The Wealthy Laughing Duck Project

This repository is a duck component. Visit Wealthy Laughing Duck Project for more information.

Symfony Web Application

This duck component is a standalone web application built with symfony PHP framework (version 1.4) and Open Flash Chart. It requires a webserver (e.g. apache) with PHP5 and a SQL database.

Installation

First, run the install shell script:

$ ./install.sh

to fetch symfony sources from github. This script will load the dependency as a git submodule and will set an appropriate branch. Afterwards, project permissions are set (writable on cache and log directories) using symfony command line.

Then, you shall create a database and fill it with data, you'll find helpful scripts in the project/data/sql directory. After this you shall set database permissions in config/databases.yml.

Shared hosting configuration

This project is configured for shared hostings. Check out more information about this configuration on symfony world blog.

Applications

There's no frontend application. Backend app is the default one, it enables users to manage their finances after successful login. There's also an API app that allows external systems to communicate with the system.

Basic API

To access the api, you need to pass appropriate password (Basic HTTP Authentication). The default password (stored in this repo) is: Hm0ByIEe5aGhNdov. You may override it, of course - modify .htpasswd file in this case.

Probably, you'll have to override the AuthUserFile in .htaccess file, since Apache requires absolute path.

Continuous Intergation

Before the tests can be run, few additional steps have to be performed:

• creating empty database
• loading static mysql dump into newly created database
• copying databases.travis.yml configuration file, since travis doesn't support GRANT PRIVILEGES statement
• finally, running all tests (sample unit test and some functional)

Look at travis file for more details.
