This will eventually be a web tool for planning your church's events and activites.

Rigth now everything is in Swedish so if you're interested in using this project, do contact me and I'll prioritize the translation.

###Installation

Installation should be rather simple, first of you will need a lot of dependencies, all of them can be downloaded with pip:

django django-all-access pytz django-crispy-forms Django-facebook celery django-celery wand pillow mailsnake

Besides that you need libmagickwand-dev, you can try: apt-get install libmagickwand-dev

You also need to download TokenInput: https://github.com/loopj/jquery-tokeninput

Extract src and styles in static/jquery_fields/tokeninput

Also you need to get pdf.js: https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/archive/gh-pages.zip

Extract it in static/pdf.js

Last you need to install RabbitMQ, or some other celery backend if you want tasks like facebook events and mailouts.

To set up the database run:

./manage syncdb

./manage migrate planner

Then you also need to migrate djcelery, django_extensions and allaccess.

###Configuration In churchplanner/suggested_settings.py are the settings you can use as a starting point. The server I run use Nginx/Gunicorn for serving static files and django. I use RabbitMQ as a celery backend. The Google-able guides are much better than anything I can write.

Once you've got everything up and running you need to add provider of Oauth-login. Log inte your sites admin interface and follow the instructions here: http://django-all-access.readthedocs.org/en/v0.5.X/providers.html#facebook-example

Next you need to set up churchplanner to fit your organization and your workflow. Start by adding roles in the django admin. Some suggestions might be "Preacher", "Technician", "Food", "Greeter", "Piano", "Singer". Now you need to create different types of events. In your service you might need a preacher, technician and someone to greet people coming to the service. Lastly you need to add everyone who will have a task to the system. Add them as ordinary django users with first and lastname and email. No password is needed for them. Anyone who should plan must be marked as staff.

###Usage

More info coming

###Contribute

All contributions are greatly appriciated. Have a look at the issues, I always try to have some easier issues marked as bite-size so you have somewhere to start.

If you're developing you can use the suggested settings as they are.

The test coverage is rather bad so if you're fixing a bug please add a test for that bug.

churchplanner's Issues

Can't delete events

Unable to remove events

Add ability to see participations of users.

This is to make sure that no one gets to many commitments or become double-booked.

Participation is attempted to save before event is created.

This is not a problem for the user, but we need to fix this eventually.

Email reminders

This is almost done, we just need to add a job to check which events are due so that we can send out a reminder.

No space in the event type name

Add notifications when participation status changes

Get an email so we dont have to check all events.

Translate to english

This is a bit off, maybe when I have a lot of time.

Fix participation icon in the event form

The icon doesn't change to a checkbox if a user has accepted.

Add a table for all events

Like a spreadsheet.

Menus are behind table.

Need to change Z-value

Add periodic reminders to participations

Add default text for events

Add a model to contain default texts for different events

Improve general usability with generic models.

Right now this software isn't that usable to a church that isn't mine since the models are tailormade for us. I need to figure out a better way to make the models appealing to everyone.

Move facebook page id from models.py to settings.py

Right now the facebook page ID is hardcoded in planner/models.py and it would be better to move it to the settings.

Roles with whitespace doesn't get a tokeninput

Email reminders

This is almost done, we just need a job to send out the reminders in time.

Emails are empty

Duplicate usernames not allowed.

This becomes a problem when we import from MailChimp if two users have the same name.

Clean up dependencies

Right now many dependencies are included into the project. Remove them and include instructions in the README on how to get them and where to put them. Also remove unwanted dependencies and restructure the js folder.

Add a date to signify when an participation mail was sent.

Add selection to the event table

We need to select on date, event types, completion status.

Dynamically mailout to everyone.

To make certain all reminders are sent.

Add frontend stuff for VARDag events.

The models is done, we just need to add support in the frontend.

Only use get events once and then reuse the results.

Now we fetch the list every time someone changes selector.

Publish to facebook

Most of this support is in place, we just need to a job which checks for events to be published, also we need to add support for images.

Export to CVS

To be able to import into excel/numbers.

Facebook icon in event list

Attach a little facebook icon in the list to all event which are scheduled to be published on facebook.
