Configure the OpsPortal

Just physically being in the directory doesn't tell the OpsPortal to include you. We need to add it to the config/opsportal.js file.

$ cd ../..  
   # should be back to the [sails] root directory now
$ vi config/opsportal.js

We are going to add a new "Area" to the OpsPortal, and install this new Tool under that Area. Add this to the config file:

      {
          // New Area for [pluginName]
          icon:'fa-cogs',
          key:'[pluginName]',
          label:'[pluginName]',
          tools:[{
              // New Tool entry for: [toolName]
              controller:'[toolName]',
              label:'[toolName]',
              isDefault: true,
              permissions:[
                  '[plugin].[tool]'
                  , 'adcore.developer'
              ]
          }]
      },

• [pluginName] : is a string for your plugin
• [toolName] : is a string Name for this tool
• [plugin].[tool] : is a permissions string required to grant access to this tool

Now when the OpsPortal loads, you should see a [pluginName] area under the Menu, and a [toolName] tool that shows up when that is selected.
