django-torque

The torque app

This is the django app that should be deployed in a running django server.

Outside of installing the app, this should remain a black box. The reason being that none of the routes or uses for this should be accessed except through the Torque MediaWiki plugin.

For developers, look in the individual code files for details on the inner workings.

See INSTALL.md for installation instructions.

Django Commands

torque ships commands

remove_unattached

Whenever loading up a new collection, there may be changes to the form of the data as the collection evolves. Because it may be uploaded in mistake, nothing is deleted from the database to ensure that no unintentional data loss occurs. However, admins may want to remove that data to reflect the upgrades in the data.

remove_unattached removes those items. Each field/document that gets uploaded will be marked as attached. If there are edits associated with a field or document, then the --forced argument is required.

run_cache_rebuilder

run_cache_rebuilder starts up the cache rebuilder. This is responsible for all the cache regeneration, and split off to a separate application in order to ensure that it doesn't affect the main process. It IS required to run, though, as it does important database upkeep items as part of it's workflow.

If you want to run it as part of the application instead of separately, add "torque.cache_rebuilder", as an INSTALLED_APP in your settings file, as is exampled in test_settings.py and INSTALL.md

Removing attachment files

As a system runs, old FileField files can hang around on the hard drive. Those are usually uploaded attachments and templates. This can start to take up too much space. To remove, one was is to use https://github.com/akolpakov/django-unused-media:

$ pipenv install django-unused-media

Add 'django_unused_media' to your INSTALLED_APPS and then run:

$ pipenv run python ./manage.py cleanup_unused_media
