canonicalwebteam.discourse 4.0.3

Flask extension to integrate discourse content generated to docs to your website.

canonicalwebteam.discourse

Flask extension to integrate discourse content generated to docs to your website. This project was previously named discourse_docs.

Install

Install the project with pip: pip install canonicalwebteam.discourse

You can add the extension on your project as follows, replacing, at least, base_url and index_topic_id with your own settings:

import talisker.requests
from canonicalwebteam.discourse import DiscourseAPI, Tutorials, TutorialParser

app = Flask("myapp")
session = talisker.requests.get_session()

discourse = Tutorials(
    parser=TutorialParser(
        api=DiscourseAPI(
            base_url="https://forum.example.com/", session=session
        ),
        index_topic_id=321,
        url_prefix="/docs",
    ),
    document_template="docs/document.html",
    url_prefix="/docs",
)
discourse.init_app(app)

Once this is added you will need to add the file document.html to your template folder.

Instructions for Engage pages extension

Because you are viewing a protected topic, you must provide api_key and api_username. You also need an index topic id, which you can get from discourse.ubuntu.com. Your index topic must contain a metadata section. Visit the EngageParser for more information about the structure. You are encouraged to use an blueprint name that does not collide with existent blueprints. The templates must match the ones provided in the parameters indicated.

Here is an example of an implementation:

engage_path = "/engage"
engage_docs = EngagePages(
    parser=EngageParser(
        api=DiscourseAPI(
            base_url="https://discourse.ubuntu.com/",
            session=session,
            api_key="secretkey", # API KEY used in the tests
            api_username="canonical",
        ),
        index_topic_id=17229,
        url_prefix=engage_path,
    ),
    document_template="/engage/base.html",
    url_prefix=engage_path,
    blueprint_name="engage-pages",
)

Additionally, if you need a list of all engage pages, you would construct a view this way:

app.add_url_rule(
    engage_path, view_func=build_engage_index(engage_docs)
)

Where build_engage_index would be your view.
