repo for project CAPx

CAPx Repository

Overview

Develop a website specifically for the CIS 440 Capstone class. The site will allow both students and companies to post project opportunities. In addition, there will be an area that shows various past projects. Students will be able to view all available projects and rank them with a up/downvote system. Students will also be able to sign up for projects directly on the site. Each project will have information provided by the company as well as Dr. Clark's comments. Additionally, each project will have tags, giving a quick overview of the desired coding language, required technologies and other characteristics.

Beta Testing: www.cis440.com

How to Install (without GitHub Login)

Please note that these instructions assume that you have initally set up Heroku with Python on your machine and are able to run Heroku commands from your Terminal application. Please visit Getting Started with Python on Heroku if this has not been set up. Follow the setup instructions through installing the Heroku ToolBelt, which will allow you to use Heroku commands within your terminal application.*

1. Download source from this GitHub repo
2. Create a database on Heroku via your Heroku profile.
3. Using PGAdmin, connect to your Heroku database and modify the following line of code in the app.py, to match your Heroku database variables.
4. With PGAdmin, use the CAPxSQL.sql file to create the correct table, with its attributes, and some dummy data on your Heroku database from steps 2-3.
5. In a new Terminal window, run the following commands: git init, git add -A, git commit -m 'some comment here', heroku create, git push heroku master
6. Now navigate to your Heroku Dashboard > Personal Apps and a new app should be available in the Personal Apps list.
7. When launching the Heroku App from your dashboard, if you receive an application error and are operating under a free Heroku account, you will need to scale the web dynos to one. In order to do this, use the same terminal/command window from step five, and run the following command: heroku ps:scale web=1

How to Install (with GitHub Login)
