This is the source code for the Swetugg website. See anything broken? Why not send a PR? :)

A possibly working sample of this is published to http://swetuggpreview.azurewebsites.net/start. If you want admin privileges to try it out, create an account and ping me @CodingInsomnia on Twitter.

You should be able to start up an empty version of the swetugg site simply by hitting F5 in Visual Studio. This will create a local database using Entity Framework Code First Migrations. However, since the database will be empty you won't be able to actually browse to the frontpage. The first thing you should do is to make sure the database is seeded with a default admin account:

In Visual Studio, open up the Package Manager Console and run:

Update-Database

The entry point to the admin backend is found at /start. In order to do anything you have to have an account, the default admin account is info@swetugg.se with password ChangeMe.123.

The first thing you need to do is to create a conference. You do this by selecting Admin->Conferences on the top menu, then hitting the New conference button and filling out the form. Be careful when you choose the "slug", as this will need to be matched with the name of an area route in your app.

Once the conference is created, you'll end up on the main admin page for it. This is where you'll find links to manage speakers and sessions as well as setting up rooms and finally the schedule.

Anyone can create an account on the conference site and get access to the Call For Papers (found at /cfp). There they can add a bio, contact information and any number of sessions.

A conference manager can (via the main conference admin page) review all submissions to the CFP and promote any speaker and sessions to the conference. Promoting a speaker/session creates a link between the CFP entry and the conference entry. If the CFP entry is changed, the conference entry can be updated by hitting the Update button.

There are a few things that needs to be set up in order for the web site to work completely.

The connection string named DefaultConnection is used as the main database for the Swetugg site. By default this is a local SQL Express file placed in the App_Data folder. If running SQL Server 2014 then change Data Source=(LocalDb)\v11.0; to Data Source=(LocalDb)\v12.0; in the DefaultConnection connection string. SQL2014 doesn't create a local db instance some cases, you can resolve that by running sqllocaldb create "v12.0" from administrator command prompt.

Speaker images are uploaded to Azure Blob storage if the StorageConnection connection string is set correctly

<!-- Connection to Blob storage for images etc -->
<add name="StorageConnection" connectionString="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName={account-name};AccountKey={account-key}" />

There are entries in web.config to enable login via 3rd party providers such as Facebook and Google. To enable each provider, set its corresponding Enabled-setting to true and fill out the different keys. For more information on how to get the keys, see this article
