django-admin-demo

This is just a sample project for demoing / developing the Django Admin.

The main use-cases are:

1. Testing against the admin.
2. Aiding django admin development.
3. Aiding development of django admin customisations.

Running

1. Clone this repo.
2. pip install -r requirements.txt
3. ./manage.py migrate -- may not be necessary.
4. ./manage.py runserver

You can create your own superuser or use the one already existing:

• Username: admin
• Password: correcthorsebatterystaple

There is already a database included with data. If you want to add more data, there is a manageent command for getting data from the Spotify API:

./manage.py import_data <artist_id_1> <artist_id_2> ...

To use this you need to set up a Spotify app on their website and set the following environment variables:

• SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID
• SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET

It can take a while and it might be a good idea to fetch only one artist at a time to avoid rate limits or other issues. Not every album / track will be downloaded -- just whatever is on the first page of results for each.

The URLs are internationalized, with English as the default language. This is useful for testing right-to-left styling. If you want to quickly switch to RTL styling and translations, change the URL prefix to an RTL language code (e.g., ar):

http://127.0.0.1:8000/ar/admin/

Deployment

This project is designed to be run locally, but if you do want to deploy, set the following environment variables to reasonable settings:

• DEBUG
• SECRET_KEY
• ALLOWED_HOSTS

To Do

• Use more of the admin's features.
• Use more of the admin's widgets - as we're only running SQLite there are widgets we can't use for Postgres specific fields, but it should be possible to fake them.
