django-demo-reset

App which resets all models dates relative to a previous demo date.

This is useful if you want to 'replay' the same demo over and over again, as you can update the dates on all your models to be within the current period.

Eg, if you have an app with meeting appointments, set up 4 weeks ago, you can run this app's management command specifying the date it was setup, and it will update all date and datetime fields, adding 4 weeks to their value (whatever it is).

The rebasing is performed by calling the django management command 'rebase_date_fields', eg:

python project/manage.py rebase_date_fields 2013-02-24

Specifying fields to ignore

You can specify certain fields to ignore if you prefer some of your fields not to be updated. Simply add the class and field names you don't want updated to a setting called DEMO_DATE_RESET_IGNORES, with this format:

  DEMO_DATE_RESET_IGNORES = {
        'django.contrib.auth.models.User': [ 'last_login', 'date_joined' ]
        }
