I Still Got It - Player Showcase Platform

Overview

"I Still Got It" is a Django/PostgreSQL web application designed for young or returning football (soccer), cricket, and rugby players. It allows them to create detailed profiles, upload highlight videos, list performance statistics, and potentially connect with scouts, agents, and teams.

Features

• User Authentication (Sign Up, Log In, Log Out) using Django's built-in system + Custom User Model
• Player Profile Creation & Editing (Bio, Sport, DOB, Location, Avatar)
• Video Uploads & Management (Title, Description, Thumbnail, Comments)
• Statistical Tracking:
  • Physical Stats (Height, Weight, Speed, Agility tests, etc.)
  • Match Recording (Opponent, Competition, Date)
  • Detailed Performance Stats per Match (Goals, Assists, Runs, Wickets, Tries, Tackles, etc.)
• Profile Browsing/Searching (Basic implementation)
• Form Rendering using Crispy Forms with Bootstrap 5 styling
• [Add any other key features, e.g., Video Rating, Player Levels]

Technology Stack

• Backend: Python 3.9+, Django 4.2+
• Database: PostgreSQL
• Frontend: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap 5
• Forms: Django Forms, django-crispy-forms, crispy-bootstrap5
• Environment Variables: python-dotenv
• Deployment (Example): Gunicorn/Nginx (or Heroku, PythonAnywhere, etc.)

Prerequisites

• Python (version 3.9 or as specified in runtime.txt if created)
• PostgreSQL Server (running locally or accessible)
• Git

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/flyn031/istillgotit_project.git
   cd istillgotit_project

2. Create and Activate Virtual Environment:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   # On Windows use: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install Dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Configure Environment Variables:

   • Create a file named .env in the project root directory (istillgotit_project/).
   • Copy the following structure, replacing placeholder values with your actual settings (especially SECRET_KEY and DB_PASSWORD):

     # .env
     SECRET_KEY='your_strong_random_secret_```markdown

• Forms: Django Forms, django-crispy-forms, crispy-bootstrap5
• Environment Variables: python-dotenv
• Deployment (Example): Gunicorn/Nginx (or Heroku, PythonAnywhere, etc.)

Prerequisites

• Python (version specified in runtime.txt or >= 3.9)
• PostgreSQL Server (running locally or accessible)
• Git

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/flyn031/istkey_here' # Replace this!
       DEBUG=True
       ALLOWED_HOSTS=localhost,127.0.0.1
   
       DB_NAME=istillgotit_db
       DB_USER=your_postgres_username # e.g., isgi_illgotit_project.git
   cd istillgotit_project

2. Create and Activate Virtual Environment:

       DB_PASSWORD=your_postgres_password #bash
   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate Replace this!
       DB_HOST=localhost # Or your DB host if different
       DB_PORT=5432      
   # On Windows use: venv\Scripts\activate
   

3. Install Dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Configure Environment Variables:

   • Create a file named .env in the project root directory (istillgotit_project/).
   • Copy the contents of .env.example (if you create one) or add the following structure, replacing placeholder values with your actual settings:

     # .env
     SECRET_KEY='your_strong_random_secret_key_here'
     DEBUG=True
     ALLOWED_HOSTS=localhost,127.0.0.1
     
     DB_NAME=istillgotit_db
     DB_USER=your_postgres_username # e.g., isgi_admin or your OS username
     DB_PASSWORD=your_postgres_password# Or your DB port if different
     
     # Optional: Email settings
     # EMAIL_HOST=...
     # ...

   • Important: Generate a strong SECRET_KEY. Do not use the default insecure key. Change the example DB_PASSWORD.

5. Setup PostgreSQL Database:

   • Ensure your PostgreSQL server is running.
   • Ensure the database user specified in DB_USER exists (e.g., isgi_admin or james.oflynn).
   • Ensure the database specified in DB_NAME exists and is owned by DB_USER. If you needed to reset it earlier, you can use commands like these (run as a PostgreSQL superuser like james.oflynn):

     DB_HOST=localhost # Or your DB host if different
     DB_PORT=5432bash
     # Example commands if needed:
     psql -U your_superuser -h localhost -d postgres -c "DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS istillgotit_db;"
     psql -U your_superuser -h localhost -d postgres -c "CREATE DATABASE istillgotit_db OWNER your_db_user;"
     # Replace your_superuser (e.g., james.ofly      # Or your DB port if different
     
     # Optional: Email settings
     # EMAIL_HOST=...
     # ...
     

   • Important: Generate a strong SECRET_KEY. Do not use the default insecure key. Change the example database password.

6. Setup PostgreSQL Database:

   • Ensure your PostgreSQL server is running.
   • Create the database user specified in DB_USER if it doesn't exist.
   • Create the database specified in DB_NAME. The user DB_USER needs to be the owner or have sufficient privileges. Example using psql (run as a PostgreSQL superuser like postgres or your OS username):

     # Connect as superuser first if needed
     psql -U your_superuser -h localhost -d postgres
     
     # Inside psql or as separate commands:
     CREATE DATABASE istillgotit_db OWNER your_db_user;
     # Ifnn) and your_db_user (e.g., isgi_admin)
      user doesn't exist: CREATE USER your_db_user WITH PASSWORD 'your_postgres_password';
     # If user needs privileges:```
     

7. Apply Database Migrations:

   python manage.py migrate

8. Create Superuser (Admin):

       bash
   python manage.py createsuperuser
   

9. Apply Database Migrations:

   (Follow prompts for username, email, password)
