2. Getting started¶

2.1. Requirements¶

Required¶

django-cms 2.2 or higher
pytz
unidecode
BeautifulSoup
feedparser
gdata

Recommended¶

django-filer with its django CMS plugins, file and image management application to use instead of some core plugins
django-cms-themes

Note:

When installing the GoScale CMS using pip, Django, django-cms, pytz, unidecode, BeautifulSoup, feedparser and gdata will be installed automatically.

2.2. Installation¶

We’re assuming you’re already running a functional version of Django CMS. If not, follow their tutorial first:

Python package¶

Install using pip or easy_install:

pip install goscalecms

settings.py¶

Add “goscale” and desired plugins to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'goscale',
    'goscale.plugins.videos',
    'goscale.plugins.pictures',
    'goscale.plugins.feeds',
    'goscale.plugins.forms',
    'goscale.plugins.calendar',
    'goscale.plugins.presentations',
)

urls.py¶

Add GoScale URL patterns:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^goscale/', include('goscale.urls')),
    url(r'^', include('cms.urls')),
)

Sync your Database¶

Run:

python manage.py syncdb
python manage.py migrate

Good to go!¶

Now if you run you Django server you should have GoScale plugins available for your CMS placeholders.
