Overview
========

Mezzanine is a powerful, consistent, and flexible content management
platform. Built using the `Django`_ framework, Mezzanine provides a
simple yet highly extensible architecture that encourages diving in
and hacking on the code. Mezzanine is `BSD licensed`_ and supported by
a diverse and active community.

In some ways, Mezzanine resembles tools such as `Wordpress`_ that
provide an intuitive interface for managing pages, blog posts, form
data, store products, and other types of content. But Mezzanine is
also different. Unlike many other platforms that make extensive use of
modules or reusable applications, Mezzanine provides most of its
functionality by default. This approach yields a more integrated and
efficient platform.

people have built using Mezzanine`_.

Dependencies
============

Mezzanine makes use of as few libraries as possible (apart from a
standard Django environment), with the following dependencies:

* `Python`_ 2.6 / 2.7 / 3.3
* `Django`_ 1.4 / 1.5 / 1.6
* `Pillow`_ - for image resizing (`Python Imaging Library`_ fork)
* `grappelli-safe`_ - admin skin (`Grappelli`_ fork)
* `filebrowser-safe`_ - for managing file uploads (`FileBrowser`_ fork)
* `bleach`_ and `BeautifulSoup`_ - for sanitizing markup in content
* `pytz`_ and `tzlocal`_ - for timezone support
* `South`_ - for database migrations (optional)
* `django-compressor`_ - for merging JS/CSS assets (optional)
* `requests`_ and `requests_oauthlib`_ - for interacting with external APIs
* `pyflakes`_ and `pep8`_ - for running the test suite (optional)
* `chardet`_ - for supporting arbitrary encoding in file uploads

Users on Debian or Ubuntu will require some system packages to support
the imaging library::

    $ apt-get install libjpeg8 libjpeg8-dev
    $ apt-get build-dep python-imaging

OSX users can do the same via `Homebrew`_::

    $ brew install libjpeg

Themes
======

A handful of attractive `Free Themes`_ are available thanks to
`@abhinavsohani`_, while there is also a marketplace for buying and
selling `Premium Themes`_ thanks to `@joshcartme`_.

Browser Support
===============

Mezzanine's admin interface works with all modern browsers.
Internet Explorer 7 and earlier are generally unsupported.

Installation
============

The easiest method is to install directly from pypi using `pip`_ by
running the command below, which will also install the required
dependencies mentioned above::

    $ pip install mezzanine

If you prefer, you can download Mezzanine and install it directly from
source::

    $ python setup.py install

Once installed, the command ``mezzanine-project`` can be used to
create a new Mezzanine project in similar fashion to
``django-admin.py``::

    $ mezzanine-project project_name
    $ cd project_name
    $ python manage.py createdb --noinput
    $ python manage.py runserver

.. note::

    The ``createdb`` command is a shortcut for using Django's ``syncdb``
    command and setting the initial migration state for `South`_. You
    can alternatively use ``syncdb`` and ``migrate`` if preferred.
    South is automatically added to INSTALLED_APPS if the
    ``USE_SOUTH`` setting is set to ``True``.

    ``createdb`` will also install some demo content, such as a contact
    form and image gallery. If you'd like to omit this step, use the
    ``--nodata`` option with ``createdb``.

You should then be able to browse to http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ and
log in using the default account (``username: admin, password:
default``). If you'd like to specify a different username and password
during set up, simply exclude the ``--noinput`` option included above
when running ``createdb``.

For information on how to add Mezzanine to an existing Django project,
see the FAQ section of the documentation.

Contributing
============

Mezzanine is an open source project managed using both the Git and
Mercurial version control systems. These repositories are hosted on
both `GitHub`_ and `Bitbucket`_ respectively, so contributing is as
easy as forking the project on either of these sites and committing
back your enhancements.

Please note the following guidelines for contributing:

* Contributed code must be written in the existing style. For Python
  (and to a decent extent, JavaScript as well), this is as simple as
  following the `Django coding style`_ and (most importantly)
  `PEP 8`_. Front-end CSS should adhere to the
  `Bootstrap CSS guidelines`_.
* Contributions must be available on a separately named branch
  based on the latest version of the main branch.
* Run the tests before committing your changes. If your changes
  cause the tests to break, they won't be accepted.
* If you are adding new functionality, you must include basic tests
  and documentation.

Here's a quick start to hacking on Mezzanine after forking it on
GitHub, by using the internal "project_template" as your current
project::

    $ git clone https://github.com/your-github-username/mezzanine/
    $ cd mezzanine
    $ git checkout -b your-new-branch-name
    $ cp mezzanine/project_template/local_settings.py{.template,}
    $ python setup.py develop
    $ python mezzanine/project_template/manage.py createdb --noinput
    $ python mezzanine/project_template/manage.py runserver

    "hack hack hack"

    $ python setup.py test
    $ git commit -am "A message describing what you changed."
    $ git push origin your-new-branch-name


Language Translations
=====================

Mezzanine makes full use of translation strings, which allow Mezzanine
to be translated into multiple languages using `Django's
internationalization`_ methodology. Translations are managed on the
`Transiflex`_ website but can also be submitted via `GitHub`_ or
`Bitbucket`_. Consult the documentation for `Django's
internationalization`_ methodology for more information on creating
translations and using them.
