Integrate Diazo in Django using WSGI middleware and add/change themes using the Django Admin interface.
Project description
Integrate Diazo in Django using WSGI middleware and add/change themes using the Django Admin interface.
The code is maintained on GitHub (https://github.com/Goldmund-Wyldebeast-Wunderliebe/django-diazo).
Installation
Install the package:
pip install django-diazo
settings.py
Add the app to your project:
INSTALLED_APPS = ( ... 'django_diazo', ... )
wsgi.py
Add the following lines to your wsgi.py file:
# Apply WSGI middleware here. from django_diazo.wsgi import DiazoMiddlewareWrapper application = DiazoMiddlewareWrapper(application)
Database (South migrations)
Migrate the database:
python manage.py migrate django_diazo
Create a built-in theme
You might want to supply your Django application with an out-of-the-box theme, probably also managed in a VCS.
Create a new app with a diazo.py file in its root. The contents of this file is should be something like this:
from django_diazo.theme import DiazoTheme, registry class BootstrapTheme(DiazoTheme): name = 'Bootstrap Theme' slug = 'bootstrap_theme' registry.register(BootstrapTheme)
Don’t forget to put your assets in the static folder, like an index.html and a rules.xml. You can find a rules.xml example in django_diazo/examples.
To synchronize the built-in themes with the database/application run the following command:
python manage.py syncthemes
Upload themes
By default, the .zip files that are uploaded are extracted in the media folder. You might want to serve these files via Django. Add the following to your urls.py:
urlpatterns += patterns('', ... url(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}), ... )
For production environments it is not recommended to serve files from the media folder. This implementation only servers files in the themes folder within the media folder but it would be better to serve these files using a web server and not via Django. The same holds for your static folder.
Logging
If you want logging of the errors that might occur in the Diazo transformation, add the following to settings.py:
DIAZO_LOG_FILE = '/var/log/django_diazo.log' LOGGING = { 'formatters': { ... 'verbose': { 'format': '%(levelname)s %(asctime)s %(module)s %(process)d %(thread)d %(message)s' }, 'simple': { 'format': '%(levelname)s %(message)s' }, ... }, 'handlers': { ... 'django_diazo_file': { 'level': 'INFO', 'class': 'logging.FileHandler', 'formatter': 'verbose', 'filename': DIAZO_LOG_FILE, }, 'console':{ 'level': 'INFO', 'class': 'logging.StreamHandler', 'formatter': 'simple' }, ... }, 'loggers': { ... 'django_diazo': { 'handlers': ['django_diazo_file', 'console'], 'level': 'INFO', 'propagate': True, }, ... }, }
Example themes / application
Take a look at https://github.com/Goldmund-Wyldebeast-Wunderliebe/django-diazo-themes and https://github.com/Goldmund-Wyldebeast-Wunderliebe/django-diazo-blog for examples of built-in themes and an integration example.
Our blog post http://www.goldmund-wyldebeast-wunderliebe.com/tech-blog/blog-posts/using-diazo-in-django also covers these examples and some more background.
