Memory Place / News: Recent posts

In the document section there is now a Guide for Developers (https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=38700&group_id=161316) which contains lots of important information about how the project is organised and the tools which we use. Anyone who wishes to contribute to the project should be familiar with everything in this document. I hope that this will make it much easier for people to become familiar with the project and to collaborate on it.

The database for Memory Place can now be built using Rails Migrations, simply run the command "rake migrate" after checking out the code (the empty database must be created first and database.yml needs to be configured to point to it). rake migrate should be called after each checkout to ensure that you have the latest version of the database.

The code in subversion has also changed a lot, mostly refinements and not new functionality though. I am currently working on the media side of things and expect to be checking in again soon (as soon as I've settled on some filenames and model names).

The first code for Memory Place is now available in Subversion.

To get the SQL to create the first part of the database run:
svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/memoryplace/database/trunk database

To get the rails project code just run:
svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/memoryplace/application/trunk memoryplace

Then just plug this into rails and point it to the database.

Edit (23/03/2006):
You will probably also need to edit memoryplace/public/dispatch.cgi (or .fcgi if you are using FastCGI) to point it to ruby (#!/usr/bin/ruby for me on OSX, and #!C:/InstantRails-1.0/ruby/bin/ruby on WinXP Instant Rails) also, don't forget to set permissions to 755.
