c3sMembership README
This Pyramid app handles membership for C3S SCE (Cultural Commons Collecting Society SCE mit beschränkter Haftung).
The app that once started as a form to gain new members has grown to a membership administration system catering to the needs of a growing European cooperative (C3S SCE).
Some features:
- Internationalisation (i18n)
- Membership information is persisted in a database.
- GnuPG encrypted mail with details submitted is sent to C3S staff.
- Once the email is verified, form submission data is used to populate a pdf with form fields (using fdf and pdftk) and the resulting PDF is ready for download.
- Membership certificates (pdflatex)
- Membership dues (pdflatex)
Documentation
There is plenty of documentation under /docs, both in this repository and in the running app (if you have sphinx to compile the docs to HTML):
cd docs make html
A compiled version of the documentation is available at: https://yes.c3s.cc/docs/
Setup
Install development dependencies:
$ sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev python2.7-dev \ python-virtualenv libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev build-essential \ pdftk zlib1g-dev phantomjs
Fonts: The .odt files for the membership application in pdftk require the font Signika which can be downloaded at: https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Signika
Install LaTeX pdf compilation dependencies:
$ sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-recommended \ texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-fonts-extra pgf \ texlive-lang-german texlive-luatex
Setup the virtual environment:
$ virtualenv -p python2 env
Activate the virtual environment and update pip and setuptools:
$ source env/bin/activate $ pip install --upgrade pip setuptools $ pip install -r requirements.txt
Install c3sMembership:
$ python setup.py develop
Install documentation compilation dependencies:
$ sudo apt-get install graphviz openjdk-7-jre-headless $ mkdir utils $ wget 'http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/plantuml/plantuml.jar' \ -O utils/plantuml.jar $ pip install sphinx sphinxcontrib-plantuml
Create an initial database:
$ initialize_c3sMembership_db development.ini
Run in development mode
Run:
$ source env/bin/activate $ pserve development.ini --reload
The app will rebuild templates and reload code whenever there are changes by using --reload.
Run in production mode
Run:
$ source env/bin/activate $ pserve production.ini start
Running automated tests
Make sure to activate the virtual environment:
$ source env/bin/activate $ nosetests
