Haystack Static Pages is an extension library for Haystack. Currently, it adds the ability to index static pages through the use of a settings.py variable and command extension.

I forked trapeze/haystack-static-pages to make it compatible with Django 1.10 + Haystack 2.5.

1. Setup and install Haystack.

2. Add haystack_static_pages to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py

3. Add HAYSTACK_STATIC_PAGES to your settings.py.

   eg.

   HAYSTACK_STATIC_PAGES = (
       'static-about_us',                        # A named url
       'static-help',                            # Another named url
       'http://www.example.com/some_page.html',  # An fully qualified url
   )
   

4. ./manage.py migrate to create the necessary tables.

5. ./manage.py crawl_static_pages to populate the database with the static page content. This is needed for Haystack to properly map the urls to the content. Output should indicate which pages were crawled and where, as well as the total number of pages found. Crawled pages must be accessible through an http connection. ie., they must be viewable in a browser.

6. ./manage.py rebuild_index to create the search indexes used by Haystack. You should see a note about how many static pages were indexed. The number of static pages indexed should match the number of static pages created in the step above.

This version supports login to scrap pages accesible only for logged in users. Only add:

HAYSTACK_STATIC_LOGIN_AUTH = {

'email': '[email protected]', 'password': '****',

}

There are currently two command line options that can be used with the crawl_static_pages command:
