FOIA 2.0 (DOJ/Acquia)

DOJ FOIA Project

The DOJ FOIA project's larger purpose is to create a single, unified portal for the submission of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. This code base's part in that larger goal is to create a Drupal backend which will be accessed by a front-end being developed by 18F.

The backend is currently implemented on the Lightning distro, stealing numerous approaches/configurations from the Reservoir project

BLT

Please see the BLT documentation for information on build, testing, and deployment processes.

Local setup

Follow steps 1-5 from the initial setup section in BLT's docs, as well as 1-3 from the VM steps. Note that you do not need to follow the steps to install npm/nvm on your host machine. If we end up working frontend tasks, these steps can take place within the VM.

VM-related software version suggestions:

• Virtualbox - 6.0.8
• Vagrant - 2.2.2
• Ansible - 2.8.1

Also, be sure to have Vagrant plugins installed:

• vagrant-auto_network (1.0.3, global)
• vagrant-exec (0.5.3, global)
• vagrant-hostmanager (1.8.9, global)
• vagrant-hostsupdater (1.1.1.160, global)
• vagrant-share (1.1.9, global)
• vagrant-vbguest (0.19.0, global)

To export to Word docs via PHPDocX locally:

• Replace the symlink in docroot/libraries with a downloaded copy of PHPDocX which supports PHP namespaces.
• Ensure an activated license key is set in the phpdocxconfig.ini file.
• You may also need to reprovision your environment to ensure that the ZipArchive and Tidy PHP extensions are enabled
  vagrant reload --provision
