# Wagtail Site Check

A Wagtail app to check the configuration of Wagtail Sites.

Common issues with misconfigured Wagtail Sites are:

- Failing Wagtail preview.
- Live button pointing to wrong site.
- On multi-language sites wrong active language and/or wrong content displayed.

When a Wagtail Site is misconfigured, developers like to be notified. This way, the issue can be addressed quickly. To scratch the itch, I created "Wagtail Site Check".

Wagtail Site Check provides:

- A management command to check for misconfigured sites.
- A management command to fix misconfigured sites.
- A notification panel to show a misconfigured site warning on the Wagtail admin dashboard.

## Installation

Install the package with pip:

```bash
python -m pip install wagtail-site-check
```

Add the app to your `INSTALLED_APPS`:

```python
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'wagtailsitecheck',
]
```

Wagtail Site Check uses `ALLOWED_HOSTS` and port `443` to create the list of allowed sites.

Optional: add `ALLOWED_WAGTAIL_SITES` to your settings to be specific:

```python
ALLOWED_WAGTAIL_SITES = [
"a.com:443",
"b.com:443",
"c.com:443",
]
```

When managing multiple environments (DTAP), only list approved Wagtail sites for each environment, typically through environment variables.

## Usage

The app provides two management commands: `checksites` and `fixsites`.

It also provides a `SiteCheckNotificationPanel` to add a warning to the Wagtail admin dashboard.

### Check Sites

The `checksites` management command *fails hard* if an existing Wagtail Site object is not defined in `ALLOWED_WAGTAIL_SITES`.

``` bash
python manage.py checksites
```

Run this command manually, or add it to your CI/CD pipeline. For example, just after `migrate`.

### Fix Sites

The `fixsites` management command helps to re-configure the sites.

``` bash
python manage.py fixsites
127.0.0.1:8000 is not in ALLOWED_WAGTAIL_SITES. Specify a number to update the site.

1: a.com:443
2: b.com:443
3: c.com:443

1

Updated 127.0.0.1:8000 -> a.com:443
```

### SiteCheckNotificationPanel

To show a warning on the Wagtail admin dashboard add `SiteCheckNotificationPanel` to `wagtail_hooks.py` . The warning is only displayed if there are misconfigured sites.

```python
from wagtail import hooks
from wagtailsitecheck.wagtail_hooks import SiteCheckNotificationPanel

@hooks.register('construct_homepage_panels')
def add_site_check_panel(request, panels):
panels.append(SiteCheckNotificationPanel())
```
