Installation
This is a brief outline of the steps required to get the development environment of Potion Store up and running on your local machine.
-
Edit the following config files to suit your needs
- config/store.yml
- config/paypal.yml
- config/google_checkout.yml
-
Set session store secret Edit config/environment.rb and modify the config.action_controller.session setting
-
Setup database
- Install Postgresql or MySQL if you haven't
- Create the store_development database. Make sure to set the encoding of the database to UTF8. I recommend pgAdmin for Postgresql newcomers.
- Edit config/database.yml
- run "rake db:migrate" to create the database schema
-
Run script/server and test through http://localhost:3000/store and http://localhost:3000/admin
-
Replace the default license key generator in lib/licensekey.rb with your own
-
If you are setting up Google Checkout, log into your Google Checkout account (sandbox or live), go to Settings->Integration and put in your URL that corresponds to the following:
https://secure.potionfactory.com/store/notification/gcheckout
That is the URL that Google uses to make callbacks. If you don't set this up, your customers will not get their orders delivered by email.
Debugging
- gem install ruby-debug
- Put 'debugger' where you want to break in your source code
- Start the app with 'script/server --debugger' to enable breakpoints
Final Notes
I'd appreciate it if you kept the "Powered by Potion Store" link in the footer. It'll help more developers find the project.
