A wafer-thin web application for running small conferences. Built using Django.
Licensed under the `ISC License`_.
.. _ISC License: https://github.com/CTPUG/wafer/blob/master/LICENSE
Documentation
=============
Available on `readthedocs.org`_.
.. _readthedocs.org: https://wafer.readthedocs.org/
Supported Django versions
=========================
Wafer supports Django 2.2 and Django 3.0 - 3.2.
Installation
============
1. wafer can be installed either from pypi (``pip install wafer``)
or from the github repository.
2. If installing from github, ``pip install -r requirements.txt``
should install all the required python and django dependencies.
3. Wafer uses npm to manage front-end dependencies
* Make sure you have a recent version of Node.js installed that
includes ``npm``.
* Run ``npm install`` to install all dependencies, which also copies
them to ``wafer/static/vendor``.
4. Install the wafer applications
``manage.py migrate``
5. If you don't have one yet, create a superuser with
``manage.py createsuperuser``.
6. Examine the ``settings.py`` file and create a
``localsettings.py`` file overriding the defaults
as required.
``STATIC_FILES``, ``WAFER_MENUS``, ``MARKITUP_FILTER``,
``WAFER_PAGE_MARKITUP_FILTER``, ``WAFER_TALKS_OPEN``,
``WAFER_REGISTRATION_OPEN`` and ``WAFER_PUBLIC_ATTENDEE_LIST`` will
probably need to be overridden.
If you add extensions to ``MARKITUP_FILTER`` or
``WAFER_PAGE_MARKITUP_FILTER``, be sure to install the appropriate
python packages as well.
7. Wafer uses the Django caching infrastructure in several places, so
the cache table needs to be created using ``manage.py createcachetable``.
8. Create the default 'Page Editors' and 'Talk Mentors' groups using
``manage.py wafer_add_default_groups``.
9. Log in and configure the Site:
* The domain will be used as the base for e-mails sent during
registration.
* The name will be the conference's name.
10. Have a fun conference.
Running wafer
=============
To run a local server for development and testing, use the standard Django
``manage.py runserver``, after doing the installation.
For running the server in production, please see the `Django documentation`_
on the various possible approaches.
.. _Django documentation: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/howto/deployment/
Features
========
* Support for adding and editing sponsors via Django admin.
* Schedule can be created and updated via Django admin.
* Pages for static content, news and so forth can be handled via Django admin.
* Can be delegated to the 'Page Editors' group.
* Pages can be updated via the web interface.
* Talk submissions, review and acceptance.
* Generate a static version of the site for archival.
