This meteor-starter is a very good boilterplate template for starting off the work. Thank you for sharing it.

Wondering what is the best way to start building on this though. For example, to customize the dashboard one can go ahead and change dashboard.html and / or add new templates to it. However, if after sometime a new version of 'meteor-starter' gets released it would become a big 'merge-mess' to quickly update the user-customized code to use the latest version of the starter template.

Not sure if it is possible, but it would be great if some kind of separation can be achieved between the original 'meteor-starter' files and user customized code.

For example, something like the {{> yield}} feature where some static code inside the "meteor-starter" files will pickup the user portion of the code put in some separate file and controlled through configuration files.

Or some kind of #include<> kind of mechanism??

https://atmospherejs.com/useraccounts/bootstrap

I see that meteor-starter is already using LESS, which (I guess) makes it easy for 'theme switching' for boostrap UI frontend.

Since this is a startup helper template users build on, it would be great if users are allowed complete customization of their frontend (in a single place).

Towards that purpose, requesting to consider the below:

1. bootstrap-variables.less presently have most of the less configurations commented out - may be they should all be uncommented and exposed for user
2. Presently only one primary color brand-primary is being used - please consider adding brand-secondary color option also.
3. Not sure how they do it - but some of the bootstrap themes out there has this nice Change Skin option that dynamically changes the complete UI colors (on the fly). It would be a gread value-add to have that (to build demo sites and all).

Looks like the latest version of meteor breaks this app after you try to register the app restarts and this is printed in the console:

Fresh git clone of latest version is giving this below error when running 'meteor'.

Could not resolve the specified constraints for this project:
Error: unknown package: npm-container

Not sure how to resolve this.

Just tried the new meteor-starter. It looks like uploaded images are loading in side ways.

I'm sure this has something to do with the meta data that is saved in the images, as for each of these images were taken with a cell phone. Is there anyway suggested to have graphicsmagick strip the meta data before adding the image ?

The packages has below two lines:

yogiben:pretty-emails
yogiben:pretty-email

but the atmosphere documentation for both looks same. Wondering if both are different or same.

For users who sign up with email, it would be kewl to grab their gravatar.

Possibly useful: https://atmospherejs.com/jparker/gravatar

Any way thats possible?

Released earlier today.

ps: error:
Sorry, this project uses Meteor 1.0.2.1,
check to make sure that you are online.

Selecting User Role 'Admin' as Admin deletes the admin privelage and won't allow sign in

Why does the menu disappear?

It seems their private method has become public.
Meteor._wrapAsync has been renamed to Meteor.wrapAsync when you start an application.

Thanks!

Run a meteor update and check everything is still working

When I tried meteor-starter to see the demo, I couldn't add a new page in the admin dashboard.

Hi there - posted this in the main Meteor Admin project and here also. Probably more relevant here...

I ran meteor update this morning - stupidly - and all my admin routes away from the dashboard -
e.g. - http://localhost:3000/admin/Items - to view the table of items - don't work.
I'm getting the 404 'Nothing Here' page.

Anyone else getting this issue and have an idea on how to fix it?

EDIT:
Here is one of the errors I'm getting in my console - it happens for every dashboard item I've created -
'pathFor couldn't find a route named "admin_collections_Events_home0"' - events being one of the collections I'm displaying on the dash...

The social media links in the footer are not appearing? Not sure why?

            <div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-8">
                <ul class="social-networks">
                    {{#each socialMedia}}
                    <li><a href="{{url}}" target="_blank">
                    <span class="fa-stack fa-2x">
                        <i class="fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x"></i>
                        <i class="fa fa-{{icon}} fa-stack-1x fa-inverse"></i>
                    </span></a>
                    </li>

                </ul>
            </div>

Just noticed that Google are changing the oauth..

see the following - ned of life circa april 2015.. starting April we need to use OpenID Connect.

https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6135882

Not sure if this is the right place to post this ...

Both
client/style/style.less and
client/style/libraries/bootstrap.less are importing the same file twice (boostrap-variables.less).

Cool admin package, I would like to test it online with this starter. Any way to get the credentials for the default admin that is configured? Having them in the README.md would be even better

When you have time @mpowaga

I built the interface but never actually did this....

would you guys consider using @splendido's amazing useraccounts suite of packages instead of AccountsEntry. I think it is more maintained.

I wouldnt mind helping out with a PR.

https://github.com/meteor-useraccounts

Hello ,

First and foremost thank you for such a great application. I notice that when using the starter admin, the modal forms are not working. here is a video demonstration of my experience.
http://screencast.com/t/HZaExtRW
Any solution?

Thank for the hardwork @yogiben, can we have people start talking about implementing this with material design principle using Materializecss, or polymer? Any body want to work one this with me?

Presently the /dashboard is accessible for everyone (anonymous users) and if some one tries to enter a comment or perform any action it is giving error "owner is required".

It should be better if "/dasboard" path itself is restricted and/or redirected to signup/login page if no valid user exists.

Or, alternative would be to provide a custom "view" (of all public posts) for anonymous users (when no one logged in).

I signed up using Facebook and went to the profile page, but instead of seeing a profile pic, I just see a link to cfs/files/profilePictures.

How do I go about modifying the post form, let's say to include a Date Picker element. I have tried adding something like this to the posts.coffee file
postDate: type: Date autoform: afFieldInput: type: 'Date'

I then modified the dashboard.html file :

<div class="panel-body"> {{#autoForm id="add" collection="Posts" type="insert"}} {{> afQuickField name="title"}} {{> afQuickField name="content"}} {{> afQuickField name="postDate"}} <!-- {{> afQuickField name="picture"}} --> {{> afQuickField name="picture"}} <!-- {{> afFileUpload name="picture" collection="Attachments"}} --> <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Add Post</button> {{/autoForm}} </div>

Getting errors and the signup with email/password link broken.

Facebook, GPlus, Twitter

User should be able to log in with these so that:

• profile picture is stored in profile.picture (you can do file upload via url with collectionFS)
• first name, last name and other relevant info is added

There are is a Facebook ID/key in dev.json. It may be important to remove these. Just a note :-)

Please add a license file with the relevant license mentioned.

Set username screen should only apply when username: true in Config.

1. Test that Facebook, Google and Twitter sign in works
2. Test that the profile images are correctly grabbed from above
3. Check that Gravatar image is correctly pulled
4. Handle when there is no gravatar image

Currently, the Gravatar image is stored as an URL. It should be stored as an image.

When there is no gravatar for that email, the profile picture should be blank

A modal pops up, but clicking "delete" in the modal doesn't do anything

Would like slide in from right sidebar

After login, it is always going to /dashboard and not to the original request.

For example, if originally a request was made to another page, say /admin or /profile (or any other page), it prompts for sign-in, which is correct. But, after signin, it goes to /dashboard and not to /admin or /profile as requested.

I just ran meteor and got this:

Figuring out the best package versions to use. This may take a moment.
Could not resolve the specified constraints for this project:
Error: unknown package: yogiben:comments

In the recent code refactoring 0992fc6 for home_layout.less and master_layout.less, the "footer" style got entered twice into the home_layout.less, while the master_layout.less file got left as blank.

The footer is rendering incorrectly in the master views.

Hey,

Been working with his quite heavily and created my own web apps with it - but have a question - if I want to test (and eventually deploy) to a mobile app I get a blank screen when running meteor emulate or meteor run.

Are there any prerequisites? Do I need to change the '/' home route as it won't render the initial homepage within an app?

Appreciate any help.

Hey! I've installed meteor-starter on a VPS running CentOS 6 x64 and Meteor 1.1.0.2. While the web site is up and running, if I were to add, say, a new post (be it from /dashboard or from /admin), there's no way I'm going to get the admin page to read anything else than 0 posts. I checked the database through meteor mongo, the documents I inserted, they are all in there. Why is that?

The Alert object is really crap.

Let's replace it with Notify JS. This could be with a package or you might have to create one

Any chance to get it ready for meteor 1.0.x?

Thanks in advance.

I am getting different ui style for controls on html when used in this starter-template vs bootstrap default.

For example, buttons and panels etc. are loosing their 'round corners' - but the same html in normal bootstrap html is giving nice round cornered ui.

How to get back the default bootstrap styles? Since this starter-template is supposed to be used by others, it would be great if this template does not use customize the bootstrap / style - rather use the default styles (so that users can customize what they want).

The client side goes into a loop that eventually crashes the browser from memory consumption. Tried different meteor versions (1.0.3, 1.0.5) and browsers.

I'm not too familiar with the inner workings of the accounts-base package, but when I add something like accounts-facebook and accounts-ui and try to login using Facebook, I get "Exception while invoking method 'login' Error: Emails is required", which I understand from a high-level perspective. When I create a new project and just add those packages, I don't get this error and it continues logging in using OAuth, I'm guessing because it doesn't require an 'Emails' object. Thoughts?

I noticed the packages include standard-packages

That has been moved to meteor-platform. Maybe change the starter to use that instead? Not sure about the difference at this stage, but I am sure meteor-platform will get additional things in future from the core team.

Forgive me for failing Meteor 101, but I did this:

$ git clone https://github.com/yogiben/meteor-starter.git
$ cd meteor-starter
$ meteor 

And got a lot of errors like this:

W20141211-14:30:50.015(-8)? (STDERR)

One source implied that this message meant there was no bootstrap installed, but a list of packages told me otherwise.

When I checked what packages were installed this way:

 $ meteor list

I noticed many of the packages were a little outdated, so I did a

$ meteor update

But still got the same errors. Sorry to bug you, but do you have any idea what idiocy I am guilty of? (I do have Meteor itself working, and have created a ton of tiny practice apps that work fine.)

Thanks!
