Since Opal is highly customizable, you can use it for many different things:
- Directory Website
- Content Management System(CMS)
- Blog
- Image/Video Gallery
- File Download System
- Forum/Discussion Board
- Review/Classifieds Website
- E-Commerce Website/Web Store
Opal is available at the following places:
If you have git installed on your server, you can install it directly from Github. This is highly recommended and makes updating Opal a breeze.
git clone git://github.com/hulihanapplications/Opal.git
Install all of Opal’s required gems using bundler:
cd Opal bundle install
You may get an error here regarding rmagick if you don’t have it already installed. Check out this Wiki Guide for help.
Next, Run these commands (while in the Opal directory) to install Opal’s required stuff (database structure, assets, etc.) in production mode:
bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production LOCALE=en bundle exec rake db:seed RAILS_ENV=production LOCALE=en bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production
These commands will create the database structure of Opal in production mode. If you leave out RAILS_ENV=PRODUCTION, everything will be installed into your development database instead. This will also set up the default admin account, some sample items(you’ll be asked if you want to install sample data), and other stuff to help you get started with Opal. You can also specify the LOCALE parameter to install Opal in a language other than english.
- If you want to automate an Opal installation, or if you just want to bypass prompts(that ask you if you want to install sample data and other stuff: run this command: bundle exec rake db:seed PROMPTS=FALSE)
You can now start Opal using the built-in Rails webserver, WEBrick…
bundle exec rails s -e production
…or any of your other favorite webservers: thin, nginx, apache, mongrel, etc.
- To log in to Opal for the first time, the default Admin username and password is: admin.
If you installed Opal with git, updating is a piece of cake. Go to your Opal directory and run these commands:
git pull origin master # pull the latest stable version of Opal rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
That’s it!
Here’s just a few of the many things you can do with Opal:
- Set up OAuth Authentication to log in through other websites
- Use Amazon S3, Rackspace Cloud Files, etc. to store files
- Create Custom Fields for Items
- Configure Email & Notifications
- Add an ad banner To Opal
- How to Watermark Uploaded Images
Check out the Opal Wiki for more.
You can easily extend and customize Opal with new plugins and themes. Plugins extend Opal’s core functionality and Themes change the appearance of your Opal application.
Opal has a small but dedicated community of designers and coders that create plugins and themes for public use. You can find them on the official Opal website. Check out the guides below to make your own.
