global $_FILE_TO_URL_MAPPING;
    $_FILE_TO_URL_MAPPING[dirname(__FILE__)] = 'http://localhost';

• Run dev/build : note that you will NEED to run with '?disable_perms=1' as a parameter to make sure the restrictedobjects module doesn't interfere with things
• All done!

Configuration

A few things will need to be created first, so login to /admin

• Go to Security
• Create a "Members" group
• Go to Settings, and select the permissions tab.
• Add Access Authority -> for Permission select View, for Groups select "Members", click Create
• Go to Pages
• Add new -> Site Dashboard Page -> set name = Site
• On the Home page, change type to "Redirector page" and make it redirect to the 'Site' page
• Remove other pages from the menu
• Add new -> MemberProfilePage -> set name = Profile, just use the default registration options
