Intranet Binder Application

This is the application that "binds" the Intranet together. Other Intranet modules may only depend on this application. It contains the main menu, a default theme, and adds a global variable for use in templates.

Installation

Check out or unpack the source code into a directory called binder inside your Django project. So you should have binder/urls.py, etc.

Import the Binder URLs from binder/urls.py into your project-wide urls.py, or copy and change them:

import binder.urls
...
urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'', include(binder.urls)),
	...

Edit your settings.py and add binder to INSTALLED_APPS.

Edit your settings.py and add the following lines, or if you already have a TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS setting, add binder.context.intranet_global to it. This adds the global object to your templates.

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = \
    list(global_settings.TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS) + \
    [
        'binder.context.additions',
        'search.context.additions',
    ]

If you want to switch your user class from User to IntranetUser, add the following line to settings.py:

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = ('binder.auth.IntranetUserBackend',)
