djangocms-lab-publications

djangocms-lab-publications is a Django app for adding sets of scientific publications with PubMed metadata to a Django site with django CMS-specific features. It uses pubmed-lookup to query PubMed using PubMed IDs or PubMed URLs.

Source code is available on GitHub at mfcovington/djangocms-lab-publications. Information about and source code for pubmed-lookup is available on GitHub at mfcovington/pubmed-lookup.

Installation

PyPI

pip install djangocms-lab-publications

GitHub (development branch)

pip install git+http://github.com/mfcovington/djangocms-lab-publications.git@develop

Configuration

• Install django CMS and start a project, if one doesn't already exist.

  • Unless you use this app as part of djangocms-lab-site or plan to style the app from scratch, you will want to choose the Use Twitter Bootstrap Theme option (when running djangocms) and then edit the resulting templates/base.html. This will add style that looks like Bootstrap 2. To use Bootstrap 3 styling, remove the following line for the bootstrap-theme.min.css stylesheet from templates/base.html:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/3.x.x/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css">

• Do the following in settings.py:

  • Add cms_lab_publications and its dependencies to INSTALLED_APPS:

    INSTALLED_APPS = (
        # ...
        'taggit',
        'taggit_helpers',
        'cms_lab_publications',
        'easy_thumbnails',
        'filer',
        'mptt',
    )

  • Add easy_thumbnail settings:

    # For easy_thumbnails to support retina displays (recent MacBooks, iOS)
    THUMBNAIL_HIGH_RESOLUTION = True
    THUMBNAIL_QUALITY = 95
    THUMBNAIL_PROCESSORS = (
        'easy_thumbnails.processors.colorspace',
        'easy_thumbnails.processors.autocrop',
        'filer.thumbnail_processors.scale_and_crop_with_subject_location',
        'easy_thumbnails.processors.filters',
    )
    THUMBNAIL_PRESERVE_EXTENSIONS = ('png', 'gif')
    THUMBNAIL_SUBDIR = 'versions'

• If cms_lab_publications is used in a project served by Apache, a config directory must be created within the Apache user's home directory. This config directory is used by code within biopython's Bio.Entrez.Parser.DataHandler which is used by pubmed_lookup, a dependency of cms_lab_publications.

  # In this snippet, the Apache user is 'www-data' and
  # the Apache user's home directory is '/var/www/'
  sudo su - root
  cd /var/www/
  chown :www-data
  chmod g+s 
  mkdir -p /var/www/.config/biopython/Bio/Entrez/DTDs
