Command to run

fab up - start all backend instances in daemon mode
fab down - stop all backend instances and make backup of db
fab migrate - to run new migrations
docker-compose build - if there were new django requirements

Project structure

Static files (png, css, etc.) should go to:

nginx/site/static/

And can be accessed like:

http://localhost/static/css/some.css

http://localhost -- deployed frontend http://localhost/admin -- backend admin

Country map handling

  1. Download the maps with the link in the admin page of the selected country
  2. Unzip the map and load it in MAPSHAPER
  3. Simplify the map as much as possible without loosing quality
  4. Export the map from mapshaper as a geojson
  5. Load the exported map file in the admin console and save the form
  6. After the map is loaded use the admin interface to select the admin levels and hit save ( in the map tool )
  7. Add a value in Map activated on ( be use the Today and Now buttons)
  8. Save the form.

Production settings

On production, install a cron for the user (crontab -e) to autobackup the DB

0 4 * * * cd /path/to/project/django && fab backup_prod

Rebuilding search

You can rebuild search any time you want or if you realise there's some data missing from search

manage.py rebuild_search

Donor tools

When you delete a Donor from Django admin (as a superuser) and want to sync the donors in all projects:

manage.py remove_stale_donors

When you want to eg. remove a duplicate donor or a typo, you can migrate the project that use the typo or duplicate donor to the one that you want to keep for all projects:

manage.py switch_donor_form_to <DONOR_ID_YOU_WANT_TO_MIGRATE_FROM> <TO_DONOR_ID>

After migrating all projects, you can delete the typo / duplicate donor objects from the admin (don't forget to issue the remove_stale_donors after that.)

Translations command:

On Osx prerequisite is:

brew install gettext

after this command completes:

brew link --overwrite --force gettext may be needed

To scrape the code and extract translations: yarn translation:extract

To Update the translations files in the backend:

cd django
fab update_translations

To see the new string and modify translations: http://localhost/translation

(click on Save and Translate next block to save them)

To have translation appear in the frontend (after saving them at the previous step): docker-compose restart django

Quirks:

Translations are picked up from <translate></translate> blocks this block is declared as a global vue component so it can be used without importing it. If a translation string needs parameters (ie: {{userProfile.name}} hello!) the syntax is <translate :parameters="{name: userProfile.name}"> {name} hello </translate> Also, $gettext('english/base string') method is available in every Vue component via a mixin in the i18n plugin.
