Configuring Document Store Backend

Set the following in your settings file:

DOCKIT_BACKENDS = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'dockit.backends.djangodocument.backend.ModelDocumentStorage',
    }
}
DOCKIT_INDEX_BACKENDS = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'dockit.backends.djangodocument.backend.ModelIndexStorage',
    },
}

#Uncomment to use django-ztask for indexing
#DOCKIT_INDEX_BACKENDS['default']['INDEX_TASKS'] = 'dockit.backends.djangodocument.tasks.ZTaskIndexTasks'

#Uncomment to use django-celery for indexing
#DOCKIT_INDEX_BACKENDS['default']['INDEX_TASKS'] = 'dockit.backends.djangodocument.tasks.CeleryIndexTasks'

Then add 'dockit.backends.djangodocument' to INSTALLED_APPS
