A cookiecutter template for Django using django-magic-content

A basic version of of the Daniel Greenfeld's cookiecutter-django.

It'll create a working django project structure (like when you use the startproject)

It uses the django 1.7 and all the django-magic-content dependecies

• Virtualenv (create isolated environment)

  $ sudo apt-get install python-pip
  $ sudo pip install virtualenv
  

• Python projects in general

  $ sudo apt-get install python-dev python-setuptools
  

• Pillow (and django-image-cropping for image cropping)

  $ sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev
  $ sudo apt-get install libtiff4-dev libjpeg8-dev zlib1g-dev libfreetype6-dev liblcms2-dev libwebp-dev tcl8.5-dev tk8.5-dev python-tk
  $ sudo apt-get install python-imaging
  

• NODE and NPM (install assets using bower)

  $ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | sudo bash -
  $ sudo apt-get install nodejs
  $ sudo npm install npm -g
  $ npm install -g bower
  
  # Test the installation using
  $ node -v
  $ npm -v
  

First, get cookiecutter installed

Set up your virtualenv:

$ cd <your-workspace-folder>
$ virtualenv  --no-site-packages mysite-env
$ cd mysite-env
$ source bin/activate
$ pip install cookiecutter

Now run it against this repo:

$ cookiecutter  https://github.com/huogerac/cookiecutter-django-magic-content

You'll be prompted for some questions, answer them...

It prompts you for questions. Answer them:

Cloning into 'cookiecutter-django'...

project_name (default is "project_name")? mysite
repo_name (default is "repo_name")? mysite
author_name (default is "Your Name")? <your name>
email (default is "Your email")? <your email>
description (default is "A short description of the project.")? My awesome website
year (default is "Current year")? 2015

Setup

$ cd mysite/
$ pip install -r requirements/local.txt
$ chmod +x manage.py
$ ./manage.py syncdb
$ ./manage.py migrate
$ ./manage.py bower install
$ ./manage.py generate_colors
$ ./manage.py restore_site --backup-name=personal_website --site-id=1
$ ./manage.py runserver

Finally you can access the localhost:8000 and browser over you new awesome website. You can also login and go back to the localhost:8000 and modify any content, as soon add/change images...

The django-magic-content uses as base architecture:

• Django
• django-floppyforms
• django-ckeditor
• django-image-cropping

Instead of having a monolitic app, django-magic-content is separated in:

• django-multisites-utils : deal with having more than 1 website over the same project
• django-magicbackup : helps backup/restore contents
• django-frontend-decouple : good practices over the django template side
• django-magicthemes : deal with the template beauty (CSS)
• django-magic-gallery : deal with upload, crop images as soon as make an site image library
