[GeoNode-devel] customizing web pages for GeoNode 2.8

[Toni Schönbuchner]

Hi Michael,

Well than do as I said without using geonode project. Do a backup of geonode index.html and place your own index.html in same folder.
(urls.py is already pointing to index.html)

> I have a production environment already. I don't want to mess around with docker or break my python installation with the creation of a virtualEnv (I don't know anything about python). 
Be careful. The apt setup is currently not maintained and has issues!
GeoNode is a complex system you should at least read the (some) django and installation docs to 
know what is happening. For example virtualEnv is exactly there to not end up in big mess!

> I installed Geonode with apt-get install geonode and I doubt that the setup of a dev environment on the prod server
Nobody suggested it! Of course in a live system you would install as production!

This is why there is Geonode-project. To make customisations without touching the core files.

cheers,
