- ======================
- Playing in the sandbox
- ======================
-
- Oscar ships with a 'sandbox' site, which is a vanilla install of Oscar using the
- default templates and styles. It is useful for exploring Oscar's functionality
- and developing new features.
-
- It only has two customisations on top of Oscar's core:
-
- * Two shipping methods are specified so that the shipping method step of
- checkout is not skipped. If there is only one shipping method (which is true of core
- Oscar) then the shipping method step is skipped as there is no choice to be
- made.
-
- * A profile class is specified which defines a few simple fields. This is to
- demonstrate the account section of Oscar, which introspects the profile class
- to build a combined User and Profile form.
-
- Note that some things are deliberately not implemented within core Oscar as they
- are domain-specific. For instance:
-
- * All tax is set to zero
- * No shipping methods are specified. The default is free shipping.
- * No payment is required to submit an order as part of the checkout process
-
- The sandbox is, in effect, the blank canvas upon which you can build your site.
-
- Browse the external sandbox site
- ================================
-
- An instance of the sandbox site is build hourly from master branch and made
- available at http://latest.oscarcommerce.com
-
- .. warning::
-
- It is possible for users to access the dashboard and edit the site content.
- Hence, the data can get quite messy. It is periodically cleaned up.
-
- .. warning::
-
- Since this site is built from the unstable branch, occasionally things won't
- be fully stable. A more stable 'demo' site is in preparation, which will be
- more suitable for impressing clients/management.
-
- Running the sandbox locally
- ===========================
-
- It's pretty straightforward to get the sandbox site running locally so you can
- play around with the source code.
-
- Install Oscar and its dependencies within a virtualenv::
-
- $ git clone git@github.com:tangentlabs/django-oscar.git
- $ cd django-oscar
- $ mkvirtualenv oscar
- $ make sandbox
- $ sites/sandbox/manage.py runserver
-
- The sandbox site (initialised with a sample set of products) will be available
- at: http://localhost:8000. A sample superuser is installed with credentials::
-
- username: superuser
- email: superuser@example.com
- password: testing
