Get Started

Install

• install npm and meteor
• clone this repo and run npm i and meteor
• open http://localhost:3000 on your browser

Manage Admin User

Now you can see nearly nothing. You will want to config yours site. But before that, you need to create an admin user.

• goto /signup page, and create a user
• find this user in mongodb and add field "roles": {"__global_roles__": ["Admin"]}

Now you have an admin user. You can login through /login page, logout through /logout page, and change password through /change-password page.

Note: If you lost a user, you have to remove it from db and create a new one.

Manage System

With admin user logged in, you can manage the system (site, app, whatever) through /admin page.

Note: by now, most of the settings are json objects or arrays of json objects. If you are not familiar with json, you should have a quick learning.

Here is a list of what you can set: todo

Manage Posts

You can create, update, publish/unpublish, remove posts through /blog/admin page.

Note: to make this app 'lite', it doesn't support file storage by now. So you will need to save your images and videos in some other places, and refer to them through url in your posts. Though you may use base64 to embed image into text, I think it's a bad idea unless the image is small enough.

Todo

• deploy a demo site

• upload more docs

• plan and develop more features

• add settings doc

• support some chinese social comment system

• support tag, sort, featured image, search

• with featured image, index page can auto-generate content
