django-helpdesk was formerly known as Jutda Helpdesk, named after the
company which originally created it. As of January 2011 the name has been
changed to reflect what it really is: a Django-powered ticket tracker with
contributors reaching far beyond Jutda.

Complete documentation is available in the docs/ directory, or online at http://django-helpdesk.readthedocs.org/.

Licensing
---------

See the file 'LICENSE' for licensing terms. Note that django-helpdesk is
distributed with 3rd party products which have their own licenses. See
LICENSE.3RDPARTY for license terms for included packages.

Dependencies (pre-flight checklist)
-----------------------------------

1. Python 2.7 or 3.4+ (3.4+ support is new, please let us know how it goes)
2. Django (1.8+, preferably 1.10)
3. An existing WORKING Django project with database etc. If you
   cannot log into the Admin, you won't get this product working.
4. `pip install django-bootstrap-form` and add `bootstrapform` to `settings.INSTALLED_APPS`
5. `pip install django-markdown-deux` and add `markdown_deux` to `settings.INSTALLED_APPS`
6. `pip install email-reply-parser` to get smart email reply handling
7. Add 'django.contrib.sites' to settings.INSTALLED_APPS, ensure there is at least 1 site created.

**NOTE REGARDING SQLITE AND SEARCHING:**
If you use sqlite as your database, the search function will not work as
effectively as it will with other databases due to its inability to do
case-insensitive searches. It's recommended that you use PostgreSQL or MySQL
if possible. For more information, see this note in the Django documentation:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/databases/#sqlite-string-matching

When you try to do a keyword search using sqlite, a message will be displayed
to alert you to this shortcoming. There is no way around it, sorry.

**NOTE REGARDING MySQL:**
If you use MySQL, with most default configurations you will receive an error
when creating the database tables as we populate a number of default templates
in languages other than English.

You must create the database the holds the django-helpdesk tables using the
UTF-8 collation; see the MySQL manual for more information:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/charset-database.html

If you do NOT do this step, and you only want to use English-language templates,
you can continue however you will receive a warning when running the 'migrate'
commands.

Fresh Django Installations
--------------------------

If you're on a brand new Django installation, make sure you do a ``migrate``
**before** adding ``helpdesk`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS``. This will avoid
errors with trying to create User settings.

Upgrading from previous versions
--------------------------------

If you are upgrading from a previous version of django-helpdesk that used
migrations, get an up to date version of the code base (eg by using
`git pull` or `pip install --upgrade django-helpdesk`) then migrate the database::

    python manage.py migrate helpdesk --db-dry-run # DB untouched
    python manage.py migrate helpdesk

Lastly, restart your web server software (eg Apache) or FastCGI instance, to
ensure the latest changes are in use.

If you are using django-helpdesk pre-migrations (ie pre-2011) then you're
on your own, sorry.

You can continue to the 'Initial Configuration' area, if needed.

Installation
------------

``pip install django-helpdesk``
