Install

Pull the codes.

CREATE USER :dbname WITH PASSWORD '111111' ;
CREATE DATABASE :dbname OWNER :dbname ;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE :dbname to :dbname ;
\c :dbname ;
create extension hstore;
\q

For Python

You should be under Python 3.4 or Python 3.5.

Install libs for Python 3.4 or 3.5,

cd TorCMS
pip3 install -r doc/requirements.txt

For Deiban/Ubutnu

If you are to use Python of OS system directly, install libs as:

sudo apt isntall -y python3-tornado python3-requests python3-openpyxl python3-markdown python3-htmlmin

How to Run

Get the HTML for modules

$ cd TorCMS
$ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/bukun/torcms_f2elib.git static/f2elib

or using the same f2elib via Gitee:

$ git clone --depth=1 https://gitee.com/bukun/torcms_f2elib.git static/f2elib

Edit the configiure.

$ cd TorCMS/
$ cp cfg_demo.py cfg.py

And, edit the cfg.py file.

DB_CFG = {
    'db': 'torcms',
    'user': 'torcms',
    'pass': '111111',
}

SMTP_CFG = {
    'name': 'TorCMS',
    'host': "smtp.ym.163.com",
    'user': "[email protected]",
    'pass': "",
    'postfix': 'yunsuan.org',
}

SITE_CFG = {
    'site_url': 'http://127.0.0.1:8888',
    'cookie_secret': '123456',
    'DEBUG': False
}

The DB_CFG defines the items used for PostgreSQL.

Modify the meta information of the web application.

Modify the file in TorCMS/database/meta.

• doc_catalog.yaml , which define the catalog of post.
• info_tags.xlsx , which define the catalog of info.

Initialization

python3 helper.py -i init

it will

• initialize the PostgreSQL schema.
• initialize the metadata in database.
• the whoosh database would be initialized.

Run

Run the web application,

python3 server.py 8088

Open web brower and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8088 .

The port should as be defined in config.py .

Enjoy it!

Helper Script

There are some helper scripts used in the programe.

Run the following command to list the different scripts:

python3 helper.py -h

Run the scripts with the -i switcher, we have used init to do something for initialization.

• migrate : for database schema change.
• edit_diff : send email for modification of the posts and pages.
• sitemap : would generate the sitemap for posts and pages.
• check_kind : to check if the kind of post is right.
• check : generate the picture for the relationship of templates. For example:

python3 helper.py -i check templates/theme

would generate the picture for the relationship of the template files.

Unit Tests

First you should install pytest, coverage and pytest-cov with pip ,

pip3 install pytest pytest-cov coverage

then run as follow:

python3 -m pytest tester --cov=./tester --cov-report=html

Build the API documents

under TorCMS

sphinx-apidoc -F -o api_doc torcms

Editing api_doc/conf.py. Add the following line after import sys.

sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath('../'))

That's OK. then generate the HTML documents. Under TorCMS:

sphinx-build -b html api_doc api_html

Publish to PyPi

First, build the distribution.

python setup.py sdist

Then, upload to the website.

twine upload dist/torcms-version.tar.gz
