A website that spoils your fictions
#MercrediFiction is an initiative from the French-speaking community on Mastodon that invites
each member of the social network to tell, each Wednesday, a fictive story in (generally)
500-characters or less, with the hashtag - you guessed it! - #MercrediFiction (which may be translated as
#FictionWednesday).
Started very early when the French community landed on Mastodon, the initiative continued its way
and became soon a tradition.
After more than one year of fictions on Mastodon, it became a little difficult to see all new
fictions. Plus, the more time passes, the more the oldest fictions become inaccessible.
The goal of this project is to make it easier to read all the fictions of an author by enhancing
their presentation on a website that makes them more visible.
Note: it is strongly recommended to use Linux (I mean a real one, not a Windows Linux subsystem) or macOS for this.
Installing the project is as easy as any Symfony project. First, install PHP (≥ 7.2), Composer and MySQL or MariaDB. Then:
git clone https://github.com/Deuchnord/mercredifiction.git
NB: if Composer complains about the
php /path/to/composer.phar install
APP_ENV environment variable not defined, just export APP_ENV="dev", then clear the cache with php bin/console console:cache.DATABASE_URL variable in your .env file (line 23) to reflect your configuration. This file is personal and must not be pushed to the Git repository.
php bin/console doctrinecreate
That’s it, now you have a fresh install! Even if it is usable as it, it does not contain anything for now. Feel free to add manually some data in the database!
There are plenty of ways to contribute to this project:
If you decide to contribute to the code, think to ensure that your code meets the coding standards by simply invoking the following command:
php /path/to/composer.phar run-script php-cs-fixer
This will modify the files so that they meet the coding recommandations for a Symfony application. If the coding standard are not met, your pull request will fail at the continuous-integration testing and your branch will not be mergeable.
This project follows the all-contributors
specification. Contributions of any kind are welcome!
