EuroPython Conference Website

README

This project (and its dependencies) contains the EuroPython website source code.

The code is used for the EuroPython 2016 website.

LICENSE

As a general rule, the whole website code is copyrighted by the Python Italia non-profit association, and released under the 2-clause BSD license (see LICENSE.bsd).

Some CSS files (within directories p3/static/p4/s and p3/static/p5/s) are instead explicitly marked as non-free; those files implement the current EuroPython website design and Python Italia wants to keep full rights on it. They are still published on GitHub as a reference for implementing a new design.

You are thus welcome to fork away and reuse/enhance this project, as long as you use it to publish a website with a new design (without reusing the current EuroPython design).

INSTALL

Project dependencies are stored in the file requirements.txt and can be installed using pip.

Although not required the use virtualenv is highly recommended.

virtualenv pycon-env
source pycon-env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

SETUP

When the install completes you must setup your pycon installation.

cp pycon/settings_locale.py.in pycon/settings_locale.py

Edit pycon/settings_locale.py to your taste!

The next step is the database setup; the pycon site uses sqlite so the only needed thing is to create the directory where the db will be placed.

mkdir -p data/site
python manage.py syncdb
python manage.py migrate

RUN

python manage.py runserver

RUN IN DEBUG MODE

DEBUG=True python manage.py runserver

INITIAL DATABASE SETTINGS

The first thing you need to do is add 4 pages with the following ids:

• HOME (advanced settings->id:home)
• CONTACTS (advanced settings->id:contacts, template: content)
• PRIVACY (advanced settings->id:privacy, template: content page, single column)
• CONDUCT-CODE (advanced settings->id:conduct-code)
• STAFF (advanced settings->id:staff)

If you don't do that you'll start to see some errors like broken url reference. NOTE: You may need to restart the server after adding the pages to let the system detect them.

Next, you will have to create a conference record under /admin/conference/conference/. The links on this conference record also allow setting up the schedule and checking attendee statistics.

The shopping cart system has support for hotel bookings. In order to get the cart working without errors, you have to create a conference record under /admin/p3/hotelbooking/.
