how to implement customising pages ?!??!?! i have some ideas. some day

dev set up (windows)

after cloning, run py -3 -m venv .venv in the root directory and then .venv\Scripts\activate
then pip install Flask inside the virtual env
you might also need to init a database, so use flask --app myriad init-db
to start the site use flask --app myriad run --debug

do not deploy this way, the packaged flask server is not secure. production instructions will be provided when the project is ready

you will need to run .venv\Scripts\activate from the folder every time you start working on it
re-building the entire database with flask --app myriad init-db (losing all the data inside) will be necessary as development continues. DO NOT STORE ANYTHING IMPORTANT DURING DEVELOPMENT
start the site with flask --app myriad run --debug as usual

prod set up

not ready yet

config

create config.py in the instance folder and customise the following settings to your needs

REGISTRATION = True # Make sure to disable in production
ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS = {'png', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif'} # Can be anything you want
ICON_UPLOAD_FOLDER = 'myriad/static/icons' # where member icons will be stored
BLINKIES_UPLOAD_FOLDER = 'myriad/static/blinkies' # where site assets "blinkies" will be stored
STAMPS_UPLOAD_FOLDER = 'myriad/static/stamps' # where site assets "stamps" will be stored
INLINE_UPLOAD_FOLDER = 'myriad/static/inline' # where site assets "misc inline" will be stored
MISC_UPLOAD_FOLDER = 'myriad/static/misc' # where other small images will be stored

usage

the software here is free to use, and there's no requirement to link back
edit the styles and functionality to suit your needs. i'm sure some of you out there are far better with CSS than I am

dependencies

Flask

the theme editor is pretty ugly right now but it does work
