Update info on django packages and additional details about spirit HOT 2 CLOSED

By the way - is there a reason why you test only with Pillow<2.7 or so? I'm happily using spirit with Pillow 2.8.1 withou problems. I'm also using it with Django 1.8.1 (I used the experimental branch).

Not, really. If tests passes, then it's ok. I will update dependencies before merging that branch into master.

Additionally, no documentation at all can be found about spirit.

That's right, there is none. I thinking in start writting some of it, to show how to install Spirit and how to integrate to existing sites/platforms (ie: mezzanine, etc).

Not even for users of spirit. Some help button on the site would be appreciated. There users could learn about markdown, emoticons, avatars, private topics etc.

As an user, I'd not read it. If something is not immediately obvious then it's an UX issue. There should be links to docs (a popup?) in appropriate places for implicit/hidden features such as emojis and mentions (ie: in the comment box).

For example I wanted to insert google analytics code to _footer.html, but I wasn't able to override the default one from virtualenv...

For that specific case, there is a text box in the admin panel to insert code. The template system is more related to django than to Spirit. I get your point, though.

thank you for this great piece of software! I've just implemented here and wrote a guide.

Awesome 😄

Anyway, I'm writing that it might be helpful to update djangopackages about ability to handle polls and comments in Spirit.

The djangopackages description for comments says "Any Django model instance can have a message thread attached to it.", that's not supported and it won't be since there is no use case for it (that I know of). The polls will be replaced by a better poll system using markdown, I don't like its current incarnation.

You are right - I should have run tests first. Sorry for that.

It's nice to hear about docs and you are right about the second part about user docs too. The popups sounds nice and not disturbing.

And I unfortunately can't find the text box where the code should be inserted.

Didn't know about the details with descriptions.

Ok, thank you for the answers and great work! It's the most beautiful forum I've seen - not those horrible layout with "tables" which came from nineties.
