django-music-publisher 18.9.3

Introduction

Installing the App

If you want to install the django_music_publisher app, just use pip:

pip install --upgrade django_music_publisher

Add music_publisher.apps.MusicPublisherConfig to INSTALLED_APPS, no URLs need to be added, as everything goes through the Django Admin.

You will have to add this to the settings, replace with your data.

MUSIC_PUBLISHER_SETTINGS = {
    'admin_show_publisher': False,  # Needed only in US version
    'admin_show_saan': True,  # Needed only if societies assign agr. #

    'enforce_saan': True,  # Agr. # is required in many societies
    'enforce_publisher_fee': True,  # False for self-publishers
    'enforce_pr_society': True,  # Strictly not required, but good practice
    'enforce_ipi_name': True,  # Strictly not required, but good practice

    'token': None,  # See below
    'validator_url': None,  # See below
    'generator_url': None,  # See below
    'highlighter_url': None,  # See below

}

For US publishers with entities in different PROs, define the “main” publisher first, which is original publisher for affiliate writers in the respective PRO and foreign societies. Then define publishers in other PROs.

Installing the project (standalone deployment)

You can only install this project on a computer that has Python 3 preinstalled. Supported versions are 3.5 and 3.6. It might work with other Python 3 versions, but not with Python 2. It is advised you run this inside a virtual environment.

Do:

python3 -m venv dmp
cd dmp
source bin/activate
git clone https://github.com/matijakolaric-com/django-music-publisher.git
cd django-music-publisher
pip install -r requirements.txt

The next step is to create dmp_project/local_settings.py or edit dmp_project/settings.py or set the appropriate environment variables. Regardless, SECRET_KEY, ALLOWED_HOSTS, and MUSIC_PUBLISHER_SETTINGS (see above for details) must be set. Then:

python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser

If you wish to add two predefined permission groups, run:

python manage.py loaddata publishing_staff.json

Finally, run:

python manage.py runserver

Then open the following link: http://localhost:8000/ and log in with credentials you provided. For instructions on permanent deployment, please use official Django documentation.

Societies

The only optional setting is MUSIC_PUBLISHER_SOCIETIES. In the default setup, only 18 societies from 12 countries are present, as well as two administrative agencies. If you need to add additional societies, do it with this setting (and not in the models.py).

Societies the original publisher and writers are affiliated with, as well as all societies whose acknowledgement files are being imported, must be present.

Validation and CWR Generation Service

As stated above, this tool uses an external service for data validation and generation of CWR files, which is a part of CWR Developer Toolset.

Free 15 day demo licence is available upon requests. Contact us through this Contact Page.
