Templates
Introduction
You can set the which template Sahana Eden uses in /private/templates/000_config.py with the line:
settings.base.template = "default"
Templates allow selecting alternate configuration sets.
This allows a separation between Core Code & Settings/Custom Code.
This helps prevent merge conflicts between different deployment branches & hence reduces the risk of forking.
Description
Configuration is done using these files:
/private/templates/000_config.py/private/templates/default/config.py/private/templates/<template>/config.py
During the 1st run, 000_config.py is copied to models/
000_config.py includes:
FINISHED_EDITING_CONFIG_FILEVERSION- machine-specific configuration (Debug, Database, SMTP, API Keys, etc)
- a setting to define which template folder to run
- importing of settings from
/private/templates/<template>/config.py - optional local overrides to the template's settings
Prepopulate Data
An empty database isn't terribly useful - e.g. maps won't display at all.
Options for how to Prepopulate the database are defined in the template's config.py (but can be overridden in the running 000_config.py):
settings.base.prepopulate = ["default"]- DeveloperGuidelines/PrePopulate
