Provides a basic example of how to create a paywall inside Armstrong
This template shows a working version of paywall code. The paywall is declared
in urls/defaults.py
.
You can use this to initial a demo Armstrong project with a paywall. The paywall
is defined in urls/defaults.py
. By default, the SubscriptionPaywall
returns a 304 when access is denied, but it has been overriden to render the
permission_denied.html
template instead. The only view that needs to be
protected is the ArticleDetailView
.
The third article on the front page, 'Help Wanted' is protected. When not
logged in, the permission_denied.html
will be rendered, but when logged in as a
staff member or as the user with the username user
and password of user
you
will see the normal article.html
template.
You can install this demo project template via the armstrong
binary that
ships with armstrong.cli like this:
$ armstrong init --template=paywall
You must install this package in order to be able to use armstrong init
.
You can also use it via Django's django-admin.py
as of Django 1.4. Create
a clone of the armstrong.templates.paywall
repository and run this command
(adjusting the paths for your machine):
$ django-admin.py startproject --template=/path/to/armstrong.templates.paywall/project_template
You can install the latest release of armstrong.templates.paywall
using pip:
pip install armstrong.templates.paywall
No configuration is required for this component.
