About

In order to keep your DemocracyOS alive and kicking, you'll need to manage its content. Specifically, you'll need to update it with new laws and update them as well.

This can all be done through standard database querying as shown in the loading fixtures section.

However, for all those non-developers out there, this won't suffice. Luckily, there's an administration module for authorized citizens to manage the site's content without them knowing code at all (though knowing some HTML will help).

[Tutorial] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpVyYYSlRIk&feature=youtu.be): How to use the admin

Useful stuff

• A law has to be created before you can add clauses to it.

• A law has to be published from the admin module before it shows on DemocracyOS.

• A law's summary, as well as its clauses can hold HTML. This is useful for embedding links, images, videos and whatnot to a law's content. Do consider the responsiveness of your additional HTML code.

• Multiple citizens may be authorized to access the administration module by adding their emails to the STAFF env variable, separated by a comma (e.g.: [email protected],[email protected]). If you're using a configuration file, the STAFF setting should be set as a JSON holding these emails (e.g.: STAFF: ["[email protected]", "[email protected]"]).

###Known Issues

Creating a law with a previously used Official ID will fail silently. Until we fix this please try a different Official ID for a new law if creation fails.
