stories should either be reported for spam (coming later), upvoted, or left alone rather than being downvoted for being uninteresting. since users don't like leaving uninteresting things alone, they can now hide stories from their view without affecting the story's score. hiding is implemented as a Vote with its vote set to 0 and the reason set to "H" add a /hidden url which shows all of a user's hidden stories while i'm here, simplify Vote guts and add some tests to make sure all the flip-flopping stuff works right |

###Lobsters Rails Project
This is the source code to the site operating at https://lobste.rs. It is a Rails 4 codebase and uses a SQL (MariaDB in production) backend for the database and Sphinx for the search engine.
While you are free to fork this code and modify it (according to the license) to run your own link aggregation website, this source code repository and bug tracker are only for the site operating at lobste.rs. Please do not use the bug tracker for support related to operating your own site unless you are contributing code that will also benefit lobste.rs.
####Contributing bugfixes and new features
Please see the CONTRIBUTING file.
####Initial setup
-
Install Ruby. Supported Ruby versions include 1.9.3, 2.0.0 and 2.1.0.
-
Checkout the lobsters git tree from Github
$ git clone git://github.com/jcs/lobsters.git $ cd lobsters lobsters$
-
Run Bundler to install/bundle gems needed by the project:
lobsters$ bundle
-
Create a MySQL (other DBs supported by ActiveRecord may work, only MySQL and MariaDB have been tested) database, username, and password and put them in a
config/database.yml
file:development: adapter: mysql2 encoding: utf8mb4 reconnect: false database: lobsters_dev socket: /tmp/mysql.sock username: *username* password: *password* test: adapter: sqlite3 database: db/test.sqlite3 pool: 5 timeout: 5000
-
Load the schema into the new database:
lobsters$ rake db:schema:load
-
Create a
config/initializers/secret_token.rb
file, using a randomly generated key from the output ofrake secret
:Lobsters::Application.config.secret_token = 'your random secret here'
-
(Optional, only needed for the search engine) Install Sphinx. Build Sphinx config and start server:
lobsters$ rake ts:rebuild
-
Define your site's name and default domain, which are used in various places, in a
config/initializers/production.rb
or similar file:class << Rails.application def domain "example.com" end def name "Example News" end end Rails.application.routes.default_url_options[:host] = Rails.application.domain
-
Create an initial administrator user and at least one tag:
lobsters$ rails console Loading development environment (Rails 3.2.6) irb(main):001:0> u = User.new(:username => "test", :email => "test@example.com", :password => "test", :password_confirmation => "test") irb(main):002:0> u.is_admin = true irb(main):003:0> u.is_moderator = true irb(main):004:0> u.save irb(main):005:0> t = Tag.new irb(main):006:0> t.tag = "test" irb(main):007:0> t.save
-
Run the Rails server in development mode. You should be able to login to
http://localhost:3000
with your newtest
user:lobsters$ rails server
