INSTALLATION

In order to get django-planet working you must:

Create a local_settings.py file:

DEBUG = False
TEMPLATE_DEBUG = DEBUG

LANGUAGE_COOKIE_NAME = "planetlng"
SESSION_COOKIE_NAME = "planetid"

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
        'NAME': 'planet',                      # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
        'USER': '<myuser>',                      # Not used with sqlite3.
        'PASSWORD': '<mypass>',                  # Not used with sqlite3.
        'HOST': '',                      # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
        'PORT': '',                      # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
    }
}

TIME_ZONE = 'America/Chicago'

USER_AGENT = "django-planet/0.1"

Then create the database structure:

./manage.py syncdb

Add some feeds:

./manage.py add_feed http://simonwillison.net/atom/tagged/django/
./manage.py add_feed http://jannisleidel.com/cat/django/feed/atom/
./manage.py add_feed http://andrewwilkinson.wordpress.com/tag/django/feed/
./manage.py add_feed http://djangodose.com/everything/feed/
./manage.py add_feed http://seeknuance.com/tag/django/feed/atom
./manage.py add_feed http://www.willmcgugan.com/blog/tech/feeds/tag/django/

And surely you'll want to add a cron entry to periodically run:

30 * * * * python manage.py update_all_feeds

This attempts to pull for new posts every 30 minutes.

And finally run:

./manage.py runserver

Browse http://localhost:8000/ and enjoy it!
