## Open Projects
|
|
|
|
**This configuration is optional.**
|
|
|
|
You can configure your Fab-manager to synchronize every project with the [Open Projects platform](https://github.com/sleede/openlab-projects).
|
|
It's very simple and straightforward and in return, your users will be able to search over projects from all Fab-manager instances from within your platform.
|
|
The deal is fair, you share your projects and as reward you benefits from projects of the whole community.
|
|
|
|
If you want to try it, you can visit [this Fab-manager](https://fablab.lacasemate.fr/#!/projects) and see projects from different Fab-managers.
|
|
|
|
To start using this awesome feature, there are a few steps:
|
|
- send a mail to **contact@fab-manager.com** asking for your Open Projects client's credentials and giving them the name and the URL of your Fab-manager, they will give you an `App ID` and a `secret`
|
|
- fill in the value of the keys in Admin > Projects > Settings > Projects sharing
|
|
- export your projects to open-projects (if you already have projects created on your Fab-manager, unless you can skip that part) executing this command: `bundle exec rails fablab:openlab:bulk_export`
|
|
|
|
**IMPORTANT: please run your server in production mode.**
|
|
|
|
Go to your projects gallery and enjoy seeing your projects available from everywhere ! That's all.

## Plugins
|
|
|
|
Fab-manager has a system of plugins mainly inspired by [Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/discourse) architecture.
|
|
|
|
It enables you to write plugins which can:
|
|
- have its proper models and database tables
|
|
- have its proper assets (js & css)
|
|
- override existing behaviours of Fab-manager
|
|
- add features by adding views, controllers, ect...
|
|
|
|
To install a plugin, you just have to copy the plugin folder which contains its code into the folder `plugins` of Fab-manager.
|
|
|
|
You can see an example on the [repo of navinum gamification plugin](https://github.com/sleede/navinum-gamification)

|
## Single Sign-On
|
|
|
|
Fab-manager can be connected to a [Single Sign-On](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_sign-on) server which will provide its own authentication for the platform's users.
|
|
Currently, OAuth 2 is the only supported protocol for SSO authentication.
|
|
|
|
For an example of how to use configure an SSO in Fab-manager, please read [sso_with_github.md](doc/sso_with_github.md).
