Quick Start Guide

Here are the details of the manual installation and configuration:

Download TaskManager Django Project

First, you need to download the project from GitHub, as a zip file or using your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/jazzify/django-task-manager.git

This will download the repository in your current direcotry.

Secret Django Key

This project has the DJANGO_KEY setting variable hidden.

You can generate your DJANGO_KEY http://www.miniwebtool.com/django-secret-key-generator

Keep reading to include your new Django key into your project.

Project Name

This project is named TaskManager, so if you are using this Boilerplate to create your own project, you'll have to change the name in a few places:

• taskmanager_project folder (your top project container)
• taskmanager_project/taskmanager folder (your project name)
• in taskmanager_project/taskmanager
  • edit wsgi.py and change "taskmanager.settings" accordingly.
• in taskmanager_project/taskmanager/settings
  • edit the base.py file and change the declarations of ROOT_URLCONF and WSGI_APPLICATION
• in taskmanager_project edit manage.py file and change os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "taskmanager.settings")

Virtual environments and Settings Files

Create a Development virtual environment with Python 3 installed:

mkvirtualenv tm_dev

You must add the line:

export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="taskmanager.settings.development"

(On windows) set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=taskmanager.settings.development

Secret Key:

• Create secret.py file with SECRET_KEY = 'your-django-secret-key' inside your settings directory

with your project name and your own secret key.

Next, install the packages in each environment:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Next, apply the basic migrations:

python manage.py migrate

python manage.py makemigrations

And check that everything works by starting the server:

python manage.py runserver

Internationalization and Localization

Settings

The default language for this Project is English, and we use internatinalization to translate the text into Spanish.

If you want to change the translation language, or include a new one, you just need to modify the LANGUAGES variable in the file settings/base.py. The language codes that define each language can be found http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533052(v=vs.85).aspx

For example, if you want to use German you should include:

LANGUAGES = (
    ...
    'de', _("German"),
    ...
)

You can also specify a dialect, like Luxembourg's German with:

LANGUAGES = (
    ...
    'de-lu', _("Luxemburg's German"),
    ...
)

Note: the name inside the translation function _("") is the language name in the default language (English).

Translation

Go to the terminal, inside the taskmanager_project folder and create the files to translate with:

python manage.py makemessages -l ca

change the language "ca" for your selected language.

Next, go to the locale folder of your language:

cd taskmanager/locale/ca/LC_MESSAGES

where taskmanager is your project folder. You have to edit the file django.po and translate the strings. You can find more information about how to translate the strings https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/i18n/translation/#localization-how-to-create-language-files

Once the translation is done, compile your messages with:

python manage.py compilemessages -l ca
