Nexus

-----

Nexus is a pluggable admin application in Django. It's designed to give you a simple design and architecture for building admin applications.

Install

=======

Install it with pip (or easy_install)::

	pip install nexus

	

Config

======

You'll need to enable it much like you would ``django.contrib.admin``.

First, add it to your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` setting::

	INSTALLED_APPS = (

	    ...

	    'nexus',

	)

Now you'll want to include it within your ``urls.py``::

	import nexus

	

	# sets up the default nexus site by detecting all nexus_modules.py files

	nexus.autodiscover()

	

	# urls.py

	urlpatterns = patterns('',

	    ('^nexus/', include(nexus.site.urls)),

	)

By default Nexus requires django.contrib.auth and django.contrib.sessions. If you are using a custom auth system you can skip these requirements by using the setting ``NEXUS_SKIP_INSTALLED_APPS_REQUIREMENTS = True`` in your django settings.

Modules

=======

Nexus by default includes a module that will automatically pick up ``django.contrib.admin``.

Other applications which provide Nexus modules:

* `Gargoyle `_

* `Memcache `_

* `Redis `_

* `django-debug-logging `_

* `Django-Experiments `_

(docs on writing modules coming soon)
