From A Bitbucket Repository

In terminal: 

$ cd /location/of/where/i/do/projects/$ git init$ git clone <paste project url from bitbucket>
$ cd project name $ python2 -m venv env$ source env/bin/activate$ pip install req.txt



If the above does not work, make sure you have the right page_cms file in libs that corresponds to req.txt. If it still doesn't work, do the following:

$ pip install django$ pip install page_cms…$ pip install git+https://github.com/deschler/django-modeltranslation.git



then...

$ python application/manage.py makemigrations$ python application/manage.py migrate$ npm install grunt



From Scratch

Setting up PageCMS




Go to where you want to start your project in terminal


$ cd /location/of/where/i/do/projects/$ mkdir <project name>$ python3 -m venv env$ source env/bin/activate$ pip install page_cms...$ pip install git+https://github.com/deschler/django-modeltranslation.git$ django-admin startproject application


If django-admin doesn't work that means django wasn't install so

#### only do this if django didn't get installed...$ pip install django






Inside of the of application/application/urls.py replace it with this code

from django.contrib import admin from django.urls import pathfrom django.conf.urls import include, url from django.conf.urls.i18n import i18n_patterns from django.conf import settings from django.conf.urls.static import static



urlpatterns = [  path('admin/', admin.site.urls),  url(r'^', include('page_cms.urls')), ]urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT) + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)urlpatterns += i18n_patterns(  url(r'^', include('page_cms.urls_all')),  prefix_default_language=False )









Inside the settings file application/application/settings.py augment the information with the data bellow.

S3 = True#FalseINSTALLED_APPS = [     'modeltranslation', #this needs to be at the top     'django.contrib.admin',     'django.contrib.auth',     'django.contrib.contenttypes',     'django.contrib.sessions',     'django.contrib.messages',     'django.contrib.staticfiles',     'page_cms', #this should be at the bottom ] if S3:     INSTALLED_APPS += ['storages',]





Lower in the settings.py still...

Depending on the languages you want to support, usually it's just english but in this we show how to setup french and english.

gettext = lambda s: s LANGUAGES = (  ('en', gettext('English')),  ('fr', gettext('French')),) MODELTRANSLATION_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE = 'en'







Get your keys and such from Amazon

# DATABASES = { # 'default': { #     'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', #     'NAME': '--------', #     'USER': '--------', #     'PASSWORD': '--------', #     'HOST': '---------',#     'PORT': '3306', #     } # }



if S3:     AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = '------------'     AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = '-----------'     AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = '--------'     AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN = '%s.s3.amazonaws.com' % AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME     AWS_S3_OBJECT_PARAMETERS = {         'CacheControl': 'max-age=86400',     }    AWS_LOCATION = 'static'    # AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN = 'cdn.mydomain.com'    STATIC_URL = 'https://%s/%s/'%(AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN, AWS_LOCATION)    STATICFILES_STORAGE = '--------------------'    DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = '------------------'  # <-- here is where we reference it





In terminal

$ python application/manage.py migrate$ python application/manage.py createsuperuser





Create the template directory 

$ mkdir /templates/ $ mkdir /templates/page_cms/ $ mkdir /templates/page_cms/page/





With this done you can now start creating your custom templates in the page folder you just made.





Usually we setup a base file that all the other files use for reference. 

Create the base file /templates/base.html

<!DOCTYPE html><html> <head>{% include "page_cms/meta.html" %}</head> <body class="{% block page_class %}{% endblock page_class %}"> {% block nav %} <nav>  <ul>  {% for link in navs.main_nav.links %}   <li><a href="{{link.link}}">{{link}}</a></li>   {% if link.sub_nav %}     <ul>     {% for sub_link in link.sub_nav.links %}       <li>       <a href="{{sub_link.link}}">{{sub_link}}</a>       </li>     {% endfor %}     </ul>    {% endif %}  {% endfor %}  </ul> </nav> {% endblock nav %} {% block content %}{% endblock content %} {% include "page_cms/front-end.html" %} </body></html>

Now this is the most basic version of the base file, you may need to add your own css, js, other meta tags. 





{% include "page_cms/meta.html" %}

Includes quite a bit of content, so look at the meta tags added by this before adding your own.





{% for link in navs.main_nav.links %}

References a nav that is not created yet, but this type of error doesn't break the page.





Now you start creating your templates in /templates/page_cms/page/

The most basic template would look something like this

{% extends "base.html" %} {% block page_class %}index_page{% endblock page_class %}{% block content %}<div class="wrapper">     <div data-slug="main_text"data-type="text">         {{main_text.text|safe}}     </div> </div> {% endblock content %}

There is a lot going on in the HTML (or liquid) above, we'll get into that as we describe the way PageCMS works on the next page.





Now you have a basic template that has a text editable field and can start creating pages!!!
