pelican_admin 0.1

Usage

Insert pelican_admin to the end of your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'pelican_admin',
    ...
)

Don’t forget to sync your db with:

python manage.py syncdb

Or, if you’re using south:

python manage.py migrate pelican_admin

Now, you must tell pelican_admin what’s the path to you pelican blog. In your settings.py you must add:

PELICAN_PATH = '/path/to/your/blog'
PELICAN_SETTINGS = 'your_pelican_settings.py # Optional. The default value is 'pelicanconf.py'

Make sure your pelican service is running in autoreload mode:

pelican /path/to/your/blog -s /path/to/pelican/settings -r &

This will have your pelican to reload itself whenever your folder blog changes. Without this configuration, pelican_admin is pretty much useless. So be sure to use it.

Features

• Settings management: change your pelican settings through Django admin and have it automatically working.

Upcoming Features

• Pelican service management: this will be a module available for django-admin-tools where you’ll be able to see the current service status and perform actions like stop, start, and restart.

I’ll just assume you’re already familiarized with pelican and move on.
