portland-2030

This is the source code for the test website of the Active 20-30 Club of Portland #122, built in PHP and CodeIgniter on the backend and JS/jQuery on the frontend, using MySQL for the database. Major site updates are uploaded to the live site on an ad hoc basis.

Included Directories

• /_ci -- The global system directory
  • Contains shared CI system files used by both test and prod sites (excluded)
    • Each CI version is stored in a separate directory (e.g., /_ci/2.1.4 for CI v2.1.4 files) -- allows me to upgrade CI versions independently on test and prod; current CI version is 2.2.6.
  • Contains global.php, which sets sitewide constants and forces a timezone in case the server's TZ isn't set properly
  • Contains keys.php (excluded), which stores public/private API keys for third-party libraries as constants
• /test -- The test website, excluding any unaltered CI app files
