Install the package from github using pip:
$ pip install git+https://github.com/ChrisPappalardo/django-chime.gitOr you can include it in your requirements file like so:
git+https://github.com/ChrisPappalardo/django-chime.git@master#egg=django-chime
You will need to add the django_chime application to the
INSTALLED_APPS setting of your project's settings.py file:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'django_chime',
)This will make the models, views, and templates available in your project.
You will also need to migrate your database to use the django-chime models:
$ python manage.py migrateTo allow users to access the django-chime views, you will need to add a path
declaration to urlpatterns in your project urls.py like so:
from django_chime.views import ChimeSiteView
...
urlpatterns = [
...
# django-chime deployed models view (authentication optional)
path(
'<uuid:pk>/',
ChimeSiteView.as_view(),
name='site',
),
# django-chime model management view (requires authentication)
path(
'chime/',
include("django_chime.urls"),
),
...Once logged in, users can navigate to /chime/ to create and configure their
CHIME models. Once created, the CHIME models are visible without authentication
at /<ID of CHIME model>/.
To use the templates that come with django-chime, you will need to add the following
blocks to your project base template base.html:
...
{% block external_css %}
{% endblock external_css %}
...
{% block headline %}
{% endblock headline %}
...
{% block section_content %}
{% endblock section_content %}
...
{% block external_javascript %}
{% endblock external_javascript %}
{% block project_javascript %}
{% endblock project_javascript %}Note
You will need to add the css blocks to the <head> section and the
javascript blocks to the bottom of the <body> section of your
base template.
As an alternative, try using the base template from djcorecap, as the base for your project, it's awesome!
