TASA Website

This repo contains the source code for the UC Berkeley Taiwanese American Student Association website. It is currently hosted by the Open Computing Facility.

Conventions

1. Don't do git add . or git add -A, just do git add -u to only add changes for tracked files
2. Don't track files that contain sensitive information such as OAuth keys, API keys, or passwords
3. Keep things as simple as possible, no need to have too many fancy features
4. Try not to edit on the live servers, because that is bad
5. Don't drop a bunch of tables in the sqlite db

Developer Setup

Here is how to set up a local version of the website on your own machine.

1. Clone the repository using git
2. Install virtualenv
3. make venv should create your venv for you, if you need to do anything with that.
4. Make a file called config.yaml at the same level and similar to the config.yaml.template file in tasa_website/. Put in an admin account username, password, secret key, and Facebook API token. These will only be active for your local running instance.
5. make run to start everything locally. You should be able to view your site locally at localhost:5000

Using the site

It's pretty easy to do regular updates etc. with the site.

Login at <site_url>/login and you will get to the admin panel:

Each one of these panes does exactly what you think it does!

For some items e.g. 'View Officers' you can update or delete the officers in the database. Clicking on update opens a handy modal like this

Have fun and don't forget to add your own cool features!
