Installation
PyPI
pip install djangocms-shiny-app
GitHub (development branch)
pip install git+http://github.com/mfcovington/djangocms-shiny-app.git@develop

Configuration

Install django CMS and start a project, if one doesn’t already exist.
Unless you use this app as part of djangocms-lab-site or plan to style the app from scratch, you will want to choose the Use Twitter Bootstrap Theme option (when running djangocms) and then edit the resulting templates/base.html.

This will add style that looks like Bootstrap 2. To use Bootstrap 3 styling, remove the following line for the bootstrap-theme.min.css stylesheet from templates/base.html:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/3.x.x/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css">

The default menu settings for django CMS using Bootstrap will allow the user to access specific lab members via a dropdown menu, but will not give easy access to the summary page of all Shiny apps. To fix this do one of the following:

In templates/base.html, change {% show_menu 0 1 100 100 "menu.html" %} to {% show_menu 0 0 100 100 "menu.html" %}, or
Use a split button dropdowns by changing that line to {% show_menu 0 100 1 1 ‘_menu.html’ %} and populate _menu.html as done in djangocms-lab-site.

Edit the project’s settings.py file.

Add cms_shiny and its dependencies to INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
# ...
'cms_shiny',
'easy_thumbnails',
'filer',
'mptt',
)

Add easy_thumbnail settings:

# For easy_thumbnails to support retina displays (recent MacBooks, iOS)
THUMBNAIL_HIGH_RESOLUTION = True
THUMBNAIL_QUALITY = 95
THUMBNAIL_PROCESSORS = (
'easy_thumbnails.processors.colorspace',
'easy_thumbnails.processors.autocrop',
'filer.thumbnail_processors.scale_and_crop_with_subject_location',
'easy_thumbnails.processors.filters',
)
THUMBNAIL_PRESERVE_EXTENSIONS = ('png', 'gif')
THUMBNAIL_SUBDIR = 'versions'

To access cms_shiny pages without using a django CMS AppHook, include URL configurations for cms_shiny in your project’s urls.py file:

For Django 1.7:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# ...
url(r'^shiny_apps/', include('cms_shiny.urls', namespace='cms_shiny')),
# ...
)

For Django 1.8:
urlpatterns = [
# ...
url(r'^shiny_apps/', include('cms_shiny.urls', namespace='cms_shiny')),
# ...
]

Migrations
Create and perform cms_shiny migrations:
python manage.py makemigrations cms_shiny
python manage.py migrate

Start the development server:

python manage.py runserver

Visit: http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Create a CMS page and then:

Attach the Shiny Apps App under Advanced Settings for the page, OR
Insert the Shiny App Plugin into a placeholder field.
