Local Task Tracker

This repository contains a small Django app, developed to track tasks students attending OpenHatch events might work on.

Running

To run the application, first make sure you have a virtualenv created:

$ cd new-mini-tasks
$ virtualenv .

Then activate_ the virtualenv; this will allow you to install the dependencies without interfering with other development work you may be doing.

$ source bin/activate
(new-mini-tasks)$

The prompt changes to let you know you were successful.

Now you can install the dependencies:

(new-mini-tasks)$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Now you can set up the database:

(new-mini-tasks)$ python manage.py syncdb --migrate --noinput

Creating table auth_group
Creating table auth_user_user_permissions

Creating table django_admin_log
Creating table tasks_task
Creating table tasks_student
Installing custom SQL ...

(new-mini-tasks)$

Yay!

Now you can run the application:

(new-mini-tasks)$ python manage.py runserver
0 errors found
Django version 1.5.1, using settings 'minitasks.settings'
Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

Visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/ in your browser to see the application.

Importing Data

You can import a CSV file using the importtasks manage command:

(new-mini-tasks)$ python manage.py importtasks data.csv

This assumes the CSV comes from Asheesh's Google Doc. We may want to improve that at some point. To get that sample data, run:

wget 'http://linode.openhatch.org/~paulproteus/tmp/tasks/data.csv'
