Project description

Source code is available on GitHub at mfcovington/djangocms-lab-members. Information about and source code for django-lab-members is available on GitHub at mfcovington/django-lab-members.

Installation

PyPI

pip install djangocms-lab-members

GitHub (development branch)

pip install git+http://github.com/mfcovington/djangocms-lab-members.git@develop

Configuration

  • Ignore instructions for django-lab-members, the non-django CMS app that this app extends.

  • Install django CMS and start a project, if one doesn’t already exist.

  • Unless you use this app as part of djangocms-lab-site or plan to style the app from scratch, you will want to choose the Use Twitter Bootstrap Theme option (when running djangocms) and then edit the resulting templates/base.html.

    • This will add style that looks like Bootstrap 2. To use Bootstrap 3 styling, remove the following line for the bootstrap-theme.min.css stylesheet from templates/base.html:

      <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/3.x.x/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css">
    • The default menu settings for django CMS using Bootstrap will allow the user to access specific lab members via a dropdown menu, but will not give easy access to the summary page of all lab member. To fix this do one of the following:

      • In templates/base.html, change {% show_menu 0 1 100 100 "menu.html" %} to {% show_menu 0 0 100 100 "menu.html" %}, or

      • Use a split button dropdowns by changing that line to {% show_menu 0 100 1 1 ‘_menu.html’ %} and populate _menu.html as done in djangocms-lab-site.

  • Edit the project’s settings.py file.

    • Add cms_lab_members and its dependencies to your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

      INSTALLED_APPS = (
          # ...
          'cms_lab_members',
          'cms_lab_publications',
          'easy_thumbnails',
          'filer',
          'friendlytagloader',
          'lab_members',
          'taggit',
      )
    • Add easy_thumbnail settings:

      # For easy_thumbnails to support retina displays (recent MacBooks, iOS)
      THUMBNAIL_HIGH_RESOLUTION = True
      THUMBNAIL_QUALITY = 95
      THUMBNAIL_PROCESSORS = (
          'easy_thumbnails.processors.colorspace',
          'easy_thumbnails.processors.autocrop',
          'filer.thumbnail_processors.scale_and_crop_with_subject_location',
          'easy_thumbnails.processors.filters',
      )
      THUMBNAIL_PRESERVE_EXTENSIONS = ('png', 'gif')
      THUMBNAIL_SUBDIR = 'versions'
    • Pre-populate placeholder content for research/personal interests and sidebar:

      # Pre-populate placeholder content
      CMS_PLACEHOLDER_CONF = {
          # ...
          'research interests': {
              'default_plugins': [
                  {
                      'plugin_type': 'TextPlugin',
                      'values': {
                          'body':"<p><em>[Enter 'Edit Mode' and double-click here to add your research interests.]</em></p>",
                      },
                  },
              ],
          },
          'personal interests': {
              'default_plugins': [
                  {
                      'plugin_type': 'TextPlugin',
                      'values': {
                          'body':"<p><em>[Enter 'Edit Mode' and double-click here to add your personal interests.]</em></p>",
                      },
                  },
              ],
          },
          'scientist sidebar': {
              'default_plugins': [
                  {
                      'plugin_type': 'TextPlugin',
                      'values': {
                          'body':"<p><em>[Enter 'Edit Mode' and double-click here to add sidebar content.]</em></p>",
                      },
                  },

          },
      }
