Combo
=====
Combo is a simple content management system, tailored to create simple
websites, and with a specialization in aggregating contents from different
sources.
Installation
------------
Dependencies can be installed with pip,
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
It's then required to get the database configured (./manage.py migrate); by
default it will create a postgresqsl DB.
You can then run the Django test server for a quick try (you should refer to
the Django documentation for production deployments).
$ ./manage.py runserver
Architecture
------------
Combo manages content as a series of pages (objects of type 'Page'), that can
be sorted ('order' attribute) and hierarchically ordered ('parent' attribute).
Every pages have a title and a "slug", that is used as the page URL; a page
with 'index' as its slug will be served as the index page of the site.
The pages are set to use a template; the templates are defined in the settings
file (COMBO_PUBLIC_TEMPLATES) and are made of a name, a template file, and a
serie of "placeholders", identifying locations in the page (main content, side
bar, footer...).
Example:
'standard': {
'name': 'Standard',
'template': 'combo/page_template.html',
'placeholders': {
'content': {
'name': 'Content',
},
'footer': {
'name': 'Footer',
'acquired': True,
},
}
}
The content of a page is defined as a serie of cells, of which there are
various types (they are all subclasses of CellBase); each cell is also
associated with a placeholder ('placeholder' attribute) and its order within
('order' attribute).
A placeholder can be marked as 'acquired' (see "footer" in the example above),
this way a cell of "same as parent" type will automatically be added.
Settings
--------
Default settings are loaded from settings.py, they can be overloaded by a
local_settings.py file set in the same directory, or by a file referenced
in the COMBO_SETTINGS_FILE environment variable.
SAML authentication can be enabled by adding 'mellon' to INSTALLED_APPS and
'mellon.backends.SAMLBackend' to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS, this requires
django-mellon to be installed, and further files and settings are required:
- public and private keys (in cert.pem and key.cert in the current working
directory, or from files defined in the MELLON_PUBLIC_KEYS and
MELLON_PRIVATE_KEY settings)
- metadata of the identity provider (in idp-metadata.xml, or defined using
the MELLON_IDENTITY_PROVIDERS settings)
Details on these options and additional SAML settings are available in the
documentation of django-mellon.
Tests
-----
Unit tests are written using py.test, and its pytest-django support library.
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=combo.settings COMBO_SETTINGS_FILE=tests/settings.py py.test

black is used to format the code, using thoses parameters:
black --target-version py37 --skip-string-normalization --line-length 110
isort is used to format the imports, using those parameters:
isort --profile black --line-length 110
pyupgrade is used to automatically upgrade syntax, using those parameters:
pyupgrade --keep-percent-format --py37-plus
djhtml is used to automatically indent html files, using those parameters:
djhtml --tabwidth 2
django-upgrade is used to automatically upgrade Django syntax, using those parameters:
