{{man warn|This page is about the old deprecated gramps-connect based on Django|[https://github.com/gramps-project/django-webapp https://github.com/gramps-project/django-webapp]}}
{{man note|The new gramps-connect based on tornado that only works with Gramps master(upcoming Gramps 5.0) can be found at|[https://github.com/gramps-project https://github.com/gramps-project]}}
= Getting Started =
Without installing Gramps-Connect, you can test it on-line at http://gramps-connect.org/ I'll try to keep that up to date with the current code. It is current as of May 27 July 24 2012. You can view the site in three modes:
* not logged in - should see data of people dead and public. If either a person is dead, or any data is marked private, you should not be able to see it. Living people are marked with "[Living]" (as determined in Preferences -> Text).
* logged in as regular user, ID: '''admin1''', password: '''gramps'''. You can see all data, run reports, export data, but cannot change the database.
* logged in as super user, ID: '''admin''', password: '''gramps'''. You can edit, delete, add, import, etc.
== Status ==
Here, we'll update to let you know when you should remake your database, and keep you apprised of other changes.
July 27, 2012
'''New database format'''. The Database was changed to allow ordered families, parent_families, and tags.
'''Verified Import/Output'''. All genealogical data successfully imported and exported. Items missing from XML:
* researcher
* name formats
* home person
* bookmarks
* name maps
'''Cached Items'''. All items should get a cache when imported.
'''Updated SQL Samples'''. both empty.sql and example.sql where updated.
'''Speed Improvements'''. Added batch transactions and removed rebuild cache on import.
== Functionality ==
=== Search ===
The search will query the database using some knowledge of the data. Generally, the search above a browse screen will search all of the visible data.
** '''S,''' will give all people who have a surname that starts with "S"
** ''',G''' will give all people who have a given name that starts with "G"
* You can use ^ and $ to signify beginning and end respectively:
** '''id=56''' (match all records that have a gramps_id that conatins 56)
** '''id=^M00''' (match all records that have a gramps_id that starts with M00)
** '''id=00$''' (match all records that have a gramps_id that ends with 00)
** '''id=^M00056$''' (match all records that have a gramps_id that is exactly M00056)
* You can add a period in any search term to search a subpart
** '''father.name.suffix=Jr''' (matches all Jrs on Family Browse view)
* There are some fields that you can also separate with commas:
** '''private=1, surname=Smith, given=Joe, death=1850, birth=2000'''
There is a lot of search refinement that can be added here!
=== Admin ===
One can also use the Admin functionality if logged in as a superuser. The superuser can:
* view/add/edit/delete all objects
* edit the CSS for each user
=== Notes ===
Can edit notes with a WYSIWYG editor. Limitations: removes background color tags on editing. You can add font face and font size, but only through manual HTML editing.
== Run your own Gramps-Connect in 30 seconds ==
=== Windows === 1) Get the latest version of Gramps (currently "trunk" from SVN; see [httpTrunk or Gramps 3.5 * https://gramps-project.orgsvn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gramps/trunk* https:/wiki/indexgramps.svn.php?title=Brief_introduction_to_SVN Brief introduction to SVN])sourceforge.net/svnroot/gramps/branches/gramps35 Trunk now uses Gtk3, so use trunk if you can. This will become an easy-to-install package once Gramps 3.5 is releaseduses Gtk2. I use Tortoise SVN. BelowI put gramps on the Desktop, it is assumed that you have the following installedbut anywhere will work. 2) Install pysqlite: http://code.google.com/p/pysqlite/downloads/list
Run installer, and make sure you select the version of Python that you have. 3) Install Django: svn checkout http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/branches/releases/1.3.X/djangoto your Python site-packages directory: c:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\ Django 1.3 or greater is required. Well tested on Django 1.3. 4) Change to trunk\src\webapp And run the following at the command line (cmd): 5) c:\Python27\python.exe init.py > grampsdb\fixtures\initial_data.json 6) c:\Python27\python.exe manage.py syncdb 7) c:\Python27\python.exe manage.py runserver 8) Point your webbrowser to http://127.0.0.1:8000 === Linux and Mac === Get the latest version of Gramps (currently "master" from Git; see [[Brief introduction to Git]]). Below, it is assumed that you have the following installed: * Latest Gramps4.1 (in examples below, installed in a folder called "trunk")* Django version 1.4 5 or 1.3greater
* Sqlite3
* cd trunk
* python3 setup./autogen.shpy build
you are then ready to make and run Gramps-Connect. These are the basic steps for running in a test development:
# cd trunk/srcgramps/webapp
# make
## this will build all tables, and populate with default information
## this will start-up a testing webserver
# Point your browser to http://localhost:8000/ and begin using Gramps-Connect
== Django ==
=== Django 1.4 ===
tannooba says:
Since I'm using Django 1.4 I had to do the following tweaks:
# in settings.py, change TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS from "django.core.context_processors.auth" to "django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth".
# In settings.py, changed TEMPLATE_LOADERS to say "django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader" instead of ...loaders.filesystem.Load_template_source.
=== Django 1.6 ===
* [http://sourceforge.net/p/gramps/source/merge-requests/12/ Git Merge Request #12: Gramps-connect: Django compatibility fixes (open)], ''This ought to make Gramps-connect compatible with Django 1.3 on up to Django 1.6.'' - Paul Kilgo 2014-06-16 ( [http://sourceforge.net/u/oneeyedparrot/gramps/ci/c6b0e5713bc5f0e5e84c62840efc00c3e7545f24/log/?path= Patches] )
= Options =
* You can change the CSS theme in Admin -> Profile -> User. Give the name of the CSS file per user.
* You can change the name of the site in Admin -> Config -> sitename.
== Temporary ==
Now that Gramps trunk has moved to Gtk GObject, Gramps depends on it. For older installs which don't have it, you might not be able to produce certain graphics, or output.
For the moment, I am using the branches/gramps35 repository (which I will mirror the non-gtk changes with trunk).
= Bugs =
Please list any item that is not listed yet:
# {{bug|7005}} unable to import GRAMPS example DBs# Not all places items are private and living data protected. Need a security audit.# No on-line viewing of media yet
# Many of the secondary level of information (LDS, Location, etc) are accessible for viewing or edit
# Tags are not imported nor exported
# Privacy: "[Living]" is used, but names still appear in alphabetical order
#: Related to patronymic privacy bug {{bug|4538}}? No, this is a different, gramps-connect specific issue. But the issue from #4538 is also a problem in Gramps-Connect, and will have to be solved a different way.

Additions to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, for example:
The Gramps-Connect source is defined to match sqlite3 and the above settings. If you would like to change any of this, you'll probably also have to change [http://gramps.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gramps/trunk/src/webapp/settings.py?view=markup trunk/src/webapp/settings.py].
