Symposion

A conference management solution from Eldarion.

Built with the generous support of the Python Software Foundation.

See http://eldarion.com/symposion/ for commercial support, customization and hosting

Getting started

Get your environment set up:

$ virtualenv pycona-2013-web-env
$ . pyconca-2013-web-env/bin/activate
$ git clone git://github.com/pyconca/2013-web.git pyconca-2013-web
$ cd pyconca-2013-web

If you're using XCode 4 on Snow Leopard:

export ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64"

If you're still using Python 2.6 (stop that, use 2.7!):

$ pip install importlib

Install requirements and reset the development environment:

$ make reset
...
-----------------------------------------
User 'admin@example.com' created with password 'asdf'
-----------------------------------------

Start the server! Go to http://localhost:6544/; you can log in with admin@example.com/asdf.

$ make run
./manage.py runserver 127.0.0.1:6544
Validating models...

0 errors found
Django version 1.4.3, using settings 'symposion_project.settings'
Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:6544/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

Translation

For internationalization/i18n, either do:

$ make i18n

...or the good old way:

# change the symposion_project directory
$ cd symposion_project
$ django-admin.py makemessages -a

# now make changes to generated .po files ...
$ django-admin.py compilemessages

# go back to project root directory
$ cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"

# also need to change symposion directory
$ cd symposion
$ django-admin.py makemessages -a

# now make changes to generated .po files ...
$ django-admin.py compilemessages

To build documentation::

$ make docs

Deploying

$ ssh pycon.ca
$ cd /data/web/2013.pycon.ca/pyconca
$ . /data/virtualenvs/2013.pycon.ca/bin/activate
$ git pull --ff-only # Note the hash, I usually push a deploy tag from my local repo pointed at this hash
$ # => IF IT REFUSES TO FAST-FORWARD, SOMEONE HAS COMMITTED THINGS TO PROD WITHOUT GOING THROUGH GITHUB
$ #    Figure out why before you continue!
$ make restart_prod
