This way we simplify the HTML, which had some `if...else` blocks that were hard to follow because there were opening tags inside these blocks while the closing tags were outside these blocks. We're also making the CSS container-dependent instead of window-dependent. Since there are between one and three elements inside the panel, we accomplish this by making the element with the content take its own line if the width of the panel is smaller than 35rem. Note we're trying to keep the layout similar to what it was; since we're no longer using negative margins (like the ones in the `.row` selector), the votes element now gets a width of 22.5% instead of 25%. Also note we're using the column-gap property for flexbox because the `flex-with-gap` mixin doesn't work so well with elements that have borders. Since the column-gap property for flexbox is now supperted by more than 98% of the browsers (which wasn't the case when we started using the `flex-with-gap` mixin), the `flex-with-gap` mixin has become obsolete. Finally, note we're removing the `max-width: 12rem` rule in the images. I'm not sure why we introduced this rule in the first place, and it didn't play so well to the new layout. I considered using code like `max-width: min(100%, 12rem)`, but, since I'm not sure why `12rem` was there in the first place, I'm not sure whether this approach was better, and it sure made things more complex.
CONSUL DEMOCRACY
Citizen Participation and Open Government Application
This is the opensource code repository of the eParticipation website CONSUL DEMOCRACY, originally developed for the Madrid City government eParticipation website, and currently maintained by the open source software community in collaboration with the CONSUL DEMOCRACY Foundation.
Documentation
Check the ongoing documentation to learn more about how to start your own CONSUL DEMOCRACY fork, install it, customize it and learn to use it as an administrator/maintainer.
CONSUL DEMOCRACY Foundation and project website
You can access the main website of the project at http://consuldemocracy.org where you can find information about the use of the platform, the CONSUL DEMOCRACY Foundation, the global community of users and local partners, news, and ways to get more support or get in touch.
Configuration for development and test environments
NOTE: For more detailed instructions, check the local installation docs.
Prerequisites: install git, Ruby 3.2.7, CMake, pkg-config, Node.js 18.20.3, ImageMagick and PostgreSQL (>=9.5).
Note: The bin/setup command below might fail if you've configured a username and password for PostgreSQL. If that's the case, edit the lines containing username: and password: (adding your credentials) in the config/database.yml file and run bin/setup again.
git clone https://github.com/consuldemocracy/consuldemocracy.git
cd consuldemocracy
bin/setup
bin/rake db:dev_seed
Run the app locally:
bin/rails s
You can run the tests with:
bin/rspec
Note: running the whole test suite on your machine might take more than an hour, so it's strongly recommended that you setup a Continuous Integration system in order to run them using parallel jobs every time you open or modify a pull request (if you use GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, this is already configured in .github/workflows/tests.yml and .gitlab-ci.yml) and only run tests related to your current task while developing on your machine. When you configure the application for the first time, it's recommended that you run at least one test in spec/models/ and one test in spec/system/ to check your machine is properly configured to run the tests.
You can use the default admin user from the seeds file:
user: admin@consul.dev pass: 12345678
But for some actions like voting, you will need a verified user, the seeds file also includes one:
user: verified@consul.dev pass: 12345678
Configuration for production environments
See installer
Current state
Development started on 2015 July 15th. Code was deployed to production on 2015 september 7th to decide.madrid.es. Since then new features are added often. You can take a look at the current features at the project's website and future features at the Roadmap and open issues list.
