satchmo slideshow

[kev]

Hi there

            I have found a slideshow plugin for django (https://github.com/clarle/django-slides) which hasn't been updated for a few years now,

following the instructions i have installed it and it shows up in the admin panel but when i try to add

a slideshow or change a slideshow i get an error thrown at me, shown below

 DatabaseError at /admin/slideshow/slideshow/add/

no such table: slideshow_slide

Request Method:	GET
Request URL:	http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/slideshow/slideshow/add/
Django Version:	1.4.20
Exception Type:	DatabaseError
Exception Value:	no such table: slideshow_slide
Exception Location:	C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\django\db\backends\sqlite3\base.py in execute, line 344
Python Executable:	C:\Python27\python.exe
Python Version:	2.7.9
Python Path:	['C:\\Users\\Administrator\\MyStores\\store', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\satchmo-0.9.3-py2.7.egg', 'C:\\Windows\\SYSTEM32\\python27.zip', 'C:\\Python27\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python27\\lib', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\plat-win', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\Python27', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\win32', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\lib', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\Pythonwin', '..\\..\\apps', '']

i can see it is telling me there is no slideshow tables in the database (i think) but i am a python beginner 

at best and am not sure how to fix it or what i am doing wrong, so could use some help. 

the instructions to install are as follows

## Installation

1. Download and place the 'slideshow' folder somewhere  on your `PYTHONPATH`.

          (i put it in site-packages)

2. Add `slideshow` to your `INSTALLED_APPS` under `settings.py`. 

          (added this to both my store and main satchmo settings just to be sure)

3. To use a slideshow in another Django application, you can refer to the `slideshow` object as `slideshow.Slideshow` in your Django models. 

          (i am not sure about doing this ?)

4. If you're not extending `base.html`, make sure you have jQuery 1.4.2+ and Slides 1.1.7+ in your templates somewhere. Use `{% load slideshow_tags %}` in whatever template you wish to use a slideshow in.  

          (this made no difference)

i would like to see the plugin become part of satchmo (like its toolbar), which i think really needs a slideshow and looking

at the .py files this looks like it would be very simple for someone with a bit more experience than me to achieve, however 

i would be happy to have a go myself if someone could help me through it.

thanks

Hi Kev,

Did you try with:

manage.py syncdb

Looking at the model, it will create 2 tables:

Slide and Slideshow.

Hi there esteban and thanks for you reply

I forgot to respond to my post, i managed to work it out by chance
by looking at some other documents and as i didnt know what exactly for,
i came across manage.py and thought i would give it a go and voila you are correct
it worked perfectly. i actually felt kind of stupid after i had done it !

i guess i am showing the python begginer in me lol
