Used modified versions of django-registration and django-profiles , both on bitbucket.
The Person model is now set up as the profile for auth.User s.
I set up a requestcontext so that settings is automatically passed to every template, no need to repeat ourselves in views. However, this needs to be refined: I will soon change it to only pass a subset of settings. E.G. we do not need to be passing the DB login and password!
Logbook parser now looks for mugshots when adding people. If it finds an image, it adds a new photo model instance linked to that person. If it finds an html page, it adds the body text of that page as the person's "blurb" and then adds the mugshot.
My interface web design isn't working, sorry. Need a blank slate on that one.
Photo model added.
Logbook parser now puts mugshots in as photo models, and descriptions from the old folk html pages in as "blurbs" on the person model.
Experimented with eye candy and a random logbook quote generator.
