Oscar Wagtail demo project

A Django recipe for integrating Oscar E-commerce into a Wagtail CMS application.

We do not recommend using this project to start your own site. This recipe is only to provide some examples of implementing common features, it is not an exemplar of Django, Oscar or Wagtail best practice.

If you're reasonably new to Python/Django, we suggest you run this project on a Virtual Machine using Vagrant, which helps resolve common software dependency issues. However instructions to start this project without Vagrant follow below.

Setup with Vagrant

Dependencies

• VirtualBox
• Vagrant 1.5+

Installation

Run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/pgovers/oscar-wagtail-demo.git
cd oscar-wagtail-demo
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
  (then, within the SSH session:)
./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

The demo site will now be accessible at http://localhost:8000/ and the Wagtail admin interface at http://localhost:8000/admin/ . Log into the admin with the credentials admin / changeme.

Setup without Vagrant

Don't want to set up a whole VM to try out Wagtail? No problem.

Dependencies

• PostgreSQL or SQLite
• PIP

Installation

With PostgreSQL running (and configured to allow you to connect as the 'postgres' user - if not, you'll need to adjust the createdb line and the database settings in wagtaildemo/settings/base.py accordingly), run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/pgovers/oscar-wagtail-demo.git
cd oscar-wagtail-demo
virtualenv .
source bin/activate
createdb -Upostgres oscarwagtaildemo
make develop
./manage.py runserver

The make develop command combines:

• make clean cleaning any compiled Python files
• make install installing dependencies via pip package manager
• make migrations performing ./manage migrations to perform database migrations
• make fixtures load both Wagtail and Oscar fixtures and perform update_index
• make superuser create superuser (you'll be prompted for username, e-mail address and password)

The demo site will now be accessible at http://localhost:8000/, the Wagtail admin interface at http://localhost:8000/admin/ and the Oscar dashboard interface at http://localhost:8000/dashboard/. Log into them with the credentials inserted in earlier step.

SQLite support

SQLite is supported as an alternative to PostgreSQL - update the DATABASES setting in wagtaildemo/settings/base.py to use 'django.db.backends.sqlite3' and set NAME to be the full path of your database file, as you would with a regular Django project.
