Python Dependencies

Python dependencies are managed with pip-compile and pip-sync from the pip-tools package. The dependencies are listed in dependencies/pip/, with core requirements in dependencies/pip/requirements.in. You may use pip directly with one of the compiled dependencies/pip/*.txt files, but consider using instead the pip-sync. Do not add new dependencies directly to the compiled dependencies/pip/*.txt files; instead, update the relevant the source dependencies/pip/*.in file(s), and execute make pip_compile after any changes. You can pass arguments to pip-compile with e.g. make pip_compile ARGS='--upgrade-package=xlwt'. To force building, use make --always-make ....

Ubuntu 16.04 `apt` Dependencies

apt dependencies for Ubuntu 16.04 are listed in dependencies/apt_requirements.txt and can be installed with e.g. apt-get install $(cat dependencies/apt_requirements.txt).

Downloading and compiling the translations

Pull the submodule into the locale directory with git submodule update.
Optionally configure transifex to pull the latest translations into the locale directory with tx pull --all
Run python manage.py compilemessages to create .mo files from the .po files.
To test out locales in the interface, double click "account actions" in the left navbar, use the dropdown to select a language, and refresh.

Searching assets and collections

Top-level (null-parent) assets and collections can be found by including parent= in the query string. For other searches, construct a string using the Whoosh query language and pass it in as the q parameter, e.g. /assets/?q=name:sanitation. Fields indexed by Whoosh are:

name: a tokenized* representation of the name;
name__exact: a space- and comma-escaped representation of the name, e.g. "Fun, Exciting Asset" would be indexed as "Fun--Exciting-Asset";
owner__username: a tokenized* representation of the owner's username;
owner__username__exact: a space- and comma-escaped representation of the owner's username;
parent__name: a tokenized* representation of the parent object's name;
parent__name__exact: a space- and comma-escaped representation of the parent object's name;
parent__uid: the UID of the parent collection;
ancestor__uid: a multi-value field containing the UIDs of all ancestor collections;
tag: a multi-valued field holding space- and comma-escaped representations of each tag assigned to the object;
asset_type (for assets only): a space- and comma-escaped representation of the asset's type string;
text: the search "document," which is built by text templates.

When the q parameter contains a search term without a specified field, e.g. /collections/?q=health, that term is matched against the search "document" (the text field).

Searching tags

Construct a string using the Whoosh query language and pass it in as the q parameter, e.g. /tags/?q=asset_type:block. Fields indexed by Whoosh are:

name__ngram: the tag's name decomposed into n-grams, e.g. ?q=name__ngram:cat would match tags named "dogs/cats" and "education";
asset_type: a multi-value field containing the types (e.g. form, question, block) of all tagged assets;
kind: a multi-value field containing "asset" when assets are tagged, "collection" when collections are tagged, or both;
text: a tokenized* representation of the name, which serves as the search "document" (see note below).

When the q parameter contains a search term without a specified field, e.g. /tags/?q=health, that term is matched against the search "document" (the text field).

* Implemented by Haystack as a Whoosh TEXT field using the StemmingAnalyzer. Unsuitable for exact matching.

Admin reports

There are several types of data reports available to superusers.

Full list of users including their details provided during signup, number of deployed projects (XForm count), number of submissions, date joined, and last login: <kpi base url>/superuser_stats/user_report/. File being created is a CSV, so don't download immediately to wait for server to be finished writing to the file (it will download even if incomplete).
Monthly aggregate figures for number of forms, deployed projects, and submissions (from kobocat): <kc server domain>/<superuser username>/superuser_stats/

Django Admin Interface

As this is a Django project, you may find the admin panel at <kpi base url>/admin useful, e.g. to configure user accounts or log in as other users without knowing their passwords. You must use a superuser account to access the admin panel.

Icons

All project icons are kept in jsapp/svg-icons/. Adding new icon requires adding new svg file here and regenerating icons with npm run generate-icons. Filenames are used for icon font classnames, e.g. .k-icon-arrow-last for arrow-last.svg (please use kebab-case). You can see all available icons by running npm run show-icons - it will open a list in your browser.
