I've been unable to maintain this project for some while now due to not enough time™. Some folks over at my university, where I also initially developed dudel, have taken the time to rewrite it using django, boosting the performance and generally improving the code base. A lot of dudel lives on in that new rewrite, BitPoll. Go check it out! :)
A simple group scheduling and poll tool, following the example of doodle.com and similar services.
Make a virtual environment, activate it, run:
pip install -r requirements.txt
This needs the development packages of some libraries, in particular: libpq, libldap, libsasl2.
Make sure you also have scss and coffee (from coffeescript) installed.
Copy config.py.example to config.py and adjust your settings.
You will probably want to change DEBUG, TESTING and MAIL_DEBUG for production environments!
cp config.py.example config.py
$EDITOR config.py
Create a test database:
make seed
Create an empty database:
make init
Compile the translations:
make i18n-compile
Run the testserver:
make run
WARNING! While as a database backend all SQL-Alchemy supported databases
should work, migration is only available for PostgreSQL. This is due to complicated
upgrade tasks that require database-specific SQL commands, and me being too lazy to
implement many of them. For development, you probably want to use SQLite anyway and
throw away those databases all the time (make seed).
Please translate. Run
make i18n-update
then copy/edit translations files (in dudel/translations), then compile them with
make i18n-compile
- ALL database times are UTC
- generated times are simply using datetime.utcnow()
- user-entered times are always converted from the user's Timezone
- Polls save the timezone of the user that created it
- Poll timezone can be changed, or set to "Transform to user's timezone"
- Poll view uses poll timezone, if it differs from user timezone, a warning is displayed
- Editing the poll's times uses the poll timezone, NOT the user's timezone
- Convert user-entered times (due date, poll times) to UTC, assume they were default timezone
- Add timezone field to poll
- Add timezone field to user
