Bangoo is a content management system on the top of Django.

• Remove django.contrib.admin from INSTALLED_APPS and everything related to it (e.g.: imports in urls.py).

• Add these lines to the INSTALLED_APPS:

  'angular',
  'crispy_forms',
  'easy_thumbnails',
  'mptt',
  'taggit',
  'bangoo.core',
  'bangoo.navigation',
  'bangoo.theming',
  'bangoo.admin',
  'bangoo.media',
  'bangoo.content',
  

• Set STATICFILES_FINDERS to:

  STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
      'bangoo.theming.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
      'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder'
  )
  

• Set TEMPLATE_LOADERS to:

  TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (
      'bangoo.theming.loaders.themes.Loader',
      'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader',
      'django.template.loaders.eggs.Loader'
  )
  

• Set MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES to:

  MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
      'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
      'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
      'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware',
      'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
      'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
      'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
      'bangoo.theming.middleware.ThemeMiddleware',
      'bangoo.navigation.middleware.MenuResolverMiddleware'
  )
  

• Set TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS to:

  TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
      'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
      'django.core.context_processors.request',
      'django.core.context_processors.static',
      'django.core.context_processors.media',
      'django.core.context_processors.i18n',
      'bangoo.theming.context_processors.act_theme',
      'bangoo.navigation.context_processors.act_menu'
  )
  

• Set AUTH_USER_MODEL to core.User

• Set available system languages. Example:

  LANGUAGES = (
      ('en', u'English'),
      ('hu', u'Hungarian'),
  )
  

  Use 2 letter country codes.

• Set the theme template directory path:

  THEMES_BASE_DIR = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__)), 'themes').replace('\\', '/')
  

  And the default theme:

  THEME = 'default'
  

  In the example above the THEMES_BASE_DIR is expected to point to the themes directory in the current working directory. default theme should be located in themes/default then.

• Set CRISPY_TEMPLATE_PACK to bootstrap3. (Or anything valid. See the docs)

• Add admin and media URLs and also append Bangoo's navigation URLs to your URL patterns:

  urlpatterns = patterns('',
      url(r'^admin/', include('bangoo.admin.urls')),
      url(r'^media/', include('bangoo.media.admin.urls'))
  ) + i18n_patterns('',
      url(r'', include('bangoo.navigation.urls')),
  )
  

  Don't forget to import i18n_patterns: from django.conf.urls.i18n import i18n_patterns

• python manage.py migrate

• Create the theme directory by invoking python manage.py create-theme

Builtin and external plugins (e.g.: bangoo.content, plugins.blog) usually extend base.html template. You should add header and content template blocks to this file to make these plugins work.
