porticus 0.9.4

A File gallery application for Django

Yet another File gallery for Django.

Galleries contains Albums that contains Ressources and ressources are your files items. Usually used like an image gallery, you should also use it like a download center for many file types.

Galleries and Albums have thumbnails, Ressources have a thumbnail and a file but the file can be a real uploaded file on your server or just an url to link to. Also Ressources have optional tags.

Note that Albums make usage of mptt, so Albums can have album children.

Shipped templates are basics, you probably will have to override them to suit your needs.

Migrations

Since the 0.9 version, Django < 1.6 and DjangoCMS < 3.0 support has been dropped and so Porticus migrations have been reseted, since we can’t support migrations with DjangoCMS < 3.0 because it will need too much time to fix them.

Links

• Download his PyPi package;

• Clone it on his Github repository;

Requires

• Django >= 1.6;

• mptt;

• django-tagging;

• django-filebrowser-no-grappelli >= 3.5.6;

Optional

• DjangoCMS >= 3.0 to use Porticus with the cms plugin;

• South migration is supported. This is not required, but strongly recommended for future updates;

Install

In your urls.py :

url(r'^porticus/', include('porticus.urls', namespace='porticus')),

Or to point out a specific gallery :

url(r'^$', 'porticus.views.view_gallery_detail', {'slug':'home-intro'}, name='homepage_gallery_detail'),

Then add the content of porticus.settings in your settings file and the apps in your INSTALLED_APPS setting :

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'mptt',
    'tagging',
    'filebrowser',
    'porticus',
    ...
)

Also if you want to use its plugin within DjangoCMS add this to INSTALLED_APPS setting :

'porticus.cmsplugin_porticus',

Then some django-filebrowser-no-grappelli basic settings (see its documentation for more details) :

FILEBROWSER_VERSIONS_BASEDIR = '_uploads_versions'

FILEBROWSER_MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE = 10*1024*1024 # 10 Mb

FILEBROWSER_NORMALIZE_FILENAME = True

Also you can find some Sitemap classes in sitemaps.py that you can mount in your project sitemap like so :

from django.conf.urls import patterns
from porticus.sitemaps import PorticusGallerySitemap, PorticusAlbumSitemap, PorticusRessourceSitemap

sitemaps = {
    'galleries': PorticusGallerySitemap,
    'albums': PorticusAlbumSitemap,
    'photos': PorticusRessourceSitemap,
}

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # the sitemap
    (r'^sitemap\.xml$', 'django.contrib.sitemaps.views.sitemap', {'sitemaps': sitemaps})
)

See the Django documentation about Sitemaps for more details.
