Django settings¶
This section describes Lino-specific considerations about certain Django settings.
- AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS¶
See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/settings/#authentication-backends
Unlike with plain Django applications, in Lino you do not need to set
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS
yourself, Lino will do that for you, based the following criteria:social_auth_backends
- DATABASES¶
Lino sets this to SQLite on a file default.db in your
project_dir
.See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/settings/#databases
- FIXTURE_DIRS¶
See Django docs
- LOGGING¶
- LOGGING_CONFIG¶
Lino sets LOGGING_CONFIG
to lino.utils.log.configure()
which is our suggetion for a lightweight flexible
logging configuration method. If you leave LOGGING_CONFIG
unchanged, you can configure your logging preferences using the
LOGGING
setting. Some examples:
LOGGING = dict(filename='/var/log/lino/system.log'), level='DEBUG')
LOGGING = dict(filename=join(SITE.project_dir, 'log', 'system.log'), level='DEBUG')
LOGGING = dict(filename=None, level='DEBUG')
You don't need to use Lino's logging config. In that case, refer to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/ref/settings/#logging-config
- USE_L10N¶
Lino sets this automatically when
lino.core.site.Site.languages
is not None.
See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/settings/#use-l10n
- LANGUAGE_CODE¶
Lino sets this automatically when
lino.core.site.Site.languages
is not None.
See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/settings/#language-code
- MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES¶
Lino still uses MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES instead of
MIDDLEWARE
. One day we will upgrade all Lino middleware to the new middleware style.
- LANGUAGES¶
Lino sets this automatically when your SITE.languages
is not None.
Used by lino.modlib.fields.LanguageField
.
See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/settings/#languages
- ROOT_URLCONF¶
This is set to the value of your Site
's root_urlconf
attribute
(which itself defaults to lino.core.urls
).
See URL dispatcher section of the Django documentation.
- INSTALLED_APPS¶
See Django docs.
In a Lino application you set your INSTALLED_APPS
indirectly by
overriding the get_installed_apps
method. Alternatively, in very small
projects (such as the projects in Tutorials) you might prefer to
specify them as positional arguments to the Site
constructor.
- DEBUG¶
See 2010-07-16
- SERIALIZATION_MODULES¶
See Django docs.
- USE_TZ¶
- TIME_ZONE¶
