🏃 Quick Start (30 seconds)

Step 1: Build Frontend

cd frontend
npm run build

Step 2: Make Yourself Admin

// In MongoDB
db.users.updateOne(
  { steamId: "YOUR_STEAM_ID" },
  { $set: { staffLevel: 5 } }
)

OR add to .env:

ADMIN_STEAM_IDS=YOUR_STEAM_ID_HERE

Step 3: Restart & Access

# Restart backend
npm run dev

# Access admin panel
http://localhost:5173/admin

🔍 Troubleshooting (1 minute)

Can't Access /admin?

Option A - Database:

db.users.updateOne(
  { steamId: "YOUR_STEAM_ID" },
  { $set: { staffLevel: 5 } }
)

Option B - Environment:

# Add to .env
ADMIN_STEAM_IDS=76561198012345678
# Restart server!

Option C - Check Status:

1. Go to /admin (it will redirect if not admin)
2. Check browser console for errors
3. Verify you're logged in (top right should show username)

Still Not Working?

1. Open Debug Tab:

   • Navigate to /admin (if possible)
   • Click "Debug" tab
   • Click "Run Tests" button
   • Check which test fails

2. Quick Checks:

   # Is backend running?
   curl http://localhost:3000/health
   
   # Is frontend running?
   curl http://localhost:5173
   

3. Nuclear Option:

   # Clear everything
   cd frontend
   rm -rf node_modules/.vite dist
   npm install
   npm run build
   
   # Restart both servers

💡 Common Mistakes

❌ Mistake 1: Forgot to Restart Server

Fix: After changing .env, ALWAYS restart the backend!

# Stop server (Ctrl+C)
npm run dev

❌ Mistake 2: Wrong Staff Level

Fix: Must be staffLevel >= 3 (or in ADMIN_STEAM_IDS)

// Check your level
db.users.findOne({ steamId: "YOUR_ID" })

// Should see: staffLevel: 5

❌ Mistake 3: Not Logged In

Fix: Log in via Steam first!

1. Go to homepage
2. Click "Login with Steam"
3. Authorize
4. Then try /admin

❌ Mistake 4: Browser Cache

Fix: Hard refresh!

Windows/Linux: Ctrl + Shift + R
Mac: Cmd + Shift + R
