Django Blog Demo

Simple Django and Contentful Application. This application is for Demo purposes.

Contentful provides a content infrastructure for digital teams to power content in websites, apps, and devices. Unlike a CMS, Contentful was built to integrate with the modern software stack. It offers a central hub for structured content, powerful management and delivery APIs, and a customizable web app that enable developers and content creators to ship digital products faster.

Setup

• Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

• Run Server

python manage.py runserver

Viewing Data

The project comes pre-loaded with a Read-Only Demo space. You can view the content here

Using Custom Data

You can create your own Custom Data by following these steps:

Ruby 1.9+ and Bundler are required for this step if you want to do it automatically.

• Install Contentful Bootstrap:

bundle install

• Create your space:

bundle exec contentful_bootstrap create_space django_demo -j bootstrap/template.json

After following the steps, the tool will provide you with a Space ID and Access Token. Then run the following commands replacing the values where they correspond:

export CTF_SPACE_ID=YOUR_SPACE_ID
export CTF_DELIVERY_KEY=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN

Then you can restart your application and use your own content.

To edit content, you can go to https://app.contentful.com and start editing.
