Overview

Mezzanine is a powerful, consistent, and flexible content management platform. Built using the Django framework, Mezzanine provides a simple yet highly extensible architecture that encourages diving in and hacking on the code. Mezzanine is BSD licensed and supported by a diverse and active community.

In some ways, Mezzanine resembles tools such as Wordpress that provide an intuitive interface for managing pages, blog posts, form data, store products, and other types of content. But Mezzanine is also different. Unlike many other platforms that make extensive use of modules or reusable applications, Mezzanine provides most of its functionality by default. This approach yields a more integrated and efficient platform.

Visit the Mezzanine project page to see some of the great sites people have built using Mezzanine.

Dependencies

Mezzanine makes use of as few libraries as possible (apart from a standard Django environment), with the following dependencies:

Python 2.6 / 2.7 / 3.3
Django 1.4 / 1.5 / 1.6
Pillow - for image resizing (Python Imaging Library fork)
grappelli-safe - admin skin (Grappelli fork)
filebrowser-safe - for managing file uploads (FileBrowser fork)
bleach and BeautifulSoup - for sanitizing markup in content
pytz and tzlocal - for timezone support
South - for database migrations (optional)
django-compressor - for merging JS/CSS assets (optional)
requests and requests_oauthlib - for interacting with external APIs
pyflakes and pep8 - for running the test suite (optional)
chardet - for supporting arbitrary encoding in file uploads

Users on Debian or Ubuntu will require some system packages to support the imaging library:

$ apt-get install libjpeg8 libjpeg8-dev
$ apt-get build-dep python-imaging

OSX users can do the same via Homebrew:

$ brew install libjpeg

Themes

A handful of attractive Free Themes are available thanks to @abhinavsohani, while there is also a marketplace for buying and selling Premium Themes thanks to @joshcartme.

Browser Support

Mezzanine's admin interface works with all modern browsers. Internet Explorer 7 and earlier are generally unsupported.

Installation

The easiest method is to install directly from pypi using pip by running the command below, which will also install the required dependencies mentioned above:

$ pip install mezzanine

If you prefer, you can download Mezzanine and install it directly from source:

$ python setup.py install

Once installed, the command mezzanine-project can be used to create a new Mezzanine project in similar fashion to django-admin.py:

$ mezzanine-project project_name
$ cd project_name
$ python manage.py createdb --noinput
$ python manage.py runserver

Note

The createdb command is a shortcut for using Django's syncdb command and setting the initial migration state for South. You can alternatively use syncdb and migrate if preferred. South is automatically added to INSTALLED_APPS if the USE_SOUTH setting is set to True.

createdb will also install some demo content, such as a contact form and image gallery. If you'd like to omit this step, use the --nodata option with createdb.

You should then be able to browse to and log in using the default account (username: admin, password: default). If you'd like to specify a different username and password during set up, simply exclude the --noinput option included above when running createdb.

For information on how to add Mezzanine to an existing Django project, see the FAQ section of the documentation.

Contributing

Mezzanine is an open source project managed using both the Git and Mercurial version control systems. These repositories are hosted on both GitHub and Bitbucket respectively, so contributing is as easy as forking the project on either of these sites and committing back your enhancements.

Please note the following guidelines for contributing:

Contributed code must be written in the existing style. For Python (and to a decent extent, JavaScript as well), this is as simple as following the Django coding style and (most importantly) PEP 8. Front-end CSS should adhere to the Bootstrap CSS guidelines.
Contributions must be available on a separately named branch based on the latest version of the main branch.
Run the tests before committing your changes. If your changes cause the tests to break, they won't be accepted.
If you are adding new functionality, you must include basic tests and documentation.

Here's a quick start to hacking on Mezzanine after forking it on GitHub, by using the internal "project_template" as your current project:

$ git clone https://github.com/your-github-username/mezzanine/
$ cd mezzanine
$ git checkout -b your-new-branch-name
$ cp mezzanine/project_template/local_settings.py{.template,}
$ python setup.py develop
$ python mezzanine/project_template/manage.py createdb --noinput
$ python mezzanine/project_template/manage.py runserver

"hack hack hack"

$ python setup.py test
$ git commit -am "A message describing what you changed."
$ git push origin your-new-branch-name

Language Translations

Mezzanine makes full use of translation strings, which allow Mezzanine to be translated into multiple languages using Django's internationalization methodology. Translations are managed on the Transiflex website but can also be submitted via GitHub or Bitbucket. Consult the documentation for Django's internationalization methodology for more information on creating translations and using them.
