Settings

You can configure some of the application behaviour with the WGER_SETTINGS dictionary in your settings file. Currently, the following options are supported:

ALLOW_GUEST_USERS: Default True.

Controls whether users can use the site as a guest user or if an administrator has to create the user accounts, as with the option above.

ALLOW_REGISTRATION: Default True.

Controls whether users can register on their own or if a gym administrator has to create the user accounts.

DOWNLOAD_INGREDIENTS_FROM: Default WGER

Where to download ingredient images from. Possible values are ‘WGER’ and ‘OFF’. It is recommended to leave the default of WGER as to now hit the Open Food Facts with too many requests

EMAIL_FROM: Default wger Workout Manager <wger@example.com>

The sender address used for sent emails by the system such as weight reminders

EXERCISE_CACHE_TTL: Default 3600

Sets how long the overview responses for exercise, exerciseinfo and exercisebaseinfo are cached for. The value is in seconds, so 3600 is one hour.

MIN_ACCOUNT_AGE_TO_TRUST: Default 21

Users won’t be able to contribute to exercises if their account age is lower than this amount in days.

SYNC_EXERCISES_CELERY: Default False

Whether to periodically synchronize the exercise database from the default wger instance. Needs celery to be configured.

SYNC_EXERCISE_IMAGES_CELERY: Default False

Whether to periodically synchronize the exercise images from the default wger instance. Needs celery to be configured.

SYNC_EXERCISE_VIDEOS_CELERY: Default False

Whether to periodically synchronize the exercise videos from the default wger instance. Needs celery to be configured.

USE_CELERY: Default False.

Whether celery is configured and can be used

USE_RECAPTCHA: Default False.

Controls whether a captcha challenge will be presented when new users register.

WGER_INSTANCE: Default https://wger.de.

The wger instance from which commands like exercise synchronization will use to fetch data from.

Note

If you want to override a default setting, don’t overwrite all the dictionary but only the keys you need, e.g. WGER_SETTINGS['foo'] = 'bar'. This avoids problems when new keys are added in the global settings.

Set the URL for your site in the table django_site. This is only used e.g. in the password reset emails.
