It was originally created by Disqus, but due to the inactivity we at YPlan have taken over maintenance on this fork.

Requirements

Tested with all combinations of:

• Python: 2.7

• Django: 1.7, 1.8

Install

Install it with pip (or easy_install):

pip install nexus-yplan

Make sure you pip uninstall nexus first if you’re upgrading from the original to this fork - the packages clash.

Config

You’ll need to enable it much like you would django.contrib.admin.

First, add it to your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'nexus',
)

Now you’ll want to include it within your urls.py:

import nexus

# sets up the default nexus site by detecting all nexus_modules.py files
nexus.autodiscover()

# urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ('^nexus/', include(nexus.site.urls)),
)

By default Nexus requires django.contrib.auth and django.contrib.sessions. If you are using a custom auth system you can skip these requirements by using the setting NEXUS_SKIP_INSTALLED_APPS_REQUIREMENTS = True in your django settings.

Modules

Nexus by default includes a module that will automatically pick up django.contrib.admin.

Other applications which provide Nexus modules:

• Gargoyle (YPlan fork)

• Memcache

• Redis

• django-debug-logging

• Django-Experiments

N.B. Those that have not been forked by YPlan probably aren’t up to date to work with newer Django versions.

If you want to write a module, look at the example_module folder for a hello world implementation. Also the source code shouldn’t be too hard to understand.
