Generating a static site
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
This document describes how to render your Wagtail site into static HTML files using `django medusa`_ and the 'wagtail.contrib.wagtailmedusa' module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing django-medusa
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Firstly, install django medusa from pip:
|
|
|
|
.. code::
|
|
|
|
pip install django-medusa
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then add 'django_medusa' and 'wagtail.contrib.wagtailmedusa' to INSTALLED_APPS:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: python
|
|
|
|
INSTALLED_APPS = [
|
|
...
|
|
'django_medusa',
|
|
'wagtail.contrib.wagtailmedusa',
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Replacing GET parameters with custom routing
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Pages which require GET parameters (eg, pagination) don't generate suitable filenames for generated HTML files so they need to be changed to use custom routing instead.
|
|
|
|
For example, lets say we have a Blog Index which uses pagination. We can override the 'route' method to make it respond on urls like '/page/1' and pass the page number through to the serve method:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: python
|
|
|
|
class BlogIndex(Page):
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
def serve(self, request, page=1):
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
def route(self, request, path_components):
|
|
if self.live and len(path_components) == 2 and path_components[0] == 'page':
|
|
try:
|
|
return self.serve(request, page=int(path_components[1]))
|
|
except (TypeError, ValueError):
|
|
pass
|
|
|
|
return super(BlogIndex, self).route(request, path_components)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rendering pages which use custom routing
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
For page types that override the route method, we need to let django medusa know which URLs it responds on. This is done by overriding the 'get_static_site_paths' method to make it yield one string per URL path.
|
|
|
|
For example, the BlogIndex above would need to yield one URL for each page of results:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: python
|
|
|
|
def get_static_site_paths(self):
|
|
# Get page count
|
|
page_count = ...
|
|
|
|
# Yield a path for each page
|
|
for page in range(page_count):
|
|
yield '/%d/' % (page + 1)
|
|
|
|
# Yield from superclass
|
|
for path in super(BlogIndex, self).get_static_site_paths():
|
|
yield path
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rendering
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
To render a site, just run ``./manage.py staticsitegen``. This will render the entire website and place the HTML in a folder called 'medusa_output'. The static and media folders need to be copied into this folder manually after the rendering is complete.
|
|
|
|
To test, open the 'medusa_output' folder in a terminal and run ``python -m SimpleHTTPServer``.
