psu-base 1.2.0

Basic features used in all PSU Django apps

PSU-Base

Reusable Django app specifically for PSU's custom-built web applications.
It encapsulates the common functionality that we would otherwise need to program into each application we build. Features include:

• PSU Single Sign-On (SSO)
• Authentication and authorization features
• Feature toggles
• Template tags for our static content server

Quick Start

Dependencies

The following dependencies may be REQUIRED in your system:

• libpq-dev

  sudo apt install libpq-dev
  

Start a PSU Base Enabled Project

django-admin.py startproject \ 
--template=*some-path-to*/psu-base-template.zip \
--extension=py,md,env \
my_project_name

Configuring Your App

After starting a new project from the custom template (above):

1. cd my_project_name
2. pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Review/Update the application metadata in settings.py
4. Run migrations: python manage.py migrate

If you have the PSU Secret Key file, your site was configured to access Finti's test server. This will need to be overwritten in local_settings.py eventually. If you do not have the PSU Secret Key file, you'll need to set these prior to running your app.

Usage

Usage of the psu-base app is documented in Confluence.

For Developers

Publishing to PyPi
