Edit the file and adjust the parameters of the connection to OpenERP. You’ll have to configure all passages. The following ones are especially important for the interconnection with the OpenERP server and error detection:

• LANGUAGES

  Defines the languages of your web shop. They have to be the same as in OpenERP.

  #Edit your languagesLANGUAGE_CODE = 'es'LANGUAGES = (
      ('es', ugettext('Spanish')),
      ('en', ugettext('English')),
  )
  DEFAULT_LANGUAGE = 1
  LOCALE_URI = True

• OERP_SALE

  Indicates which OpenERP shop should be used in Zoook (just for the case that you have several shops).

  OERP_SALE = 1 #Sale Shop. All price, orders, ... use this Sale Shop ID.

• LOGS

  Defines the path to Zoooks logging files.

  LOGFILE = '/home/roberto/django-projects/zoook-app/log/sync.log'#path sync logLOGSALE = '/home/roberto/django-projects/zoook-app/log/sale.log'#path sale log

• DATABASES

  Defines where and how Zoook finds its database.

  DATABASES = {
      'default': {
          'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.'NAME': 'dj_zoook',     # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.'USER': 'openerp',      # Not used with sqlite3.'PASSWORD': 'openerp',  # Not used with sqlite3.'HOST': 'localhost',    # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.'PORT': '5432',         # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
      }
  }
  

• OERP_CONF

  Defines the connection to the XML-RPC service of OpenERP.

  OERP_CONF = {
      'username':'admin',
      'password':'openerp',
      'dbname':'openerp',
      'protocol':'xmlrpc', #xmlrpc'uri':'http://localhost', #xmlrpc'port':8069, #xmlrpc# 'protocol':'pyro', #pyro# 'uri':'localhost', #pyro# 'port':8071, #pyro
  }
  

Contains the routes to Zoook so that the SSH synchronisation process can find the needed files.

djpath = '/home/roberto/django-projects/zoook-app'

Edit this file to assign a new unique password to Zoook. I’d recommend to use a password generator such as safepasswd.com.

# Make this unique, and don't share it with anybody.SECRET_KEY = 'YOUR_PASSWORD_GOES_HERE'

• Generate the data base structure

  $ cd ~/django-projects/zoook-app
  $ python manage.py syncdb
  

  The script will ask if you want to create a new super-user. Affirm and pass it the needed data for the account you’ll later want to administer Zoook with.

   

   

  

   

  Create a superuser for Django.

Execute the configuration assistant and give it further information needed by Django.

• Execute configuration.py

  $ cd ~/django-projects/zoook-app
  $ ./configuration.py
  

  The output should look like this:

   

   

  

   

  Configuration of Django.

• Change the permissions in the sync directory

  $ cd ~/django-projects/zoook-app/
  $ sudo chown -R roberto:www-data *
  $ sudo chmod 775 -R sync
  

• Run the server

  $ cd ~/django-projects/zoook-app/
  $ python manage.py runserver
  

  this should show something like:

   

   

  

   

  Successfully initiated Django server.

  Open your browser and open up the direction of the server (http://127.0.0.1:8000/). Zoook should load the first time and you should end up with a site like this:

   

   

  

   

  Start page of Zoook.

  Access the administration area with the super user credentials created beforehand:

   

   

  

   

  Zooks administration page.

As a default Zoook’s module do absolute imports with a zoook. prefix. You’ll have to convert these absolute imports to relative ones. That is, to eliminate this ‘zoook’ prefix. Modify the following files as indicated.
