The application was initially created by Andrew LeCody, using the CakePHP framework and is released under the GNU Affero General Public License.
CakePHP is a rapid development framework for PHP which uses commonly known design patterns like Active Record, Association Data Mapping, Front Controller and MVC. Our primary goal is to provide a structured framework that enables PHP users at all levels to rapidly develop robust web applications, without any loss to flexibility.
Installing this application is fairly easy, just follow these steps:
-
Download the latest version with git (
git clone https://github.com/Dallas-Makerspace/Voting) -
In the app/config directory, rename core.php.default and database.php.default to core.php and database.php.default respectively.
-
Modify the core.php and database.php files to suit your environment.
-
Create the appropriate tables in your database. You can do this with the "Console/cake schema create" command or by importing the schema.sql file located in the app/Config/Schema folder.
