Requirements
python >= 2.4 django >= 1.0
Usage
Add ‘brainstorm’ to your INSTALLED_APPS setting.
Add a reference to brainstorm.urls somewhere in your urls.py:
(r'^', include('brainstorm.urls')), # something that looks like thisLogin to the django admin and create a subsite.
A subsite has a slug, name, description, theme, and a number of other options. The important two are theme and slug, slug dictates where the subsite will live and theme specifies the name of a theme template (see Creating Themes for details)
Creating Themes
A theme is represented by a single django template, currently kept at templates/themes/themename.html
Required Elements
The theme must include a content block that will be filled by the page, the theme should also include “idea_form.html” if you wish to use the generic idea submission form.
Example dynamic content block:
<!-- content -->
<div>
<h2 id="secondLogo"><a href="http://mysite.com/subsite/">{{subsite.name}}</a></h2>
<div id="featureBox">
<p>project description</p>
</div>
<div id="ltColumn">
{% block content %}
{% endblock %}
</div>
<div id="rtColumn">
<h3>Submit New Idea</h3>
{% include "idea_form.html" %}
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
Styling the Theme
Obviously the styling/design of the static portions of the theme is entirely within the hands of the designer. There are however a few dynamic sections which typically will need some form of styling.
index
The ‘content’ block of the index contains two divs: ‘div#ideas’ and ‘div#pagination’.
‘div#ideas’ contains an list where each li is a pair of div.btnVote and div.voteContent. When a div.btnVote has been voted up it will have the additional class ‘voted’ to allow for additional styling.
‘div.btnVote’ contains the link ‘a.vote_link’ for voting and ‘div.votes_counted’ for displaying the current vote total.
‘div.voteContent’ contains an <h3> with the idea title, a div.commentMeta with the idea’s submitter/date, and a <p> with the description.
idea
The content block of the idea page contains two divs: ‘div#idea’ and ‘div#comments’.
‘div#idea’ contains a single pair of ‘div.btnVote’ and ‘div.voteContent’ (see index for description of these elements)
‘div#comments’ contains an <h3> with the number of comments, then an ordered list where each <li> has the following elements:
div.commentMeta which contains span.commentMetaAuthor and span.commentMetaDate
div.commentContent which contains a <p> with the comment itself
(TODO: comment form)
