Tango Shared Core

Provides shared and core functionality used by multiple Tango apps, and will be installed by them as needed.

Build Status

So what's in here, anyway?

Base models

Abstract base models are included for common content objects, including images, so you can handle common fields and needs quickly, easily and consistently.

Useful settings

A lot of them. Seriously, take a look at the settings file.

Template tags and filters

  • Formatting helpers
  • Simple (and non-tracking) social media links.
  • Additional time output helpers

A robust base template

Based on HTML5 Boilerplate, but for Django, and battle-tested.

A administrator how-to section in the admin

You already have developer documentation in the admin. This gives you hooks to include documentation aimed at administrators as well, just by including a how_to.md file in your app. See the other Tango apps for examples.

Middleware and Context Processors

  • StripEmptyLines: Strips HTML output of excessive newlines
  • CompactHTMLMiddleware: Pseudo-minification for HTML output, good for a 30-40% reduction in file size. Not entirely safe with pre tags. Use with caution.
  • The site_processor context processor adds a bunch of useful things in context.

Utils

  • Robust user submission sanitization
  • map tools to ease Google Map integration

JS

  • A solid implementation of Markitup

Installation

Installation should be automatic, from the application needing it.

You can also install from pip or github.

If you run into appRegistry issues, be sure INSTALLED_APPS contains easy_thumbnails and django.contrib.contenttypes.
