FMS-Endpoint is a simple open source web application for storing problem reports created by mySociety's FixMyStreet platform. In fact, as it's an Open311 server, it should be happy accepting any reports submitted over the Open311 API.
- if you're running a FixMyStreet deployment already, you don't necessarily need a FixMyStreet endpoint!
FixMyStreet sends reports to the relevant authority/department/council. This is often accomplished by sending an email, but it's usually best if the report can be injected directly into the back-end system. These systems can be large and complex and FixMyStreet can integrate with a growing number of them. The Open311 standard is used by some third parties to simplify this integration process.
However, if you're using FixMyStreet in an environment where the recipient of reports has no established back-end database for collecting reports, FMS-endpoint is a quick solution if you need to get something simple up and running.
FixMyStreet-endpoint is written in PHP using the CodeIgniter framework. You should find it easy to install provided you have access to a webserver and a database.
Although the code generally expects to be running under an Apache webserver with a mySQL database, it's easy to change these things if your system is different -- see the installation documentation:
Installation instructions: See documentation/INSTALL.md
If you're familiar with PHP CodePoint (or possibly just PHP!) you might be able to get things going just by dropping the repository somewhere under your server root.
The FMS-endpoint home page will provide diagnostics even if you've not got the database running, so try hitting that as soon as you get going.
Remember to see documentation/INSTALL.md for details. If the home page seems OK, try clicking on Main site and logging in as the default out-of-the-box administrator:
- username: [email protected]
- password: password
Remember you need to change these values as soon as you're logged in. The home page will tell you how (until you've done it).
The Open311 implementation is nearly all from Philip Ashlock's raw implementation of Open311 GeoReport v2.
