Google App Engine CMS系统的搭建

简介

圣诞假期期间试着使用Google App Engine搭建了一个CMS系统，挺简单的，而且稳定和免费。把搭建过程Blog下来。

 

软件下载

下载Python

下载ActivePython 2.5.4.4并安装。

http://www.activestate.com/activepython/downloads/

 

下载Google App Engine SDK

下载Google App Engine SDK for Python，我使用Python而不是Java。

http://code.google.com/appengine/downloads.html

 

下载App Engine Site Creator

我使用开源软件App Engine Site Creator，下载并解压到本地目录

http://code.google.com/p/app-engine-site-creator/wiki/TechnicalOverview

 

定制

修改configuration.py

configuration.py用于定制App Engine Site Creator系统的，代码如下：

#!/usr/bin/python2.5

"""System-wide configuration variables."""

import datetime



# This HTML block will be printed in the footer of every page.

FOOTER_HTML = (
'Copyright @ Lin Software 2009 | '

'Designed By Jake Lin'

'<img src="http://code.google.com/appengine/images/appengine-noborder-120x30.gif"'

'alt="Powered by Google App Engine" />'
)



# File caching controls

FILE_CACHE_CONTROL = 'private, max-age=86400'
FILE_CACHE_TIME = datetime.timedelta(days=1)



# Title for the website

SYSTEM_TITLE = 'Lin Software'

# Description for the website

SYSTEM_DESCRIPTION = 'Welcome to Lin Software site'

# Unique identifier from Google Analytics (ie. UA-xxxxxxx-x)

ANALYTICS_ID = 'UA-xxx'

# Name of theme for your site, must be located in

# 'templates/themes/{FOLDER NAME}' where your customized

# base and page files should be located

SYSTEM_THEME_NAME = 'nautica05'

 

 

FOOTER_HTML是所有页面的页脚。如下图

还需要定义SYSTEM_TITLE和SYSTEM_DESCRIPTION。 ANALYTICS_ID用于Google Analytics，不是必须的。

 

修改app.yaml

app.yaml定义Google App Engine的应用的信息。

application: linsoftwaresite

version: 2

runtime: python

api_version: 1


default_expiration: "1d"

handlers:

- url: /favicon.ico

static_files: static/images/favicon.ico

upload: static/images/favicon.ico


- url: /static/images/fileicons/.*

script: zip_handler.py


- url: /fckeditor/.*

script: zip_handler.py


- url: /static
static_dir: static

- url: /admin/.*

script: main.py

login: required


- url: /.*

script: main.py




skip_files: |

^(.*/)?(

(app\.yaml)|

(app\.yml)|

(index\.yaml)|

(index\.yml)|

(#.*#)|

(.*~)|

(.*\.py[co])|

(.*/RCS/.*)|

(\..*)|

(dev/.*)|

(tests/.*)|

(docs/.*)|

)$

我的应用的ID是linsoftwaresite。所以把application修改为linsoftwaresite。

 

测试

使用Google App Engine Launcher测试定制的CMS。增加一个新应用，指向App Engine Site Creator解压的本地目录。

点击Browse可以测试。

 

部署

使用Google App Engine Launcher可以把应用不是到Google App Engine上。

配置应用属性

首先需要配置应用的属性，Deployment Server 需要填写 appengine.google.com开始我填错了，填了自己应用的网址，一直没有成功。

上传

点击"Deploy”，填写Email和密码上传应用。

 

预览

可以通过www.linsoftware.com来访问，但是可能国内给河蟹了，所以请使用linsoftwaresite.appspot.com来预览。

关于Google App Engine的开发可以参考一下下面的链接，不错的教材。
