Sphene Community Tools (SCT) - http://sct.sphene.net Copyright (C) by Herbert Poul (herbert.poul@gmail.com) Sphene Community Tools are django applications to build communities and similiar websites designed to be easily pluggable into any django project to build. It currently consists of a forum, wiki and blog application. ## Directories - sphenecoll/ Collection of django application (the base source for SCT). - static/ Static media files which contain images and css. ## Requirements - [Django](http://www.djangoproject.com) 1.0 or later - Python >= 2.4 (Use >= 2.5 if you need wiki diffs with unicode support) - [PyCrypto](http://sf.net/projects/pycrypto) - (e.g. debian package python-crypto) - [Python Imaging Library (PIL)](http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/) ## Installation (Note: Since 0.6 SCT also comes with an experimental setup.py - if you are using (e.g. by executing: python setup.py install) please provide feedback on http://sct.sphene.net/ or herbert.poul@gmail.com if it worked or if you encountered any problems.) ### Python library path You need to add sphenecoll/ to your python include path and static/ needs to be served from your django installation. (static/sphene/ is enough) ### Maintenance cron job (Optional) To recaulcate heat for forum threads and similar, you should add the following cronjob to run once a day (or similar) /path/to/your/django/project/manage.py sph_maintenance ### Cache SCT makes use of django caching framework - it is therefore advised to configure CACHE_BACKEND django setting & co. look at the [django caching documentation](http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/cache/) ### Search Please follow the [search documentation](http://sct.sphene.net/wiki/show/Search/). ## Examples There are currently two examples - a very simplistic 'simpleproject' in the examples/ directory (see examples/simpleproject/README) and a more sophisticated example called CommunityDraft which i recommend as using as a base for your own projects (if you start from scratch).
