We need a Makefile to help users to spin up our projects about wagtail-cookiecutter-foundation

[Parbhat]

@chrisdev make test can also be included in the list

[chrisdev]

Correct!!
If you think we need to add any more stuff?

[Parbhat]

@chrisdev working on makefile will be adding things as encountered

[chrisdev]

@Parbhat The make file should also cover the static sites
Here are the manual instructions

Generating a static site

For this project we will generate a static site using django medusa_ and the
wagtail.contrib.wagtailmedusa.

Note the official django medusa_ repo is broken_ so we have to use this fork_
which is specified in the requirements file.

.. _django medusa: https://github.com/mtigas/django-medusa
.. _this fork: https://github.com/ctxis/django-medusa
.. _broken: wagtail/wagtail#1183

Installing django-medusa

First, install django medusa from pip:

.. code::

    pip install django-medusa


Then add ``django_medusa`` and ``wagtail.contrib.wagtailmedusa`` to ``INSTALLED_APPS``:

.. code:: python

    INSTALLED_APPS = [
       ...
       'django_medusa',
       'wagtail.contrib.wagtailmedusa',
    ]

Add the following to the settings file

.. code:: python

    MEDUSA_RENDERER_CLASS = "django_medusa.renderers.DiskStaticSiteRenderer"
    MEDUSA_MULTITHREAD = True
    MEDUSA_DEPLOY_DIR = 'wesleyan_static_site'



Rendering

Start by loading the initial data for the site

.. code:: bash

./manage.py loaddata core/fixtures/core_data.json

Make your changes using the admin as with a normal site. You may want to store
your changes

.. code:: bash

./manage.py loaddata core/fixtures/core_data.json

To render a site, first

.. code:: bash

./manage.py staticsitegen 

This will render the the html for the entire website and place the HTML in
a folder called wesleayn_static_site. Next run

.. code:: bash

./manage.py collectstatic

This will bundle all the static files used by your app into the static folder
at the root of the project.

Finally, copy the static and media folders to wesleyan_static_site.

To test.

.. code:: bash

cd wesleyan_static_site
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
