Development Notes
LDAP population
To populate the database with an existing LDAP user, run django_auth_ldap.backend.LDAPBackend.populate_user(). See django-auth-ldap docs for details.
Python shell
Access with python manage.py shell --settings=config.settings.production.
Search Index
After objects have been created through a script, manage.py update_index sould be run. See Wagtail docs.
Translation
In urls.py, i18n_patterns() can be passed prefix_default_language=False. This disables the language url prefix for the default language, but results in breaking Django's set_language view (used by language selection dropdown), as it is not able to get the current url without language prefix. This could be solved by passing the redirect location as POST parameter next, and would require to write a hacky solution to remove the language prefix, if it exists.
Individual StreamField blocks are not translateable yet, see this issue.
Empty fields (excluding StreamFields) are automatically populated with the the default langugage content due to this issue.
Updating translations
Run python manage.py makemessages --ignore=users to generate an updated .po file in locale/de/LC_MESSAGES. After editing the file, run python manage.py compilemessages to compile the new translations. See Django docs for details.
Imports
Django lets you import <app_label>, which will result in errors later. Only import mpicms.<app_label>, as specified in the app configs.
