Class Request Tool

Description

Class Request Tool is an online tool that allows instructors to request classes in Harvard’s archives and special collections and provides library staff with a centralized means of managing such requests.

Code Repository

https://github.com/berkmancenter/class_request_tool

User Documentation

We're in the process of finalizing user documentation, but once it's up this will get updated with a pointer to it.

Requirements

  • Ruby 1.9.3 and a bunch of gems included in the Gemfile
  • Rails 3.2.11
  • A postgresql 9.x database server. Other databases MAY work (e.g. mysql), but they are untested.
  • A webserver capable of interfacing with Rails applications. Ideally, apache or nginx with mod_passenger installed.
  • Linux or OSX. Linux would be easier.

Setup

  • Install requirements (see above)
  • Checkout the code
    • git clone https://github.com/berkmancenter/class_request_tool
    • cd class_request_tool
  • Install libraries
    • bundle install
  • Configure the database
    • cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
    • Setup a postgres user and update config/database.yml accordingly
    • rake db:create
    • rake db:setup
    • rake db:migrate
  • Modify "config/initializers/crt_init.rb" for your environment
  • Run bootstrap rake tasks for test data:
    • rake crt:bootstrap:run_all
  • Create cron jobs to automatically run rake tasks for sending out notifications:
    • rake crt:cron_task:send_queued_emails
