The Old Tutorial

I strongly recommend you bypass this article for the much clearer, up to date Mezzanine Tutorial Take 2.

...Or How This Site was Built

I had a couple things in mind when I started this work:

Document my canonical mezzanine site startup steps, that I had been doing, but often forgot/missed a step
Share some knowledge of Mezzanine customization
Get feedback on how I've approached things compared to others

This build is tested and works for Ubuntu 12, for Django 1.4.3 and Mezzanine 1.3. Hopefully, it will work for future versions and is certainly adaptable to other OS's. The biggest "not future-proofed" is the "settings reorg" in Django 1.4. The Django 1.4 django-admin.py startproject command now puts settings.py and urls.py into an "appdir" under the project dir, unlike it's predecessors. Mezzanine 1.3 still uses the old form, and so does this guide.

The text of this walkthrough is meant to be copy/pastable into a shell or ssh window. Most of the file modifications are expressed as patch files using bash heredocs; the heredocs have some tweaks in them to work as such, e.g., $ chars backslash escaped, a hack for TAB chars, ... If you do wish to copy any of the heredocs herein into a file, do so with something like the following

cat >mypatchfile <<EOF
\$$me
EOF

Oh, and credit where credit due: Ross Laird's "First Steps" series on Mezzanine got me started. Thanks Ross! By comparison to Ross's conversational writeup, this article takes a bang-bang approach.

So, on with the show.

The script below is crafted so that it can be copy/pasted into a shell. With that in mind, a few shell variables to control the build:

names and passwords for the script

name="me" # name for scm setup email="me@domain.tld" # email for scm setup pguser_password="pgdbpw" # postgres db user password project_name="rodmtech" # name of project dbuser=$project_name # project database name dbname=$project_name # project database user dbpass=$project_name # project database password

for TAB in heredocs, see

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3731513/how-do-you-type-a-tab-in-a-bash-here-document

T=$(echo -e '\t')

The next bunch all require root privilege, either su'd to root or sudo privs. On a prebuilt system, many of these may be done already, but are included here for thoroughness if, say, you're setting up on a freshly installed system

#
system stuff, requiring sudo or su

Make sure your system is up to date...essential on a new install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get --yes upgrade
Check for 2.7 or better python
python -c 'import sys; print("ruh roh" if sys.version_info < (2, 7) else "scooby dooby doo")'
Setup industory standard scm tools (if you haven't already)
sudo apt-get --yes install mercurial git subversion
Just in case not already installed
sudo apt-get --yes install openssh-server curl
Install things needed for python package building, pip, virtualenv, virtualenvwrapper, fabric
sudo apt-get --yes install build-essential python-setuptools python-dev python-software-properties
sudo easy_install pip     # no pip package in ubuntu < 10, be sure with easy_install
sudo pip install --upgrade virtualenv virtualenvwrapper
sudo pip install --upgrade 'fabric>=1.0'
Install, setup postgresql for dbms, give postgres dbuser a passwored for localhost login
sudo apt-get --yes install postgresql postgresql-client libpq5
sudo -u postgres psql template1 <<EOF
ALTER USER postgres WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD '$pguser_password';
EOF
Allow postgres password based logins locally

Before we get to actually building the site, make sure mercurial and git are configured, and setup virtualenv+virtualenvwrapper. (If you're not familar with any of these, become so. Certainly git, followed closely by mercurial, are becoming industry standard scm tools. If you want to be a Python expert, now's the time to get your head around virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper.)

# id self for git, hg
echo "
[ui]
username = $name <$email>
verbose = True
" >> $HOME/.hgrc
git config --global user.name "$name"
git config --global user.email "$email"

source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
EOF
source ~/.virtualenvrc
setup virtualenvwrapper at login
cat >>~/.bashrc <<EOF
source $HOME/.virtualenvrc
EOF

Now we're ready to do some real work: create a virtualenv for the site, use pip to install python packages, make a mezzanine site, populate it with some initial data (before which we patch the django postgresql backend so the fixture can be loaded), and set the site's urls to take the home page from Mezzanine CMS.

#
setup the site

Create a virtualenv
mkvirtualenv $project_name

Get mezzanine and friends
pip install mezzanine south django-compressor Pillow psycopg2
Create a mezzanine project

cd $project_name
pwd >../.project   # so virtualenvwrapper "cdproject" alaias works
hg init
hg add .
hg commit -m 'genesis'

We're going to use SyntaxHighlighter for display code from the site. There are other server side solutions that work quite well, e.g., Pagedown, but SyntaxHighlighter posed an interesting challenge to integrate, and has worked out reasonably well. We include the nice tinymce integration, syntaxhl, and customize tinymce additionally. Note that normally tinymce modules like syntaxhl normally must be in the tinymce tree, which is buried deep in site-packages. We don't want to go patching about there needlessly, a little sed patch fixes things up for us under our project tree.

Note also that in our tinymce customization we turn off the inlinepopups plugin: tinymce has "issues" serving in this mode over ssl, found out the hard way, and was not interested in finding my own workaround. If you come across one...

Oh, we also update builtin TWITTER feed settings for moi. Yes, we took twitter out of the base template, but we put it back to the home page (only) here.

Install things needed for python package building, pip, virtualenv, virtualenvwrapper, fabric

Install, setup postgresql for dbms, give postgres dbuser a passwored for localhost login

Create the schema, add some site pages and give it a test

Make the home page an editable page in the page tree (see urls.py)

Page can be created via /admin or a fixture, as above

url("^$", direct_to_template, {"template": "index.html"}, name="home"),

url("^$", "mezzanine.pages.views.page", {"slug": "/"}, name="home"),

try the site; login to http://localhost:8000/admin as admin/default

python manage.py runserver

^C

start customizing: pull mezzanine.base templates, setup a static css/js/img

tell hg only to ignore static/media...

...then add static content to ./static/(css)|(js)|(img)

must fix relative path in syntaxhl because we're loading external

customize tinymce setup and twitter settings

include syntaxhighlighter scripts and css in base template

add tweets back to index.html (was in base.html)

sit back, stir with content and enjoy!
