Hey Joe!
Thanks for the comments - its way better than it was. Here’s a bit of background -
It’s a fork of Build Brighton Membership System: github.com/ArthurGuy/BBMembershipSystem/
However! Early on, apparently some secrets were accidentally committed to the repo, and in rewriting history, something must have happened which broke the upstream connection, so now it’s a private repo living at
github.com/hacmanchester/membership-system
This isn’t ideal - but as I don’t know specifically what happened so I can’t say if we are good to make the repo public - I recently rotated a load of API keys so it should be safe to do so.
I tried a few times to pull in upstream changes to rehestablish the remote, but we had merge hell with thousands of conflicts, some quite complex. Someone else tried too which was great but it was the same issue - too many conflicts to reasonably sort out.
Since then I’ve taken it under my wing a bit - adding and improving various bits over time pretty much across the whole system.
We have a few people interested in helping with development but I need to ask again to get people added to the repo - would you like access too? I think the more people using and importantly documenting the system the better - it’s good and it works but it’s a bit of an enigma at first.
I’m happy to help if you’d like to get it up and running for your space - it’s based on a fairly old version of Laravel and takes some time setting up and getting a schema sorted in the database but it could be a good exercise in properly documenting it, as there was no documentation available when it was set up here.
If you want to get going maybe clone the Build Brighton one and see how you get on, or just have a look round to see how it works and if it’s suitable for yourselves.
We have a working group for our copy of the membership system on Telegram so we could add you there and work on getting access to everyone who wants it, and getting you guys set up
