Fireplace/Configuring
Overview
Fireplace has different components that has their own set of configurations, before you make any change to any configuration file please be advised to first backup the original file so in case you fall in a trap it is easier for you to escape out.
Configuring Fireplace
Local Configuration
Fireplace's local configuration is saved under /src/media/js/settings_local.js
or if the file doesn't exists you would find the file as /src/media/js/settings_local.js.dist
, rename this file to settings_local.js
. The only setting you will find in it is the api_url
. The api_url is the network host that is queried for fireplace's data i.e. Categories, Apps, Reviews and Ratings
Suggested Change
The default api_url is set to http://chimney.paas.allizom.org, you can change it to point to flue server running on your localhost i.e. http://localhost:5000 (default flue port is 5000) or to any other server that is capable of sending the data in the prescribed format.
Note: Do not leave a trailing slash at the end of the URL.
define('settings_local', [], function() {
return {
api_url: 'http://localhost:5000'
};
});
