Overall operation

Users can search for associations by name or city, and then access their details page to view information and events.

Users can also register on the site so that their information can be recorded and used to search for associations by region or sector.

What's more, registering will give you your own association directory, so you can access events more quickly.

If the user is a member of the association, there are three recognized categories: member, administrator, director; each of these roles has rights over the previous one.

Of course, to upgrade a member to the role of association director, a request must be made to the application administrator by email.

🏠 For Local Use

To use this project locally, follow these steps:

1. Project download

Download the project by clicking on the "Code" button at the top right of this page, then select "Download ZIP".
Then unzip the downloaded ZIP file.

2. Python Version Check

Make sure you have Python installed on your machine. You can check your Python version using the following command:

python --version

Make sure you have at least Python 3.8 or later.

3. Initializing the Virtual Environment

Before you begin, create a virtual environment using the following command:

python -m venv venv

Activate the virtual environment :

On Windows :

venv\Scripts\activate

On macOS and Linux :

source venv/bin/activate

4. Dependencies installation

Install the required dependencies using the following command to read the requirements.txt file:

pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Database creation

To create a MySQL database for your Django project named "dbassociation", follow these steps:

Install MySQL :
If you haven't already done so, make sure you install MySQL on your system. You can download the appropriate version for your operating system from the official MySQL website (https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/).

Create a Database :
Once MySQL has been installed, you can create a new database using the command line interface.
Open a terminal and connect to MySQL using an account with administrative privileges. You will be prompted to enter the account password.

mysql -u root -p

Once connected, you can create a new database using the following SQL command. Replace "dbassociation" with the name of your desired database.

CREATE DATABASE dbassociation;

You can check that the database has been created using the following command:

SHOW DATABASES;

Configuring Database Information in Django:
In your Django project, open the settings.py file and locate the DATABASES section. You need to configure the database connection information as follows:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'dbassociation',
        'USER': 'votre_utilisateur_mysql',
        'PASSWORD': 'your_mysql_password',
        'HOST': 'localhost',  # or the address of your MySQL server
        'PORT': '',  # Leave empty to use default port (3306)
    }
}

Be sure to replace 'your_mysql_user' with 'your_mysql_password' with the appropriate login information for your MySQL server.

6.Database migrations

Make sure you have activated the virtual environment (previous step). Next, run the database migrations using the following commands:

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

7.Creating a Superuser

To access the Django administration interface, you need to create a superuser using the following command:

python manage.py createsuperuser

Follow the instructions to create the superuser, providing an e-mail address, user name, surname, first name and password.

8.Launching the Development Server

Start the Django development server with the following command:

python manage.py runserver

The server should start up, and you can access the application by opening a web browser and accessing http://localhost:8000/.
