Voice of the Consumer (VOC) is a pair of Rails applications collectively capable of first generating and presenting surveys, then collecting and analyzing the results.
This (Admin) application is concerned with the administration interface, including site setup, survey creation and versioning, and results processing. In addition to the administration site, there are some additional task workers in the project which leverage Resque.
The Public application is responsible for presenting surveys and collecting responses.
VOC currently works on Rails 3.0.13 and either MRI Ruby 1.9.3-p194 (Linux only) or the Win32 version of JRuby 1.7.1.
Both versions rely on a database in MySQL 5.1 or greater and Redis, shared between Admin and Public applications.
The Admin application depends on Mongo.
Note: These instructions presume Ruby/JRuby dependencies have already been met and walk through running a development environment only; setting up to run in production requires additional configuration.
More information is provided in the Wiki.
Run bundle install to satisfy gem dependencies.
Check the config/ directory for examples of the YAML configuration files which
need to be in place and generate appropriately.
Edit db/seeds.rb to set the administrative user credentials. It's at the bottom, with the email address sysadmin@YOURCOMPANYURL.com. More admin users can be added to the end of db/seeds.rb prior to running the following commands. Simply copy/paste the section for sysadmin@YOURCOMPANYURL.com.
Run database tasks:
rake db:create
rake db:migrate
rake db:seed
rake db:mongoid:create_indexes
In one command window, start webrick:
rails s webrick -p XXXX
In a second, start a jobs worker. It takes the optional ENV variables NUM_WORKERS and NUM_EXPORT_WORKERS.
rake resque:start_workers
In production, this command can be run:
rake application:start_all
To run the daily reporting tasks, run manually or in a cronjob:
rake reporting:daily
Navigate to the configured port to log into the administration interface.
Follow steps for MRI Ruby, but prepend jruby -S to all rake and
rails commands.
The PDF generating software requires the wkhtmltopdf binary to be manually installed in Windows. It works with version 0.9.6. Uncomment the contents of /config/initializers/pdfkit.rb and fill in the location of the wkhtmltopdf binary.
Windows batch scripts have been provided for use with Tomcat (or other Java Servlet container.)
If an admin user is needed, it can be added through the rails console. This method should only be used if unable to log into the website as an admin user. If able to log in as an admin user, add new users by clicking on the Manage Users tab on the website.
For MRI Ruby, run rails console on the command line. For JRuby, run jruby -S rails console. This will open a new console for interacting with the application. To exit the console, type exit. To add a new admin user, type the following (with the various fields replaced as needed).
.create(:email => "sysadmin@YOURCOMPANYURL.com", :f_name => "System",
:l_name => "Administrator", :password => "password",
:password_confirmation => "password", :role => Role::ADMIN)
To use branding, uncomment the branding section in config/app_config.yml:
anding: # optional block, defaults shown
css-filename: application # (minus the .css extension)
header-layout: voc_header
footer-layout: voc_footer
Place the branded css file in public/stylesheets/your_stylesheet_name.css. The branded headers and footers go in app/views/layouts/_your_header_or_footer_name.html.erb.
