Social Secretary is a notification system that helps you manage your social network.

Users connect via Facebook and categorize / sort their friends. Social Secretary then sends the users reminders via email when they are starting to mis-manage their personal and business contacts (i.e. falling out of touch with a contact, forgetting to reply, etc).

1. Install Python 2.x, MySQL 5.x, Python virtualenv and Python virtualenvwrapper

2. Make sure that MySQL is correctly configured, and restart your DB server if necessary:

   mysql> SET storage_engine=INNODB;
   

3. Clone this repo and cd to the package root directory.

4. Set up your virtual environment:

   $ mkvirtualenv --distribute social_secretary
   $ workon social_secretary
   

5. Install the required Python dependencies:

   $ pip install -r requirements.txt
   

6. Make sure that your settings file is properly configured:

   Create a secret_settings file for your db passwords:

   $ vim social_secretary/secret_settings.py
   

   In social_secretary/secret_settings.py:

   DEFAULT_DATABASE_PASSWORD = 'my_dev_db_password'
   TEST_DATABASE_PASSWORD = 'my_test_db_password'

7. Create your databases, users and passwords:

   mysql> CREATE DATABASE social_secretary;
   mysql> CREATE DATABASE social_secretary_test;
   mysql> GRANT ALL ON social_secretary.* TO 'social_secretary'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'my_dev_db_password';
   mysql> GRANT ALL ON social_secretary_test.* TO 'social_secretary'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'my_dev_db_password';
   

8. Run syncdb:

   $ ./manage.py syncdb
   

9. Start your server:

   $ ./manage.py runserver
   
   

Tests use the nose test runner. From the project root, simply run:

$ nosetests
