vto_core

This is a custom reusable Django core app.

It includes admin override templates (e.g., to display the project name and current environment in a header in the admin interface), a minimal login page template, a custom template tag to render Markdown partials, custom context processors to convey settings variables to templates, and middleware to activate user time zones in templates.

It also includes a time zones model, and a custom user model which uses the time zones model as a dropdown list with autocomplete in the admin UI (something which is missing from django-timezone-field). Moreover, this allows one to only add the specific time zones desired, particularly choosing to use only the ones which are canonical.

The the user portion of the admin.py file is mostly copied verbatim from upstream, and then tweaked to replace the stock first_name and last_name conventions from with slightly more international options, lightly inspired by the Cookiecutter Django project.

The GitHub repository also has a sample backup script and sample JSON fixture.
