Project settings

The settings.py file holds the configuration settings for the Django application, and only needs to be configured at the start of the project.

While the django-admin will create the basic template of the file, there are a few things that need to be updated accordingly:

1. Allowed Hosts

   ALLOWED_HOSTS: A list of strings representing the host/domain names for the Django app.

   Note: This is empty in the template, and needs to include the Elastic Beanstalk domain and the preferred domain name.

   ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['isoforms.com','www.isoforms.com','127.0.0.1','isoVis-deploy-env.eba-r7r9zsja.eu-north-1.elasticbeanstalk.com']
   

2. Apps

   INSTALLED_APPS: A list of the sub-applications created (i.e expression here), and third-party apps

   Note: expression.apps.expressionConfig: needs to be an app.py in the expression folder.

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
   	#### In template
       'django.contrib.admin',  
       # Built-in admin interface
       'django.contrib.auth',         					
       # Authentication framework
       'django.contrib.contenttypes', 					
       # Content type framework
       'django.contrib.sessions',      				
       # Session framework
       'django.contrib.messages',     					
       # Messaging framework
       'django.contrib.staticfiles',   				
       # Static file handling
   
       ### Added by user
       # Your custom app
       'expression.apps.expressionConfig',     
       # Third-party app for REST APIs        
       'import_export',       					
   ]
   

3. Language and Time Zone

   Update this to the language and time zone as appropriate.

   LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en-gb'
   TIME_ZONE = 'Europe/London'
