3000 Acres will connect people to land, to resources and to each other.

We want to unlock the acres of underutilised land locked behind chainlink fences. Bring urban farming to sites awaiting development and activate our rooftops.

Notes on setting up the app:

Via the rails console, find the user you want, eg:

u = User.find_by_name('Skud')

Then do:

u.add_role :admin

Sign in as an admin user, then go to the CMS admin page (/cms-admin) and set up as follows:

• A site called "topnav", identifier "topnav", path "/"

• A layout called "default", using the application layout

  • If you want to set up a "title" field for each page, make your layout's content read something like:

    <h1>
    {{ cms:page:title:string }}
    </h1>
    
    {{ cms:page:content:text }}
    

  • Now when you create/edit a page, you'll see a field where you can enter the page title.

  • This title will then be included in the HTML title (used by the browser etc)

• Under pages, set up:

  • A top-level page called "topnav"
  • Under that, any pages that you want to appear in the top navbar, eg. "About", "Donate", etc.

All this "topnav" guff is required to get the pages to show up automatically in the top navigation bar.

3000 Acres is a Ruby on Rails 4 app. Feel free to fork it and play with it, raise issues and pull requests against the code, etc. You may also like to check out our higher-level task tracker where the project planning takes place.
