django-presskit

A port of Rami Ismail's presskit()/dopresskit to Django.

Installing

Requirements:

• Django>=3.2
• django-filer>=3.3.0
• easy_thumbnails==2.9
• Markdown>=2.6.11
• Pillow>=10.3.0
• django-admin-sortable2>=1.0.4
• future>=0.18.3

Configuring

Add "django_presskit" and "adminsortable2" to your settings.py INSTALLED_APPS.

Add DJANGO_PRESSKIT_DEFAULT_COMPANY_ID = 1 to your settings file.

In your main urls.py, add a line like: url(r'^presskit/', include('django_presskit.urls', namespace='django_presskit')),

All data can be set up in the Django admin.

Upgrading

If upgrading to 1.1.0, run the following on your project after adding adminsortable2 to your settings:

python manage.py reorder django_presskit.additionallink django_presskit.award django_presskit.companyimageattachment django_presskit.companylogoattachment django_presskit.companyvideo django_presskit.contact django_presskit.credit django_presskit.feature django_presskit.platform django_presskit.price django_presskit.project django_presskit.projectimageattachment django_presskit.projectlogoattachment django_presskit.quote django_presskit.social django_presskit.trailer

Converting from presskit()/dopresskit

If you are switching from Rami Ismail's presskit(), you'll want to make sure any old URLs that are floating around continue to work. Presskit() URLs look like /presskit/sheet.php?p=exploit_zero_day. You'll want to convert those into something like /presskit/exploit-zero-day/.

Make sure that the slugs for your django-presskit projects match those for your presskit() projects. Then, you can use URL rewriting to redirect users to the new URL.

If you have Apache with mod_rewrite enabled, add something like the following to your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine  on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=(.*)$
RewriteRule "^/?presskit/sheet.php"  "/presskit/projects/%1" [N]
# Repeatedly remove underscores until only one is left.
RewriteRule "^(/?presskit/projects/.*)_(.*_.*)$"  "$1-$2" [N]
# Redirect with the last underscore rewrite.
RewriteRule "^(/?presskit/projects/.*)_(.*)$"  "$1-$2" [R=301]
RewriteRule "^/?presskit/sheet\.php$ "              "/presskit/" [R=301]

Note: If you are running python through Passenger (as one does on Dreamhost hosting, for instance), these rewrite rules will likely not work, as Passenger does additional processing of URLs.

If you're using nginx for rewrites, this would look like:

location ~* /presskit/sheet.php {
    if ($args ~* "^p=(\d+)") {
        set $proj $1;
        set $args '';
        rewrite ^.*$ /presskit/projects/$proj permanent;
    }
}
# Remove up to 10 underscores until none are left.
rewrite ^(/?presskit/projects/.*?)_(.*)$  $1-$2 last
rewrite ^/?presskit/sheet\.php$           /presskit/ permanent

If you're using nginx and one of your slugs has more than ten underscores, add a rewrite above the first one to manually fix that one case. Nginx does not want to loop more than 10 times in a rewrite calculation.
