Python3 / Django 2 upgrade?
Hi, According to a previous post, Booktype is no longer developed. It's still moving a bit (some commits in the github page), but nothing to let us think the team or someone else is working on a Python 3/ Django 2 port. And as you wrote, we hav…

Booktype 2.x
Hi Vishal, I confirm Booktype 2 no longer works with the list-books.json file, but uses a rest API to access book content (and more). There's an old discussion about it in this forum: https://forum.sourcefabric.org/discussion/18746/list-books-j…

book export isn't working
Got it! In the _site/celery.py file, the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE setting is set to dev, whatever we have in the Django base settings file. Changing the value to point to the prod environment and restarting Apache and Supervisor fixed the issue.So it …

book export isn't working
I'm afraid I'm also running into the same issue. Our test server works as expected (dev settings), but when we try to export from our production server (with prod settings), the logs show exactly the same configuration errors. As if the pr…

Booktype 1.6.1 to 2.x upgrade
Checking the database shows that it is missing some tables (including core_permission). So updating permissions on a table that doesn't exist is a bit difficult. I guess the migration didn't work as expected. Note that I first installed th…

Also replaced the DB Engine in the configuration file by django.db.backend.postgresql (no more psycopg2).

Booktype 1.6.1 to 2.x upgrade
I managed to run the first step by using the following command before (column removed in Django 1.8): ALTER TABLE django_content_type DROP COLUMN name So now ./manage.py migrate --fake-initial doesn't return any error, but the following step, .…

Booktype 1.6.1 to 2.x upgrade
I'm currently testing Booktype1.6 to 2.x migration, and it's not straightforward at all. The aforementioned document seems good, but I also have to deal with Django versions because BT16 required Django 1.3, and I have installed BT2x with …

list-books.json with Booktype 2.x
It's fixed! In case someone else has the same problem, the Apache WSGI module had to be properly configured to accept authentication (see http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/authentication/#apache-mod_wsgi-specific-configuration). Fo…

list-books.json with Booktype 2.x
Not better with the production profile. Since there's no big difference with the dev profile, it's not a surprise.I've also tried to create a different user with specific rights, but it's still failing. I can get the token, but c…

list-books.json with Booktype 2.x
No progress so far. I'm going to switch to a production profile in case there's something blocking in the dev one.

list-books.json with Booktype 2.x
and relying on the api backend fails with the following message: {"non_field_errors":["Unable to log in with provided credentials."]}.

list-books.json with Booktype 2.x
Also note that if I remove 'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend' I can't login a all (or retrieve a token) even from the web application.

list-books.json with Booktype 2.x
Thanks for your help. I didn't change the content of the server's settings, and thus didn't use the booktype api backend to authenticate. But unfortunately, it still doesn't work. In my settings/base.py, I now have: MIDDLEWARE_C…

list-books.json with Booktype 2.x
I tested all the options provided in the Django Rest Framework documentation, and unfortunately it still doesn't work with coreapi (and the coreapi CLI). Not being able to access the API from a python script is a blocker for us, so some help wo…

list-books.json with Booktype 2.x
I just found out the Booktype API is based on Django Rest Framework, so it should be relatively easy to access it using API clients such as coreapi (see http://www.django-rest-framework.org/topics/api-clients/).

list-books.json with Booktype 2.x
I'm experimenting the new API with curl. Thanks to the API documentation I managed to retrieve an authentification token, but I can't find a way to pass that token to the following request (e.g. _api/v1/books/). I tried to use it in the he…

Booktype detailed documentation
Yes, that's the docsI found, but it doesn't fit my needs unfortunately. Maybe the dev team still has some internal work drawings or draft that could help ;) Thanks for your help!--Nicolas

Booktype 1.6.1 to 2.x upgrade
Thanks Daniel! > I would recommend that you keep a backup of your Booktype 1.6.x system and maybe clone it to a test system before upgrading your production system. That's my plan. I'll let you know about how it works (or doesn'…

Book export not working
Hi, I just ran into the same kind of issue, and fixed it by changing the following setting (in settings/base.py): EXPORT_ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['127.0.0.1', "*"] Maybe it's not exactly the same case, but it's probably worth a…
