Ho do i add or remove the top level schools and also change the logo ?

Dirk said:

Hi Satyakam

To add another top level school, you need to add the school using the admin interface (http://localhost:8000/en/admin).

After you've done that the school will show up on the learn page, but not in the footer. To show the school in the footer you need to update the code in https://github.com/p2pu/lernanta/blob/master/lernanta/apps/schools/templatetags/school_tags.py#L18

Hope that helps

Cheers

Hello,

I have a couple of questions on language settings in lernanta.

How does lernanta handle a URL such as "localhost:8000/en" or "localhost:8000/es"?

I noticed that I can change urls from "/en/" to "/es" by changing language preferences in my browser. I also know that Django will use the Accept-Language header to set the current localization. But I am not sure how the lernanta application itself uses this information.

As far as I can see the URL patterns only handle urls such as "localhost:8000/pagename" and not "localhost:8000/en/pagename" or "localhost:8000/en/pagename".

A second question is why translations are not showing up in my local setup even when I change the browser language preference, and/or the LANGUAGE_CODE value in the settings.py file.

According to Django documentation it will load translations from "locale" directory if it is present in the same directory as the "settings.py" file. I have this directory, and there are .mo and .po files in sub-directories of this directory.

Thanks,

Prasanth

Hi Prasanth

Lernanta uses middleware to rewrite the URL according to the HTTP headers

The applicable middleware is i10n.LocaleURLRewriter and is configure in setting.py. It also uses i10n.urlresolvers.Prefixer to determine the language.

As for the second question, I'm not exactly sure? It works on my local host when I manually change the URL.

You shouldn't need to change to LANGUAGE_CODE in setting.py, I think LANGUAGE_CODE just sets the initial value used for new users and new course forms. And probably when the HTTP headers doesn't contain any language info.

Hope that helps a bit.

On my localhost, static files are served properly for URLs starting with "/static" but not for URLs starting with "/en/static". And, it is taking longer to load front page from my local server, than to download the same from p2p2.org.

For example:

$ ./manage.py runserver
Validating models...

[04/Jun/2012 03:27:59] "GET /en/static/js/libs/prettify/prettify.css HTTP/1.1" 404 17122

"en" is the LANGUAGE_CODE, and I am running code from he current master on github.

I am still learning Django and can't tell how and where the "/en" URLs get generated. I experimented by commenting out 'l10n.middleware.LocaleURLRewriter' middleware in settings.py. But then I get redirected to "archive.p2pu.org". I confirmed that the middleware was disabled by using "./mange.py diffsettings" and by checking "django.conf.settings.MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES" in Django shell.

This raises another question: Does the develpment setting use settings.py or settings_local.py? In "manage.py" file only the latter is imported (if present). Using "./manage.py shell" I inspected os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'], and it is set to "lernanta.settings_local". But then how did changes in "settings.py" show up in Django? Is Django automatically reading "settings.py"?

Any help would be appreciated. I did read the Github wiki pages, but couldn't find this information: appologies if I missed something.

Jos said:

Hi Prasanth,

I've noticed the static issue too, it seems to be making a lot more calls since changes around this commit: https://github.com/p2pu/lernanta/commit/0f1706f8665329a1847a8ae56b9471825a94d2a5

Not sure that is intended, as I know little Django too; Dirk can probably clarify that.

The language redirect uses the variable SUPPORTED_NONLOCALES in the settings.py file. If you have a look at the file apps/l10n/urlresolvers.py you will see how it loops on that variable and redirects accordingly.

As far as I know, local settings can override some of the app settings in settings.py, so both files are actually used.

Hope that helps a little! :)

Dirk said:

Hi Prasanth

Previously django stored all static files in a single location, normally /media. Recently they decided to split user uploaded files from static files like JavaScript and CSS. I updated Lernanta about two weeks ago and sorted out a bunch of problems, but clearly not everything.

I don't really know why you get accesses to /en/static? On my local host I'm only getting access to /static/ and one access to https://p2pu.org/en/static/member-missing.png. The member-missing.png access happens because profile pictures are loaded from gravatar if they don't have a profile picture specified.

I'll see if I can find anything strange going on, but if you find something in the meantime, please let us know.

Thanks for your input!

on June 4, 2012, 6:54 a.m. in reply to Prasanth

Dirk said:

I think I figured out what the problem may be!

Is DEBUG set to False in you setting_local.py? When running your code with DEBUG=True runserver automatically sorts out your static files for you. This is just for convenience while developing. Once you set DEBUG=False, it doesn't do so anymore.

Currently there is a URL mapping for serving the media files when DEBUG=True, but there isn't one for the static files, see this.

You can add one for static files - use STATIC_URL and STATIC_ROOT and be sure to run 'manage.py collectstatic' to get all the static files at STATIC_ROOT

I added an issue on github about this.

Prasanth said:

Hello,

Setting DEBUG=True solves the problem. I had set DEBUG=False to see the 404 page. Thanks for the help.

I have opened a pull request (#134) on Github that fixes this issue in the manner you suggest.

Looking at urls.py, there doesn't seem to be code that checks the value of DEBUG. Is this specified somewhere else?

Running runserver gives following log messages:

$ ./manage.py runserver

Dirk said:

Hi Prasanth

Thank you very much for the pull request on github, I went ahead and merged it to master!

I assume that django.views.static_serve checks for the DEBUG flag. They mention that it only works for DEBUG=True in the documentation.

on June 5, 2012, 2:45 a.m. in reply to Prasanth

Prasanth said:

Hello,

Thanks for the pointers.

It seems that if the current code is directly pushed to production, then Django will end up serving both static files and media files. So, in production do we configure apache (or other servers) to serve both STATIC_URL and MEDIA_URL directly, without going to Django?

Prasanth

on June 5, 2012, 10:55 a.m. in reply to Dirk

Dirk said:

Yes, those URLs are handled by Apache and doesn't get passed on to Django.

It is possible to still use django as an authentication provider for these directories (probably only /media), but we aren't doing that currently

Corbin Tarrant said:

Zuzel helped me through the mailing list.

The test badge challenges and the study group I had created were all marked as "Under Development" so they weren't showing up.

I unchecked those and the badge challenges appeared under view all. I still couldn't see the test study group I created though. Although it did list the two tags (div, test) (and had previously as well, while it was "Under Development"). I changed it to a challenge and sure enough it showed up. So is this a bug or is "View All" not supposed to show study groups? Either way I don't think it should say under tags: div(1) test(1) and then give zero results when clicked.

Thanks for your help Vladimir.

Got it working :-) Turns out it was a problem in my database. Here's what I did in case anyone else has the same problem. I ran the following commands:

git fetch origin
git merge origin/master git fetch upstream git merge upstream/master

mkvirtualenv --clear --no-site-packages lernanta pip install -r requirements/compiled.txt pip install -r requirements/prod.txt pip install -r requirements/dev.txt

Then I ran the syncdb script

python manage.py syncdb --noinput --migrate

which brought up this error (I'm only pasting the beginning of the error output as it's pretty long):

Skipping creation of NoticeTypes as notification app not found Syncing... Creating tables ... Installing custom SQL ... Installing indexes ... No fixtures found. Migrating... Running migrations for users: - Migrating forwards to 0010_auto__add_field_userprofile_preflang. > users:0003_auto__add_userprofile ! Error found during real run of migration! Aborting. ! Since you have a database that does not support running ! schema-altering statements in transactions, we have had ! to leave it in an interim state between migrations. ! You *might* be able to recover with: = DROP TABLE `users_userprofile` CASCADE; []

I tried to run the "DROP TABLE" command but it didn't work for me so I dropped and recreated the database, after which the syncdb script worked with no errors, and I was able to access the site with no error :-)

As an aside I got this ~~error~~ warning when running one of the requirements scripts:

The other pages should work so you should be able to create an account and log in:

Once you're logged in, you don't see the landing page that is causing the problems. I haven't tested this but that's my theory :)

Just copy that url and paste it into the browser. Take out the "=" though cause that's formatting and not part of the real url.

What happens when you run ./manage.py dbshell

It is a problem with the python packages. I tried from a Linux after running pip install -r requirements/prod.txt and the problem occurred. After checking what it tries I did:

pip install --upgrade django-cache-machine

After that ./manage.py dbshell works as well as the rest.

Thanks Vladimir, I think that solved it.

When entering:

mysqladmin -u <user> -p create <database name>

Should I be typing? :

mysqladmin -u lernanta -p create lernanta

Thanks Vladimir! That fixed the problem!

I also ran into an error with the activity model that I got around by commenting out the code below

class ActivityManager(ManagerBase): def public(self): """Get list of activities to show on splash page."""

In activity/models.py.

Hi Faheem,

You need to use the user that you have for mysql. I have to do that with root first then make a lernanta user. If you have already, then you're set.

To make a lernanta user and grant everything to it:

> mysql -u root -p (prompts for password … enter it)

now are in mysql monitor

> create user 'lernanta'@'localhost' identified by 'lernpassword';

> grant all privileges on *.* to 'lernanta'@'localhost';

If you don't have the database already, you can create it in the mysql monitor with:

> create database lernanta;

Also, make sure your settings_local.py mirror what you have set up. So whatever password you put in, put it there.

Hope that helps!

I should read the output when running those. Thank you again for your help, Vladimir! That fixed my issue as well :)

Me too. We didn't used to get that. I'm going to file a bug report since we shouldn't need to comment out code in order to develop.

Hi Jessica,

I keep getting 'Access Denied' after entering what I would think the root pw would be. Is there a specific mySQL root pw?

Jessica Ledbetter said:

You may have set it and forgotten. Happens to me too :)

Here are a few ways to reset it:

Let me know if that didn't work for you.

I'm doing this on a clean install and it's the first time I'm doing anything mySQL related.

EDIT:

Solved :) http://www.knowledgesutra.com/forums/topic/31717-what-is-mysqls-default-root-password/page__view__findpost__p__394980?s=e17f155316f05a8e089ea527802af3d6

But now I get :

ERROR 1290 (HY000): The MySQL server is running with the --skip-grant-tables option so it cannot execute this statement

hmm.

Sorted! Had to flush priveleges.
