Demo

Intro

Swingtime comes with its own demo project and application. The demo is themed as a Karate studio’s website and allows you see and interact with the Swingtime application.

Within the Swingtime demo is an app named karate, which defines the custom management command loaddemo. This command will pre-populate your initial database with some events and occurrences based upon the current date and time.

Currently, Swingtime does not include any templates of its own. The demo project provides some sample templates to use as a guide or starting point.

Running the demo

Get the code:

$ git clone https://github.com/jonge-democraten/mezzanine-swingtime.git mezzanine-swingtime-master

– or –

$ curl -o swingtime.zip -L https://github.com/jonge-democraten/mezzanine-swingtime/archive/master.zip
$ unzip swingtime.zip

You can set up your environment to run the demo in a virtualenv by doing the following (please note that for the following commands you have already installed virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper):

$ cd mezzanine-swingtime-master/demo
$ mkvirtualenv swingtime_demo
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ pip install pytz django-extensions Sphinx # <-- optional

And, finally:

$ python manage.py loaddemo
$ python manage.py runserver

loaddemo is just a simple wrapper around syncdb and a short script to load some data into your new database (by default, a sqlite3 database named karate.db) in the root directory of the demo.

Now, you are ready to browse to http://127.0.0.1:8000/

Optional

  • Build the documentation files as HTML:

    $ cd docs && make html  # assumes you have Sphinx installed

  • Run development server to check for deprecation warning:

    $ python -Wd manage.py runserver
