    todo:  seed lat/lng coordinates, change graphics, center map on Raleigh, config email server, get a decent url name

  • Also see buglist for adding city_id, lat, lng to attr in things.rb model
  • edited /home/xfinger/adopt-a-hydrant/app/mailers/thing_mailer.rb to make the from address a cor address
  • edit /home/xfinger/adopt-a-hydrant/app/views/thing_mailer/reminder.text.erb
  • configure email (smtp) in config/environments/production.rb
  • center map on Raleigh - inside main.js.erb in /assets/javascripts

 

--Become an admin of the site

app/assets/javascripts/main.js.erb  -  edit line 2 to LatLng(35.7719, -78.6389);  to center your map in raleigh.
config/initializers/locals/en.yml  -  edit the defaults info to change address city state ... these show up on the left hand info panel
the app uses rails_admin gem (https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin) for administration stuff.  It's at url/admin but you have to be an admin to access it. To become an admin, open a rails console (just type 'rails console' at command line) and do User.find(:all). Find your user id (probably 1 if you are the first or only user in the db). Now type a=User.find(1). Then a.admin = true. Then a.save. You should now be an admin.
If you look at the admin panel there is a place to create reminders and send them to users but I couldn't get it to work. It requires a from user field but the drop down selector did not show up on mine so it kept throwing an error. I will look into it. That didn't work so I wasn't able to test out the email stuff. The app didn't have mailer.yml file in the config directory -  seems to me that you need it but they may have set things up differently.
If you have trouble seeding in production let me know, I had to tweak the model to get it to work.
