----------------------
pinax-satchmo-buildout
----------------------

This project aims to kick start websites using pinax and satchmo, providing the core buildout.cfg and settings files to get new projects up and running.

The buildout will create a new website using the Django 1.1, pinax from git, and satchmo from hg.

There is a sample website project based off pinax social_project which intergrates the satchmo blocks into the base.html template.

Requirements
============

* python-dev

* virtualenv

* git

* mercurial

* svn

Install
=======

* Checkout this project to any path

* Create newproject directory ::

mkdir newproject
cd newproject

* Execute create-site.sh ::

See the pinax and satchmo documentation for more configuration options.

http://www.satchmoproject.com/docs/svn/new_installation.html

http://pinaxproject.com/docs/dev/customization.html

* You need to patch the django_friends models.py to resolve a conflict with a satchmo model.::

all_src/friends/models.py

users = models.ManyToManyField(User)

add a related name::

users = models.ManyToManyField(User, related_name="contacts")

Post install

It may be helpful to load the satchmo sample data to have something to work with.

load sample locale text ::

bin/django satchmo_load_l10n

load sample store ::

bin/django satchmo_load_store

Customize the buildout
======================

If you want to create a site using a modified buildout.cfg,
put the buildout.cfg at the root of the project and run create-site.sh.
The script will see your buildout.cfg and not overwrite it.

It is often a good idea to set a path for download-cache in the main buildout configuration.
See http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.buildout#using-a-download-cache

By default buildout will store eggs in the ``eggs`` directory of the project structure.
Using a common eggs directory allows projects to share the same eggs and makes builds much quicker.

Set the eggs-directory in the main buildout configuration to a writeable path.
Make sure the path exists before you run buildout.
