- Add ``freeze`` to ``settings.INSTALLED_APPS``
- Restart your application server

##Configuration (optional)

All these settings are optional, if not defined in ``settings.py`` the default values (listed below) will be used.

```python

#the absolute path where to store the .zip and the html files
#default value is a folder named 'freeze' located as sibling of 'settings.MEDIA_ROOT'
FREEZE_ROOT = '/...'

#tells 'freeze' if the urls should be fetched using https instead of http protocol
FREEZE_USE_HTTPS = False

#the base url for all relative links, useful if the generated static site will be placed in a folder which is not the document-root
FREEZE_BASE_URL = '/'

#if True 'freeze' will fetch each url founded in sitemap.xml
FREEZE_FOLLOW_SITEMAP_URLS = True

#if True 'freeze' will follow and fetch recursively each link-url founded in each page
FREEZE_FOLLOW_HTML_URLS = True

#if true 'freeze' will send an email to managers containing the list of all invalid urls (404, 500, etc..)
FREEZE_REPORT_INVALID_URLS = False

#the invalid urls email report subject
FREEZE_REPORT_INVALID_URLS_SUBJECT = '[freeze] invalid urls'

#if True the generated site will contain also the MEDIA folder and all its content
FREEZE_INCLUDE_MEDIA = True

#if True the generated site will contain also the STATIC folder and all its content
FREEZE_INCLUDE_STATIC = True

#a tuple containing the list of the apps for which include static files, if empty or None all static files will be included
FREEZE_INCLUDE_STATIC_APPS = ()

#if True the generated site will be zipped, the *.zip file will be created in FREEZE_ROOT
FREEZE_ZIP_ALL = False

#the name of the zip file created
FREEZE_ZIP_NAME = 'freeze'
```
Add **freeze.urls** to ``urls.py`` if you want superusers and staff able to use freeze urls.

```python
urlpatterns = patterns('',
...
url(r'^freeze/', include('freeze.urls')),
...
)
```

##Usage

####Terminal

Run ``python manage.py generate_static_site``

####URL
Superusers and staff can use the following urls to **download a .zip** containing the generated static site or to just generate the static website.

``/freeze/download-static-site/``

``/freeze/generate-static-site/``

*(the time necessary to generate the static site depends on the size of the project)*
