Generating a static site
========================
This document describes how to render your Wagtail site into static HTML files on your local file system, Amazon S3 or Google App Engine, using `django medusa`_ and the ``wagtail.contrib.wagtailmedusa`` module.
.. note::
An alternative module based on the `django-bakery`_ package is available as a third-party contribution: https://github.com/mhnbcu/wagtailbakery
Installing ``django-medusa``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First, install ``django-medusa`` from pip:
.. code::
pip install django-medusa
Then add ``django_medusa`` and ``wagtail.contrib.wagtailmedusa`` to ``INSTALLED_APPS``:
.. code:: python
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'django_medusa',
'wagtail.contrib.wagtailmedusa',
]
Define ``MEDUSA_RENDERER_CLASS`` and ``MEDUSA_DEPLOY_DIR`` in settings:
.. code:: python
MEDUSA_RENDERER_CLASS = 'django_medusa.renderers.DiskStaticSiteRenderer'
MEDUSA_DEPLOY_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'build')
Rendering
~~~~~~~~~
To render a site, run ``./manage.py staticsitegen``. This will render the entire website and place the HTML in a folder called ``medusa_output``. The static and media folders need to be copied into this folder manually after the rendering is complete. This feature inherits ``django-medusa``'s ability to render your static site to Amazon S3 or Google App Engine; see the `medusa docs <https://github.com/mtigas/django-medusa/blob/master/README.markdown>`_ for configuration details.
To test, open the ``medusa_output`` folder in a terminal and run ``python -m SimpleHTTPServer``.

GET parameters
--------------
Pages which require GET parameters (e.g. for pagination) don't generate suitable filenames for generated HTML files.
Wagtail provides a mixin (``wagtail.contrib.wagtailroutablepage.models.RoutablePageMixin``) which allows you to embed a Django URL configuration into a page. This allows you to give the subpages a URL like ``/page/1/`` which work well with static site generation.
Example:
.. code:: python
from wagtail.contrib.wagtailroutablepage.models import RoutablePageMixin
class BlogIndex(Page, RoutablePageMixin):
...
subpage_urls = (
url(r'^$', 'serve_page', {'page': 1}),
url(r'^page/(?P<page>\d+)/$', 'serve_page', name='page'),
)
def serve_page(self, request, page=1):
...
Then in the template, you can use the ``{% routablepageurl %}`` tag to link between the pages:
.. code:: html+Django
{% load wagtailroutablepage_tags %}
{% if results.has_previous %}
<a href="{% routablepageurl self 'page' results.previous_page_number %}">Next page</a>
{% else %}
{% if results.has_next %}
<a href="{% routablepageurl self 'page' results.next_page_number %}">Next page</a>
{% else %}
Next, you have to tell the ``wagtailmedusa`` module about your custom routing...
Rendering pages which use custom routing
----------------------------------------
For page types that override the ``route`` method, we need to let ``django-medusa`` know which URLs it responds on. This is done by overriding the ``get_static_site_paths`` method to make it yield one string per URL path.
For example, the BlogIndex above would need to yield one URL for each page of results:
.. code:: python
def get_static_site_paths(self):
# Get page count
page_count = ...
# Yield a path for each page
for page in range(page_count):
yield '/%d/' % (page + 1)
# Yield from superclass
for path in super(BlogIndex, self).get_static_site_paths():
yield path
