A blog engine using Django REST Framework.
Right now, the app is rather diffcult to setup, I will simplify the setup process once I think the app is ready for production use, which might take a while due my current availability.
Add South to your project’s INSTALLED_APPS setting.
Run ./manage.py syncdb
You need to install GeoIP from MaxMind
$ sudo zypper install GeoIP
$ yum install python-GeoIP
- Taggit
- Django REST Framework
- Django CKEditor
- easy-thumbnails
- uuslug
- django-ipware
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'django.contrib.admin',
'south',
'taggit',
'rest_framework',
'ckeditor',
'easy_thumbnails',
'disqus',
'blog'
)
Run ./manage.py syncdb or ./manage.py migrate if using South.
If you're intending to use the browsable API you'll probably also want to add REST framework's login and logout views. Add the following to your root urls.py file.
urlpatterns = patterns('',
...
url(r'^api-auth/', include('rest_framework.urls', namespace='rest_framework'))
)
# REST Framework configurations
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
# Use hyperlinked styles by default.
# Only used if the `serializer_class` attribute is not set on a view.
'DEFAULT_MODEL_SERIALIZER_CLASS':
'rest_framework.serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer',
# Use Django's standard `django.contrib.auth` permissions,
# or allow read-only access for unauthenticated users.
'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': [
'rest_framework.permissions.DjangoModelPermissionsOrAnonReadOnly'
]
}
Add a CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH setting to the project's settings.py. This setting specifies an absolute filesystem path to your CKEditor media upload directory. Make sure you have write permissions for the path, i.e.:
CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH = "/home/media/media.lawrence.com/uploads"
Add CKEditor URL include to your project's urls.py file:
(r'^ckeditor/', include('ckeditor.urls')),
THUMBNAIL_ALIASES = {
"blog.Photo.image": {
'full': {'size':(930, 620), 'crop': 'scale'},
'thumbnail': {'size': (40, 40), 'crop': 'smart'}
}
}
# Needs the download the following two files
# GeoLiteCity.dat.gz from http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/
# GeoIP.dat.gz from http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/
GEOIP_PATH = PROJECT_DIR + '/geoip/'
Don't forget to download GeoLiteCity.dat.gz and GeoIP.dat.gz from the links above and unzip them in a directory corresponding to what you set GEOIP_PATH with in your settings:
$ gunzip GeoIP.dat.gz
$ gunzip GeoLiteCity.dat.gz
You can change the following setup in your settings.py if you wish:
-
Recent Post Count - by default, it's 10
BLOGS_RECENT_POSTS_COUNT = 10
If you wish to customize the content of add this, you will need to create a addthis.html in your base template directory. Below is the default options:
<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:title="{{ title }}">
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_6"></a> {# digg #}
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_7"></a> {# delicious #}
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_8"></a> {# stumbleupon #}
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a> {# twitter #}
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a> {# facebook #}
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_11"></a> {# myspace #}
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a> {# google #}

<a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a> {# print #}
<a class="addthis_button_compact"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_google_plusone"></a> {# google +1 #}
</div>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->
