# AllianceAuth Contacts

This is a plugin for [AllianceAuth](https://gitlab.com/allianceauth/allianceauth) that lets alliances and corporations track and manage their contacts (i.e. standings).

## Overview

### Tracking an Alliance or Corporation

Users with the right [permission](#permissions) can add an alliance or corporation just by clicking on the + button in the index page.

### Viewing Contacts

The index page shows all the alliances and corporations that have been added and are available for that user, that means every alliance or corporation in which the user has a character. Superusers can see all the alliances and corporations.

In every alliance or corporation view, the user can see the contacts and their standings. If it has the right [permissions](#permissions), the user can see and edit notes or trigger a manual update of the contacts.

### Secure Groups integration

If the [Secure Groups](https://github.com/Solar-Helix-Independent-Transport/allianceauth-secure-groups) plugin is installed, a new smart filter will appear in the admin panel of AA Contacts. It allows to filter users by the standings a corporation or alliance has set for them or their alliance/corporation.

Note: when multiple corporations/alliances are set, the logic applies an OR condition, i.e. it is sufficient that at least 1 corp/alliance meets the requirement for the filter to pass. If you want to apply an AND condition, you need to create one filter per condition and put them together in the smart group.

#### Fields

- **comparison**: comparison operator to use
- **standings**: the standing to compare against
- **check type**:
  - at least one character: if at least one character passes the filter, the user passes the filter
  - all characters: all characters have to pass the filter for the user to pass the filter
  - no character: opposite of all characters
- **only main**: consider only the main character
- **corporations** and **alliances**: groups that have set the standings

## Installation

1. Install the package. If you have a traditional installation, run the following command in your terminal:

    ```bash
    pip install aa-contacts
    ```

    If you have a Docker installation instead, add  to your `requirements.txt` file:

    ```pip
    aa-contacts==x.y.z
    ```

    with the desired version and rebuild the Docker stack.

2. Add `'aa_contacts',` to your `INSTALLED_APPS` in `local.py`.

3. Run migrations and collectstatic:

    ```bash
    python manage.py migrate
    python manage.py collectstatic
    ```

    or, if you are on docker:

    ```bash
    auth migrate
    auth collectstatic
    ```

4. Add the update task at the end of the `local.py`:

    ```python
    # AA Contacts
    CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE['aa_contacts_update_all_contacts'] = {
        'task': 'aa_contacts.tasks.update_all_contacts',
        'schedule': crontab(minute='0'),
        'apply_offset': True,
    }
    ```

5. Restart Supervisor if you are on a traditional install or the docker stack if you are on docker.
