ISP database application

The goal of this application is to generate a JSON file describing an ISP, as defined by http://db.ffdn.org/format

Most information about the ISP can be entered through the admin. The number of members and subscribers is computed automatically: you may want to change the way they are computed depending on the way you manage members and subscribers. Additionally, it is possible to change the model so that you manage the number of members and subscribers by hand in the admin, though this is not recommended.

The JSON file is then accessible at /isp.json

How to use

First, add coin.isp_database to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.

Then, add the following in your main urls.py:

from coin.isp_database.views import isp_json

and add

url(r'^isp.json$', isp_json),

in your urlpatterns variable.
