Firefox Input is a Django-based web application to gather user feedback from the Mozilla Firefox beta testing program.
For project goals, specifications, etc., check out the Reporter Wiki Page.
You need Python 2.6. Also, you probably want to run this application in a virtualenv environment.
Run
easy_install pip
followed by
pip install -r requirements/prod.txt -r requirements/compiled.txt
to install the required Python libraries.
For searching, we use Sphinx. Set up an instance of it, and adjust the SPHINX_* settings in settings.py to match your setup. There are three management commands to go with it:
start_sphinxstarts the sphinx daemonstop_sphinxstops itupdate_indexupdates the search index (see below)
Put your database settings in settings_local.py:
from settings import *
# ...
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'mysql',
'NAME': 'firefox_input',
'USER': 'root',
'PASSWORD': '',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '',
'OPTIONS': {'init_command': 'SET storage_engine=InnoDB',
'charset' : 'utf8',
'use_unicode' : True,
},
}
}
To initialize the database, run:
./manage.py syncdb
and to fetch the initial product details data, run:
./manage.py update_product_details
Finally, to initialize the search index, run:
./manage.py update_index
The Internet has plenty of of documentation on setting up a Django application
with any web server. If you need a wsgi entry point, you can find one in
wsgi/reporter.wsgi.
There are two jobs you want to run periodically:
./manage.py update_product_details # Mozilla Product Details update
./manage.py update_index # update and rotate search index
The frequency is up to you, but you probably want to run the search index updates relatively frequently, while the product details can wait a little longer.
We are using the Django Sites Framework to distinguish between the
mobile site and the desktop site. The default is site ID 1 == desktop. If
you create another site using the admin interface, requests for that site's
domain will show the mobile site (set settings.MOBILE_SITE_ID accordingly,
though the default of 2 is probably correct).
For development, you can create an alias of localhost (m.localhost, for
example) in /etc/hosts, and use that as the domain for the second site.
Make sure to include the port (m.localhost:8000).
