Locale and sample data

If you just need to have some sample data, run bundle exec rake ofn:sample_data and it will do the trick, otherwise continue reading, please.

Data importation

Following the defaults in this guide will result in an instance configured for Australia. While this is sufficient for most development work, it is often useful to have a development environment set up for another locale. Managers of other OFN instances may be able to provide dumps of sample data that can be used. These can be set up as follows:

1. Obtain a database dump e.g. foo.sql.gz.
2. From a terminal, in the OFN repository root directory, run script/restore.sh foo.sql.gz
3. Run rails runner script/prepare_imported_db.rb to disable some production payment settings.
4. Run rake db:migrate to migrate any database changes since the dump.
5. If you don't have admin credentials for the data you can set up your own super-admin user by running rake spree_auth:admin:create and following the prompts.

Localization

Finally, if the data are from a non-Australia locale, change config/application.yml appropriately, e.g.:

TIMEZONE: London
# Default country for dropdowns etc. See for codes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1
DEFAULT_COUNTRY_CODE: GB
# Locale for translation.
LOCALE: en-GB
# Spree zone.
CHECKOUT_ZONE: UK
# Find currency codes at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217.
CURRENCY: GBP

In development, since July 2021 it is also necessary to adapt .env.development.local. Note that this one is not a yaml file. Bellow is a sample of a development environment where default language is set to French, and where language menu will display English, Esperanto and French:

LOCALE="fr"
AVAILABLE_LOCALES="en,eo,fr"

The Rails server must be rebooted to take this configuration into consideration.
