Welcome to the new open source project!
YouHighFiveMe is a web application which allows people to create their profile and let other people give them credit, or high fives, for their events such as community help, conference talks or any other type of activity they do.
Over time, user's will get their asset page generated with lot's of references from people. This can be viewed as less formal referral list than on curriculum vitae, but it can be added as a personal asset.
#Installation
Clone this project into your development environment.
$ git clone https://github.com/YouHighFiveMe/youhighfiveme.git
Now go to your newly created directory.
Copy the distribution file for the parameters to your local file:
$ cp app/config/parameters.yml-dist app/config/parameters.yml
Modify the parameters.yml to reflect your database connections and smtp settings.
If you don't have Composer yet, download it following the instructions on http://getcomposer.org/ or just run the following command:
$ curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Then, use the install command to install all dependancies:
$ php composer.phar install
After all dependancies are installed, make sure your app/cache and app/logs folder have write access and run the following commands:
$ app/console doctrine:database:create
$ app/console doctrine:schema:create
You should now have a working application environment.
#Database migrations
This app comes bundled with Doctrine Migrations bundle, which simplifies the process of keeping database structure in sync with multiple developers and production environment.
Migrations bundle checks the structure of your entities and does it's magic based on that information.
You should create migration script after you are done with adding/dropping or renaming tables, table columns or constraints.
$ app/console doctrine:migrations:diff
New migration scripts appear when you pull new code from Github. To see if there are any new migrations available, you need to check the status.
$ app/console doctrine:migrations:status
If you see new migrations available, all you have to do is run the migrations.
$ app/console doctrine:migrations:migrate
You should now have your database in an updated state with up-to-date structure that corresponds with application's entity classes.
#Initializing database
If you wish to erase data in the database and create a new fresh instance of database with dummy data and three users, run the fixtures command:
$ app/console doctrine:fixtures:load
NOTE: This will erase all data and create new dummy data. However, this process will not recreate the structure of the database. If you wish to update schema before you run fixtures, use following routine:
$ app/console doctrine:schema:drop --force
$ app/console doctrine:schema:create
Loading fixtures as described earler, three user account are created: dev1, dev2 and dev3. Passwords for these users are the same as the usernames respectively.
#Testing
We strongly encourage you to practice test driven development and write those unit tests for the code you make. As we have multiple developers involved, it is crucial that we make sure the application code is working.
To run a test, go to your project's folder and run following command:
$ phpunit -c app src/Portal
#IRC
You can catch us on IRC as this is the channel where most of the talk about development and other things related to YouHighFiveMe reside at.
Channel: #youhighfive.me @ freenode.net
#Contributing
Anyone is free to join the team and develop YouHighFiveMe. Just introduce yourself to us on IRC and let us know what issue from the Github's issue list you are willing to work on.
Enjoy and welcome to the project!
