Hi Magan,
Indeed there is no documentation on the topic. I've added a ticket to
remedy that (https://github.com/mayan-edms/mayan-edms/issues/175). In the
mean this is the rough idea:
This is for Mayan 1.1, for Mayan 2.0 some the steps have already changed.
1. Create a directory inside mayan/apps for your new app.
2. Create an empty __init__.py and a models.py file with the line:
from django.db import models
this is so Django recognizes this directory as a valid Django app.
3. Tie your code to the post_version_upload signal by adding this to the
models.py file of your app, this signal fires when a document received a
new version or a new document is uploaded:
from django.dispatch import receiver
from documents.signals import post_version_upload
from documents.models import DocumentVersion
@receiver(post_version_upload, dispatch_uid=my_new_doc_handler', sender
=DocumentVersion)
def my_new_doc_handler(sender, instance, **kwargs):
print 'new document version', instance
print 'new document', instance.document
4. To register a view, create a normal views.py, urls.py. Then create a
file named links.py and add a dictionary for every link you want to add:
link_my_app_link = {'text': _('Document summary'), 'view': 'myapp:my_view'}
5. In you __init__.py file add:
from navigation.api import register_top_menu
from .links import link_my_app_link
register_top_menu(name='my_app', link=link_my_app_link)
6. Add you app to INSTALLED_APPS in mayan/settings/base.py and your app's
urls.py file to mayan/urls.py
That should be it.
Let us know how it goes. It would also be great if your could document the
process in the ticket (https://github.com/mayan-edms/mayan-edms/issues/175),
that would make creating the documentation topic file much easier. Thanks!
