About

This project is a kindergarten management application utilizing django and its admin interface.

Security

Please make sure to adapt your settings.py by creating your own SECRET_KEY and disabling the DEBUG flags. To generate a key you can use django-extensions and the following command:

python manage.py generate_secret_key

The key below should not be used by anyone.

# SECURITY WARNING: keep the secret key used in production secret!
SECRET_KEY = '8s_secu%8q0yrl^#$(eb-8b$ezkc7%(gd2df=l_u@!!&9mh3vw'

# SECURITY WARNING: don't run with debug turned on in production!
DEBUG = True
TEMPLATE_DEBUG = True

Setup

To prepare you environment you will have to have the following installed:

django-extensions
south
werkzeug

You can install it like this:

pip install south werkzeug django-extensions

Database Management

By default this project uses postgreSQL.

To create the database simply execute:

createdb suni -U postgres

To drop the database simply execute:

dropdb suni -U postgres

To manage migrations for the models to the database this project relies on South You need to synchronize your models at the beginning and create migrations if you changed something.

Initially:

python manage.py syncdb
python manage.py migrate

After some changes:

python manage.py schemamigration kindergarten --auto
python manage.py migrate kindergarten

Theming and extended features

I have been playing with django-admin-tools but it is disabled by default. You can enable it by just uncommenting some lines in the settings.py and urls.py I didn't want to make it a dependency from the start as I feel that everybody should decide by themselves if they want that. Additionally, I ran into this bug.

ToDo

Testing password recovery
Enhancing interface and usability
