This is a uni project done together with two of my classmates. It is a web app built from the ground up that lets users log in and create posts which can be seen by all other users. There is also an admin/moderator function which allows certain selected individuals to moderate posts. Users can also use the Imgflip Meme Generator API to create memes.
This section should list any major frameworks/libraries used to bootstrap your project. Leave any add-ons/plugins for the acknowledgements section. Here are a few examples.
- HTML
- CSS
- PHP
- Deploy it
- Improve UI
- Introduce Dark Mode
This is an example of how you may give instructions on setting up your project locally. To get a local copy up and running follow these simple example steps.
Here is the list of programs that need to be installed to run it:
- ![PHP(check compatibility between PHP version and other programs listed)][php]
- ![wampserver (for windows users)][windows-server]
- ![mampserver (for mac users)][mac-server]
-
After installing all the apps download the source code and move it to the www folder within your wamp/mamp folder (for example C:\wamp64\www).
-
Boot up wamp/mamp and wait for it to fully open.
-
Go to your web browser and access localhost. If that does not work, try localhost:8888.
-
From here you should see a list of projects that are within the wamp/mamp folder. If you see socialapp in there you it means you have completed the previous steps successfully. Huuraay!
-
We must initialize our database. Go to localhost/phpmyadmin/ or localhost:8888/phpmyadmin/ and log in using the username root and no password and press Log In.
-
Once you are in the phpMyAdmin page, create a new database my pressing the New button.
-
Name your database maindb. This makes sure that the code is accessing the right table.
-
The page will then tell you that you have no tables created. Go to the SQL Tab and paste the contents of Database.txt in there and press Go.
-
Now that you have your database and tables set up you are ready to access the site!
-
Access localhost/socialapp or localhost:8888/socialapp.
-
You should be redirected to the home page and from here on out you can use the app!
