Enhance documentation

[multiverseweb]

Add a section in the contributing.md file, informing contributors about the port to open in their browser.

The website can be accessed by opening

http://localhost:2604/

in the browser.

Also, add

{
    "liveServer.settings.CORS": true
}

to the .vscode/settings.json file to deal with the CORS errors.

@Rucha-Ambaliya would you like to work on this issue?

[Rucha-Ambaliya]

Yes, I'm up for it! Thank you so much for the detailed guide on how to solve it!

@multiverseweb
I have a few questions:

1. Without instructions for installing "Go Live," how will the port work?

2. If you meant adding a URL and not GUI instructions, the URL should be http://localhost:2604/Dataverse/index.html.

3. Despite changing the port to 2604 in .vscode/settings.json, Go Live still defaults to port 5500 and doesn’t work:

   {
     "liveServer.settings.port": 2604,
     "liveServer.settings.CORS": false,
     "_comment": "🎁🏙🚀"
   }

4. Should I leave it as port 5500 and add the URL http://localhost:5500/Dataverse/index.html in the documentation?

5. CORS errors occur because it blocks URLs like this: file:///C:/.../Dataverse/index.html. If we use Go Live, this won't be an issue. Should I still add "liveServer.settings.CORS": true, to the configuration?

Hey @multiverseweb I would like to work on the issue. Please assign me

[multiverseweb]

Okay @Rucha-Ambaliya, now I understood the issue. Thanks for the clarification.

• Document "Go Live" as a required extension for contributors.
• Use the default port 5500.
• Update the documentation with http://localhost:5500/Dataverse/index.html as the default URL.

Hey @Bishal-35, Rucha has been working on this issue already, you can work on #301. Thanks for understanding!

[Rucha-Ambaliya]

Okay, I'll add it by tonight! Also, I had a small question — is there any Discord server for Dataverse open-source contribution? If so, I'd love to join it!

[multiverseweb]

Hey @Rucha-Ambaliya, there is a discord channel for dataverse dedicated to SWOC named #dataverse. You can find in in this server.
Other than this, I have created a discord server for @Multiverse-Web, I'm building this community to connect people working in STEM fields. We will be creating several innovative projects and exploring stuff together. Here's the link to server, it will be active before SWOC ends.

[Rucha-Ambaliya]

Thank you for sharing them! I will join both the discords!

[multiverseweb]

That's really nice @Rucha-Ambaliya, looking forward to collaborating more.
