Local Settings

Local settings should be created to:

• Set your database configuration
• Allow support for multiple-dev environments
• Separate configuration for development/staging/production branches
• Set admin on or off settings to open the admin pages
• Set the path to the custom templates to serve for specific sites

Local Settings Template

The git repository is provided with a template called local_settings.template

Shopzilla Settings

Be sure to look out for the following variables in your local_settings which control the search frequency and authentication keys for shopzilla queries.

• SHOPZILLA_TOKEN = Your api key
• SHOPZILLA_PUB_TOKEN = Your pub token from shopzilla
• SHOPZILLA_SEARCH_FREQUENCY = how often to search in minutes
• SHOPZILLA_OUTPUT_FILE = ‘/home/user/Desktop/jsondumps’

Local Settings Code

You can copy paste this code into your local_settings.py:
