This is how it’s supposed to work, however it doesn’t work right now. Anyway you should create a site council if you don’t want your site’s network settings to be altered. Enable super_admin to configure the site and disable it once you got everything set up.
- Put your database configuration in config/database.yml
- setup the database:
rake db:schema:load
rake db:migrate
rake cg:load_default_data - Edit “config/crabgrass.production.yml” to your needs (remove or comment the super_admin line to disable it)
- run the following for every site you configured:
rake cg:site:create NAME=name-of-the-site - now fire up “script/console” and do the following (for each site)
Site.find_by_name("name-of-the-site").update_attributes!(:domain => "your.domain.name", :title => "Title for the site", :default => false)
set :default to “true” instead if you want this site to be used for all domains where no site is configured. - For every site which needs a site home, you need to create a network. Create them via your browser now.
Make sure to remember the “Link Name” of those networks, as you need them now.
Site.find_by_name("name-of-the-site").update_attributes!(:network => Network.find_by_name("link-name-of-network"), :has_networks => false)
Set :has_networks to “true” if you want users of that site to be able to create new networks.
- Now restart crabgrass and visit one of your sites. If the network is configured correctly you should see the “Home” tab
in the navigation now. - If you navigate to that “Home” tab, you will find a link “Network Settings” on the right bottom. Go there and switch
to “Permissions” tab. Click “Create a new council” and enter a name. Now members of this council should be able to
reach the “/admin” tab.
