Desucon InfoTV

This packaging may still be a little rough and raw.

In particular, it may be a Good Idea to use Git submodules and pip install -e to set things up.

Try it out

(Set up a virtualenv first, naturally.)

pip install -e .
(cd infotv/frontend && npm i && npm run build)
(python manage.py migrate && python manage.py runserver)

Notes for deployment

• Use npm run release instead of npm run build when deploying. Otherwise your bandwidth will be sad.
• The infotv_cache_weather management command should be run periodically to cache weather data (if required). You'll need an API key from OpenWeatherMap for that.

Notes of other persuasions

• The anime, nownext and social slides assume that the server hosting the app also serves the Desucon.fi API. This will likely not be the case for you, dear reader.
• The frontend supports these query string parameters:
  • ?edit=1 -- edit slides
  • ?only=slideclass -- show only a slide of class slideclass
  • ?slow=1 -- disable transitions (for poor ol' Raspberry Pis)
  • ?loc=location -- show only the location location on nownext slides (useful for room-specific schedule displays)
  • ?deck=deckname -- show slides from deck deckname instead of default deck

Settings

• INFOTV_POLICY_CLASS: A dotted path to a class that declares certain authentication and lookup policies (see infotv.policy)
• INFOTV_EVENT_MODEL: A dotted path to the model for "events" (if the default policy is used). If None, no actual DB lookup is done for events.
• INFOTV_EVENT_SLUG_ATTR: The name of a "slug"/unique-identifier attribute in the event model above (if the default policy is used). Defaults to slug.
• INFOTV_STYLE: The theme from styles/... subdirectory for the front-end. Defaults to desucon.
