For using the FileBrowser, Django needs to be installed and an Admin Site has to be activated.
- Django 1.3, http://www.djangoproject.com
- Grappelli 2.3, https://github.com/sehmaschine/django-grappelli
- PIL, http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/
Using pip:
pip install django-filebrowser
Go to https://github.com/sehmaschine/django-filebrowser if you need to download a package or clone the repo.
Open settings.py and add filebrowser to your INSTALLED_APPS (before django.contrib.admin):
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'grappelli',
'filebrowser',
'django.contrib.admin',
)
Add URL-patterns (before any admin-urls):
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^admin/filebrowser/', include('filebrowser.urls')),
)
Collect the media files:
python manage.py collectstatic
Note
Please refer to the Staticfiles Documentation for setting up and using staticfiles.
If you're not using staticfiles you can either use a symlink from your media-directory (given by MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL) or copy the filebrowser media-files to your media-directory. Don't forget to change the settings accordingly.
Run the FileBrowser tests:
python manage.py test filebrowser
Start the devserver and login to your admin site:
python manage.py runserver <IP-address>:8000
Goto /admin/filebrowser/browse/ and check if everything looks/works as expected. If you're having problems, see :ref:`troubleshooting`.
