getting snapboard integrated into my project

[johnnie...@gmail.com]

I thought I'd start a thread talking about getting snapboard working
with my project. I'll outline the steps I took and add some
commentary along the way.

1. Moved the snapboard app directory into my projects directory.

I won't be using sbreg initially, as I hit upon the same blog post
it's based off of and I have my own version of a registration module.
After looking at sbreg, there's little difference right now between
the two.

2. Added the following to my project urls.py:

# forums
(r'^forum/', include('webapps.snapboard.urls')),
(r'^forums/', include('webapps.snapboard.urls')),

Catching both urls makes sense based upon previous experience running
forums. People always muddle up the url and either add or remove the
s.

3. Added snapboard to installed apps.

4. Sync'd up the db.

There's a bug when you sync up and you answer no to populating the
test data into the db. I'll file a bug in a few with a patch.

5. Run a local server via manage.py runserver.

Logged in, hit the forum link and it worked like a charm.

All in all, good experience with getting the app integrated into my
site. Next steps will be to get the media files installed into my
environment so that it looks pretty. I'll let you know how that goes.

Great! Do you want to start a wiki page on the project site detailing
how to integrate snapboard with an existing django setup?

I'd be happy to. Go ahead and add me to the project so I can do that.
