blog

Warning, this project is one of my first projects. The code is a mess, docs are modest etc so I'm sorry if you get lost or anything. Especially because Wagtail (as of this project version) still doesn't spit the image URL in its API, I need to modify the wagtail source. Problem is, due to lack of my knowledge at that time, I didn't track the changes properly so what I did just publish the final version of the modified wagtail.

This is my personal blog with modified wagtail to include image URL path in the API and modified the sitemap module to correctly generate angular urls.

Current implementation of my image API URL is still a mess. Please do not follow this. Modified wagtail repo https://github.com/abirafdirp/wagtail-fork

Getting up and running

Basics

The steps below will get you up and running with a local development environment. We assume you have the following installed:

• pip
• virtualenv
• PostgreSQL

First make sure to create and activate a virtualenv, then open a terminal at the project root and install the requirements for local development:

$ pip install -r requirements/local.txt

Create a local PostgreSQL database:

$ createdb blog-wagtail

Run migrate on your new database:

$ python manage.py migrate

You can now run the runserver_plus command:

$ python manage.py runserver_plus
