pyShop

This is my attempt at teaching myself python and django.

The aim is to produce a simple shopping system. If you want to use it then feel free but please keep my copyright notices. And it's always nice if you could drop me a message and let me know where my code is being used.

Other than that feel free to use and modify.

Using

Add the template dirs:

	'products/templates',
	'cart/templates',

The best place for this would be in local_settings.py

Add the needed packages to the installed apps list:

	'django.contrib.humanize', #This can be removed if you use your own templates
	'global',
	'products',
	'cart', #This one is optional if you don't want to have shopping cart functionality

Add the following entries to urls.py

	(r'^', include('products.urls', namespace='products', app_name='products')), #The regex can be whatever you like.
	(r'^cart/', include('cart.urls', namepsace='cart', app_name='cart')), #This can be removed if you are not using the cart system.

If you are using the code as-is then you do not need to add the apps or update the urls.

You will also need to add your database connection info. I would recomend creating a local_settings.py that looks like this:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'my_database',
        'USER': 'my_user',
        'PASSWORD': 'my_password',
        'HOST': 'my_server',
        'PORT': '',
    }
}

settings.py is already set up to handle local settings.

Then all you need to do is run python manage.py syncdb to make django add the needed database tables.

Sample data

There is also a set of sample data that can be loaded using python manage.py loaddata sample_data.json after you have synced the databse.
