OpenQuarters is now a go, with the brand new site running on WebQuarters!

Here is a quick primer on getting the vanilla site set up.

Getting Started

The first thing you'll need is WebQuarters Vanilla 1.0 from the WebQuarters Codeplex site, which comes in at just above 1MB.

Create the new database for your site, and run the VanillaDB.sql script on it.

Open up the OpenQuarters.WebQuarters.sln and modify the "WebQuartersConnectionString" app setting in your Web.config as appropriate to the database that you created.

Now hit F5 and hopefully you should have list-off in the form of a vanilla-style site.

The default login is admin / admin, please make sure you change this!  After logging in you should get the editor toolbar at the top of the page, and be able to edit content simply by clicking into the content area.

This should give you a basic site that you can start customising.
