DJ4E Samples

============



This is a set of Django projects that provide free sample code to

support the www.dj4e.com web site.



You can see some of the samples working at



http://samples.dj4e.com



Setting up a Virtual Environment on the Mac

-------------------------------------------



Install `virtualenv`, if you use homebrew you can:



    brew install virtualenv



Then checkout this repository:



    cd ...wherever...

    git clone https://github.com/csev/dj4e-samples.git

    cd dj4e-samples

    virtualenv .venv

    source .venv/bin/activate

    python --version

    pip install -r requirements42.txt



    python manage.py migrate

    python manage.py createsuperuser --username dj4e-samples

    # python manage.py changepassword dj4e-samples

    # dj4e_nn_!



Running Locally on the Mac

--------------------------



If you have Django installed on your local computer you can test any of the sample

applications by going into the folder and starting the server:



    cd dj4e-samples

    source .venv/bin/activate   # If needed

    python manage.py runserver



And visit `http://localhost:8000`.



Setting up a Virtual Environment on Python Anywhere

---------------------------------------------------



The instructions for setting up a virtual environment on PythonAnywhere in the Linux shell

are:



    mkvirtualenv django4 --python=/usr/bin/python3.11

    pip install django==4.2.3 ## this may take a couple of minutes



To activate the environment type:



    workon django4



Then check this out into some folder:



    cd ~/django_projects    # Create the folder if needed

    git clone https://github.com/csev/dj4e-samples.git

    cd dj4e-samples

    pip install -r requirements.txt

    python manage.py migrate

    python manage.py createsuperuser --username dj4e-samples

    # python manage.py changepassword dj4e-samples

    # dj4e_nn_!

    python manage.py runscript gview_load

    python manage.py runscript many_load



These samples may be updated from time to time so you might want to get updates

using `git pull`.  Also if there are bugs, you are welcome to submit

a Pull Request on github.

by whomever wrote the code or documentation.  You are welcome to use this in any way you see

fit and paste code from this repo into your applications.



Running on PythonAnywhere

-------------------------



Once you have checked out the code under `django_projects`, and

ran the migrations and load scripts,

go under the Web tab, update the config files to point to your new application:



    Source code:                /home/--your-account--/django_projects/dj4e-samples

    Working Directory:          /home/--your-account--/django_projects/dj4e-samples



Use this as your `WGSI configuration file`:



    import os

    import sys



    path = os.path.expanduser('~/django_projects/dj4e-samples')

    if path not in sys.path:

        sys.path.insert(0, path)

    os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'dj4e-samples.settings'

    from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application

    from django.contrib.staticfiles.handlers import StaticFilesHandler

    application = StaticFilesHandler(get_wsgi_application())



You can edit these files and settings in the Web tab to switch between

your various projects on PythonAnywhere.  Make sure to reload under the Web tab after

every file or configuration change.
