JALA Magnus Portal Clone

This project is a local clone of the JALA Magnus portal at http://magnus.jalatechnologies.com, including:

• Login page with the same demo credentials shown on the site (training@jalaacademy.com / jobprogram) as per the portal information and academy details in the reference site https://magnus.jalatechnologies.com/Home/Menu?utm_source=openai and https://magnus.jalatechnologies.com/Subscription/Index?utm_source=openai.
• Remember Me, Forgot Password, and Admin Login entry points.
• Authenticated Home, Menu, and Subscription pages that mirror the structure of the original portal.

Note: This clone focuses on structure and navigation; business logic (payments, emails, full admin features) is intentionally simplified so you can extend it.

Tech Stack

• Backend: Node.js, Express
• Views: EJS templates
• Session/Auth: express-session (simple demo session-based login)
• Styling: Custom CSS (public/css/styles.css)

How to Run

1. Install dependencies

   npm install

2. Start the development server

   npm run dev

   or run in normal mode:

   npm start

3. Open your browser at:

   • http://localhost:3000 → redirects to the Login page

4. Login credentials

   • Email: training@jalaacademy.com
   • Password: jobprogram

Implemented Routes / Features

• GET /login – Login page with Remember Me, Forgot Password, Admin Login links.
• POST /login – Validates the demo credentials and sets a session.
• GET /logout – Logs out and redirects to login.
• GET /home – Authenticated home/dashboard page.
• GET /home/menu – Menu page with placeholder modules similar to the Magnus portal menu.
• GET /subscription – Subscription page with placeholder plans like those described under the subscription area of the reference portal.
• GET /admin/login – Admin login placeholder page.
• GET /forgot-password – Forgot password placeholder page.

Where to Extend (to get closer to full production functionality)

• Users/Employees/Courses: Add real CRUD routes and database models (e.g., using SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL).
• Admin module: Implement role-based access control and separate admin dashboard under /admin.
• Forgot Password: Hook into an email provider and generate secure reset tokens.
• Subscription/Payments: Integrate payment gateways and enforce subscription-based access control.

This structure gives you a working base that visually and functionally resembles the Magnus portal while remaining easy to extend for real-world training or project work.
