français: Lisez-moi

This project is at its debut stage. However it is already possible to:

• look up for books, either by keywords or by isbn/ean (which works with a barcode scanner). See the https://gitlab.com/vindarel/bookshops library. You can currently search for:
  • french books (through librairiedeparis, decitre.fr or chapitre.com)
  • spanish books (through casadellibro.com)
  • german books(through buch-wagner.de)
  • you want another one ? The sooner you tell us, the quicker you'll have it ;)
• look up for CDs (via discogs.com)
• do an inventories of your stock,
• manage lists of books, export them to csv and pdf (with barcodes),
• send an email to distributors to order books,
• manage deposits and distributors, see the balance of your deposits,
• sell books, see conflicts of distributors, see the history,
• import data from a LibreOffice Calc file (.ods) (experimental, cli only. See the user documentation).

It is translated to english, french and spanish.

We base our work on the software specifications from the Ruche project (to which we particpated): http:https://ruche.eu.org/wiki/Specifications_fonctionnelles. We wrote there what we understood about the work of a bookseller (like how to manage different distributors, how to manage deposits, etc). You should read it and tell us wether or not what we are doing will suit your needs (I'll translate this document to english one day or another, but you should tell me now if you're interested).

Abelujo means Beehive in Esperanto.

Feedback welcomed at ehvince at mailz dot org.

Get the sources:

git clone --recursive https://gitlab.com/vindarel/abelujo.git

it creates the directory "abelujo":

cd abelujo

Install the required dependencies for Debian (Ubuntu/LinuxMint/etc):

make debian
# a shortcut for
# sudo apt-get install python-pip nodejs nodejs-legacy npm
# sudo pip install --upgrade pip
# sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper
# sudo npm install gulp -g  # a JS build system.
# Debian users have to install nodejs-legacy if the node command doesn't give you a javascript shell.
# Debian wheezy 7.8: install npm with
# curl https://www.npmjs.com/install.sh | sudo sh

Create and activate a virtual environment (so than we can install python libraries locally, not globally to your system). Do as you are used to, or do the following:

source venv_create.sh

now your shell prompt should show you are in the abelujo virtualenv. To quit the virutal env, type deactivate. To enter it, type workon \<TAB\> abelujo.

To install the dependencies, create and populate the database, run:

make install

We are done ! Now to try Abelujo, run the development server like this:

make run
# or set the port with:
# python manage.py runserver 9876

and open your browser to http:https://127.0.0.1:8000.

Enjoy ! Don't forget to give feedback at ehvince at mailz dot org !

To update, you need to: pull the sources (git pull --rebase), install new packages (system and python-wide), run the database migrations, build the static assets and, in production, collect the static files.

In the virtual env, run:

make update

Django project (1.8), in python (2.7), with AngularJS (1.3)

We use:

• the AngularJS javascript framework with LiveScript
• jade templates, which compile to html, and pyjade for the Django integration
• Bootstrap's CSS and django-bootstrap3

See the developer documentation: http:https://dev.abelujo.cc/

Note::

As a complement to the installion procedure above, you also need to install development dependencies that are listed in another requirements file::

make pip-dev

We get the data about books with some webscraping (discogs provides an api).

You can have a look at the existing scrapers at search/datasources. Some abstraction work remains to be done. To implement your own, see the base class at datasources/utils/baseScraper.py. It's actually very simple, you just need to find a couple of xpath selectors.

It is possible to load a set of testing data::

make data
# a shortcut for
# ./manage.py loaddata dumpdata.json

this will load aprroximately 400 Cards, Authors, Publishers and Baskets. There are already a default Place and Distributor.

If you get:

OperationalError: no such column: search_card.card_type_id

it is probably because you pulled the sources and didn't update your DB. Use database migrations (make migrate).

We have developer documentation: http:https://dev.abelujo.cc/
