Connect is a moderated web application that helps members connect with each other based on skills, interests and location.

Connect is in active development and is not yet feature complete. Please see TODO.rst for major planned features.

Documentation is available at http://django-mentor-connect.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

A demo version of Connect is available to try at http://kabu-connect.herokuapp.com

Use the following authentication details to login:

After cloning the repo, install the requirements with:

pip install -r requirements/dev.txt

Create a local admin account with:

python manage.py createsuperuser

And then check out the site with:

python manage.py runserver

If you want to contribute changes to the code, you'll want to run the test suite.

Run the unit tests with:

python manage.py test

And run the BDD tests with:

python manage.py test bdd

To run an individual BDD feature, use, eg:

python manage.py test bdd --behave_include logout

If you want to use postgres locally instead of sqlite (we recommend you use posgtres in CI, staging and production, so running it locally can help you catch database edge case bugs early), you can override the default database using the DATABASE_URL environment variable, eg:

export DATABASE_URL=posgtres://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/DB-NAME

For more info, check out docs/installation.rst and docs/configuration.rst.

Make sure all the BDD tests pass before submitting any PRs, and feel free to add yourself to AUTHORS.rst if you want the glory!

Connect is BSD licenced.

If you are using Connect for your group or organisation, we'd love to know about it. Please add yourself to USERS.rst
