Instead of showing the most recent media, archivalook shows +Featured Media on the front page. + +Q: How do I install it? +A: Check out this page for instructions: +http://mediagoblin.readthedocs.org/en/v0.6.1/siteadmin/plugins.html + +Q: I set it up but I still can't feature media, what do I do? +A: So when you first activate this plugin, no users have the proper user +permissions to manage featured media. Below this I'll give instructions of how +to give those permissions to yourself and no one else: + + 1) If you haven't already, create a user for yourself. You can do this + one of two ways + a) you can run your website, visit it, click the link that says `Login` + (in the top right corner), and then click the link that says + `Register`. Enter your information and you now have a user account. + b) you can use the command line tool. in a terminal, navigate to your + mediagoblin directory. run the command + $ ./bin/gmg adduser + and then follow the prompts on screen. + 2) Next, you need to use the command line tool to make yourself an admin. + If you haven't already, navigate to the mediagoblin directory in a + terminal. Once there, run the command + $ ./bin/gmg makeadmin <username> + where instead of <username> you type in your actual username :P + 3) Now you're the admin! Next, you need to run your server. It's fine if + you run it locally, by just running: + $ ./lazyserver.sh + from the mediagoblin directory. Visit the website, and if you click the + downard facing arrow to the top left, you should see that you now have + access to new pages, the very useful moderation panels. Click on the one + labeled `User Moderation Panel`. + 4) You should be directed to a (possibly very short) table of users, find + your own username, and click on it. + 5) Now you see your own `User's Detail Page`. At the bottom you should see + a table of all the things your user has permission to do, including + being active, and being an administrator. You should see that you don't + have permission to feature media. Fix that by clicking the `+` button to + the right of 'Featurer'. + 6) Wooo! Now you can feature and unfeature media! |
