About

Ona is derived from the excellent formhub platform developed by the Sustainable Engineering Lab at Columbia University.

Installation

See the installation documentation.

Docker

Install Docker and Docker Compose.

docker-compose up

# create super user
# -----------------
docker exec -it onadata_web_1 bash

# activate virtual envirenment

On registration check the console for the activation links, the default email backend is django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend. See Django Docs for details.

Contributing

If you would like to contribute code please read Contributing Code to Ona Data.

Edit top level requirements in the file requirements/base.in. Use

pip-compile to update requirements/base.pip. You will need to update requirements.pip and set lxml==3.6.0, for some unknown reason pip-compile seems to pick a lower version of lxml when openpyxl requires lxml>=3.3.4.

pip-compile --output-file requirements/base.pip requirements/base.in

Code Structure

• api - This app provides the API functionality mostly made up of viewsets
• logger - This app serves XForms to and receives submissions from ODK Collect and Enketo.
• viewer - This app provides a csv and xls export of the data stored in logger. This app uses a data dictionary as produced by pyxform. It also provides a map and single survey view.
• main - This app is the glue that brings logger and viewer together.

Localization

To generate a locale from scratch (ex. Spanish)

django-admin.py makemessages -l es -e py,html,email,txt ;
for app in {main,viewer} ; do cd onadata/apps/${app} && django-admin.py makemessages -d djangojs -l es && cd - ; done

To update PO files

django-admin.py makemessages -a ;
for app in {main,viewer} ; do cd onadata/apps/${app} && django-admin.py makemessages -d djangojs -a && cd - ; done

To compile MO files and update live translations

django-admin.py compilemessages ;
for app in {main,viewer} ; do cd onadata/apps/${app} && django-admin.py compilemessages && cd - ; done

Api Documentation

Generate the API documentation and serve via Django using:

cd docs
make html
python manage.py collectstatic

Generate sphinx docs for new code using autodoc.

Run sphinx in autobuild mode using:

sphinx-autobuild docs docs/_build/html

Requires sphinx-autobuild, install with pip install sphinx-autobuild.

Django Debug Toolbar

• $ pip install django-debug-toolbar
• Use/see onadata/settings/debug_toolbar_settings/py
• Access api endpoint on the browser and use .debug as the format extension e.g /api/v1/projects.debug

Upgrading existing installation to django 1.9+

Requirements

• Postgres 9.4 or higher
• xcode-select version 2343 or higher

Upgrading from a pervious Ona setup Ensure you upgrade all your pip requirements using the following command:

pip install -r requirements/base.pip

Fake initial migration of guardian, django_digest, registration. Migrate contenttypes app first.

python manage.py migrate contenttypes
python manage.py migrate --fake-initial django_digest
python manage.py migrate --fake-initial guardian
python manage.py migrate --fake-initial registration
python manage.py migrate
