1. How do I create an administrator account? Administrator privileges are assigned through the database. To assign a user as an admin, use the built in rake task:

        rake community_engine:make_admin email=users@emailaddress.com 

1. How to I add countries and metro areas, or states? Log in as an administrator, then go to /countries, /metro_areas, or /states to manage the respective object. To add in bulk, directly to the database, you’ll probably want to use a migration. For example: 014_add_states.rb.
2. How do I write a post in the forum? First, you’ll have to create a forum (only an administrator can do that). Log in as an administrator, then go to /forums and you’ll see a link to create a new forum.
3. In development mode, I don’t receive a confirmation e-mail when signing up. You probably need to set your ActionMailer delivery method to sendmail:

   #in development.rb
   ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :sendmail

4. How do I manage CE’s migrations? To migrate your application to CE’s latest version, use:

   script/generate plugin_migration

   If there are new CE migrations that you haven’t applied yet, CE will warn you when you start your server, or run tests.
