Development

Attention! (2024-10-01) Renamed master branch to main (see GitHub Renaming the default branch from master).

After cloning the repository, create a virtualenv environment, install the prerequisites, create the database then run the testsite webapp.

    $ python -m venv .venv
    $ source .venv/bin/activate
    $ pip install -r testsite/requirements.txt
    $ make vendor-assets-prerequisites

    $ make initdb

    $ python manage.py runserver

    # Browse http://localhost:8000/
    # Start edit live templates

Configure the settings to connect to your e-mail server, then run the sendtestemail command.

credentials:
  EMAIL_HOST_USER =
  EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD =
site.conf:
  EMAIL_HOST    =
  EMAIL_PORT    =
  EMAIL_USE_TLS =
  DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL =

Then run the sendtestemail command and look for an e-mail delivered to you in HTML format.

$ python manage.py sendtestemail __your_email_address__

Note that you will need to link podofo-flatform.cc with podofo version 0.9.3. Version 0.9.1 as shipped with many RedHat systems will link with no error but the outputed PDF will be blank.
