FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

# and #

I want to add an extra field or step to # or # process. Where should I start?

The accounts app contains most of the # and # functionality. The views are all class based and can be easily extended. There are two places you can start:

• src/accounts/forms.py: You can add extra fields like captchas here
• src/accounts/views.py: You can change the functionality like sending confirmation emails here

I don't prefer a full height cover image. How can I change it?

You can reduce the height of the jumbotron, say add this to the end of in main.css to make the cover image half the height of the browser window:

.corporate-jumbo { height: 50%; }

Deployment

How to run this with gunicorn?

In production you will want to use the production settings.py. Make sure that your wsgi.py picks up the right settings. You can do this in two ways:

1. Set the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE to point to my_proj.settings.production

2. Edit or copy the wsgi.py with the following line:

    os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "my_proj.settings.production")
