> After finishing zombiepress a friend of mine wanted to use it but asked for
|
|
some kind of conversion to static since he uploads its current blog to github.
|
|
That's how this project was born.
|
|
|
|
Django as a static site? Of course, it's possible, only if your project it's
|
|
using a simple backend infrastructure, it doesn't let users modify the
|
|
database, and also doesn't have contact forms or that kind of stuff. The
|
|
conversion of a blog into static content was really easy, in about 30 minutes
|
|
I had an alpha working -which is the 0.1.2 version uploaded in github/pypi-.
|
|
|
|
django-stampu is basically a crawler. Some people led me to solutions much
|
|
more complicated. (Ex. Running a command and let the computer work.) And I
|
|
didn't like that. I wanted a conversion of the site as I see it when running
|
|
the `runserver` command, for that purpose you have to follow all the internal
|
|
links of the site and save the items as *.html if the content-type matches. It
|
|
also saves the static files in the site, but I need to look further into that,
|
|
because it can't save files needed by css files yet, it only checks for
|
|
src/href attributes on all tags in html files.
|
|
|
|
Want to try it?
|
|
|
|
1. Install django-stampu: `pip install django-stampu`
|
|
2. Add it to your `INSTALLED_APPS`
|
|
3. Execute the command: `python manage.py stamp`
|
|
4. Check the `_static` folder.
|
|
|
|
Easy, right? That's what I want to hear!
|
|
|
|
Keep in mind that this is a proof of concept, I need to improve lots of things
|
|
and add some configuration variables for people that want to customize their
|
|
sites.
