Logon to your SetupCase control panel (click here to sign-up for your account)

• Enable SSH (Control panel -> SSH Access -> SSH access is disabled -> Click Enable)
• Activate Wget/Curl (Control panel -> SSH Access -> Network tools -> Enable)
• Create sub-domains (Control panel -> Sub Domains -> Create 'test' & 'repos')
• Activate Git Repo (Control panel -> Git -> fill in form)
  • Domain: choose your main domain
  • Sub-domain choose 'repos'
  • Leave 'web access path' blank'
  • Name: use your project name
  • Desc: A short desc about your project

NOTE: Copy down the Web Address, username and password after the Git repo is created for step 4

Each project create a new subdomain (Control panel -> Sub Domains -> Create 'projectName')

Open your favourite browser and type into the address bar

http://test.domain.com/sourceFiles

You should see the SetupCase Success screen. You are now ready to modify with your own website !

Setup sFTP on your IDE

Using PHPstorm:
- Tools -> Development -> Browser Remote Host -> click '...'
- Name: test (type: sFTP - ssh over FTP)
- SSH configuration - click '...'
- Create new config with "+"
HOST: test.domain.com (replace domain with your server domainname)
USER: server username (included in your welcome package)
AUTHENTICATION TYPE: Key Pair
PRIVATE KEY FILE: click folder to navigate to private key 
PASSPHRASE: Optional
- Click 'Test Connection' to ensure you can connect to the test server

Test modifying a file on your computer and see the changes right away on your test server

Before we start any programming, we first must create our Visual Layout Clickthrough.

Download a layout from your favourite Bootstrap layout supplier. GrayGrids is a great company which you can download beautiful professional layouts to create your visual clickthroughs. 

This is a crutial step as it allows you to link together all the visual pages with finalized visuals and add mock-features which outline what programming needs to be completed. You and your team can revise the visuals as much as needed until everything is thought through and approved.

Now you can move on to the programming stage confidently knowing all the programming that will be developed has been throughly brainstormed and this ensures the programming scope won't change after it is started.

Because they have been added to webroot, this means you can view the entire layout in your browser

http://localhost/modules/layoutSourceFiles

All the source files we added to our layout reference files which are located in our modules directory
-> So we are going to simply create a variable the allows us to reference the corrrect location.

In your PagesController.php (or AppController.php) file

function beforeFilter() {
   $this->set('baseLayout', Router::url('/').'modules'.DS.'layout'.DS);
}

Now in the layout file (/src/templates/newLayout.php)

Find and replace the following:

FIND src=" REPLACEWITH src="<?= $baseLayout; ?>
FIND href=" REPLACEWITH href="<?= $baseLayout; ?>

Create all the visual pages by doing the following

Create a new function in the controller AND create a new view page

Use our CodeBlocks to convert your approved visuals into working software.

https://codeblocks.setupcase.com

Search for the specific code fragments in order to convert the finalized visuals into working systems

Now we are ready to connect a database to our software application, which will enable us to save data and interact with previously saved data. 

Copy the file "sourceFiles/config/app_local.php"
- Save it as app_LOCATION.php (name is to indicate where it will be used eg app_LIVE or app_TEST or app_CLIENTLOCATION)
-> You now have a newly created file app_LOCATION.php
-> We will now modify this file: Find 'datasources' and modify the url array value
-> You are adding on get_cfg.... which will allow to get the credentials from your server

'Datasources' => [
   'default' => [
      'url' => get_cfg_var('PROJECTNAME.Datasources.default.url'),
   ],
],

Now we need to configure our software to swtich to the correct file in the 'bootstrap.php' file (sourceFiles/config/bootstrap.php)

Find " * Load an environment local configuration file to provide overrides to your configuration." and connect that function name
-> Replace with this instead

$setupCase = new \App\Util\SetupCase;
$activeIs = $setupCase->env_getActive();
if ($activeIs == 'UNDOWEB') {
    Configure::load('app_LOCATION', 'default');
} elseif ($activeIs == 'LIVE') {
    dd('not setup yet');
} else {
    dd('unknown env to setup ?');
}

Open SourceFiles/src/Util/SetupCase.php -> var $liveDomains
-> Add your domain of your location with a name

    var $liveDomains = [
        //domain => //NAME
       'test.server.com' => 'TEST',
        'live.com' => 'LIVE',
    ];

Create a new database with phpMyAdmin on your server
-> name it with prefix_PROJECTNAME_testing
-> testing is important so you will always know it's not a live db when working on it

On your server in the PHP.ini (GLOBAL) file you need to add the following:

PROJECTNAME.Datasources.default.url = mysql://USER:PASS@localhost/DB_NAME

First we must configure out settings.json file to connect with our target server.

Follow the detailed instructions on our source code page

Navigate to the 'launchPad' directly.

cd /launchPad

After all the changes have been completed it is time to post our changes to the LIVE server
-> We first upload our changes to our STAGING server
-> This ensures our project is fully functional, connects properly with any database, etc.
-> This link can be shared with a client who can verify the new version before going LIVE
