kääntää Deployed!

Edit: And of course, the obligatory Project Page entry here: http://www.pioverpi.net/projects/csc309-a3-kaantaa-translations/

Now that I’m done with exams I can start blogging and coding for fun again.  Freedom!

My first item on the tasklist was to deploy my CSC309 Django app (aka kääntää) on Bluehost.  Google again was my friend, and I found a few resources here (outdated but good), here (official Bluehost knowledgebase), and here (good for mysql settings plus some other odds and ends).  Oh, and of course, Derek’s deployment tips helped along the way as well.  The process itself is a bit complicated, so I won’t post the details right now.

Anyways, you can checkout the actual app on the kaantaa subdomain here: kaantaa.pioverpi.net

The basic functionality is as follows:

• if you are not registered and logged in, you can view translations and translation details by clicking on words
• if you are registered, you can:
  • double click on words to edit them
  • add new translation words
  • change a translation’s rating when you view translation details (i.e. in the popup when you click on a word)

Please be gentle with it, the app doesn’t have a delete word feature, and I don’t want to have to always watch the page for dirty words.

Anyways, with that said, I’d love for you guys to take a look and give me some feedback!
