PYCON UK 2014 FIRST STEPS WITH DJANGO CMS by Iacopo
Spalletti @yakkys
WHO AM I? Founder and Lead developer @NephilaIt django CMS
core developer django CMS installer author
DJANGO CMS FIRST LOOK BRIEF OVERVIEW OF DJANGO CMS FEATURES
FEEL FREE TO COME TO THE BOOTH OR AT THE SPRINTS FOR MORE
WHAT'S DJANGO CMS? 'JUST' A CMS FOR DJANGO (APPARENTLY) With
a twist!
DJANGO CMS HOW IS DIFFERENT? IT'S LIMITED (BY DESIGN) YOU
CANNOT "EXTEND" A PAGE
DJANGO CMS WHY IS THAT? WHY NOT? WE HAVE DJANGO
MODELS! GOOD DJANGO CITIZEN
DJANGO CMS CONTRIBUTING FEATURES django CMS provides features that your
applications can use
BASIC CONCEPTS PAGE PLACEHOLDER PLUGIN APPHOOK FRONTEND EDITOR
LIVES IN A LIVE AND DRAFT VERSION DEFINED BY THE
TEMPLATE APPLIED TO IT PAGE THE BUILDING BLOCK OF THE CMS
PLACEHOLDER ACTIVE AREAS WITHIN YOUR PAGES PLUGIN CONTAINERS DEFINED IN
THE TEMPLATES JUST A TEMPLATETAG
PLACEHOLDER HOW TO DEFINE A PLACEHOLDER? {% placeholder "first_placeholder" %}
PLACEHOLDER THERE IS MORE class MyModel(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=200) abstract
= models.TextField() content = PlaceholderField() Composition, not inheritance
PLUGIN Placeholder = Container Plugin = Content
PLUGIN WHAT'S A PLUGIN? A content A bridge towards other
Django applications
PLUGIN WRITING PLUGIN IS EASY class MyPlugin(CMSPluginBase): name = _('My
plugin') render_template = 'myapp/myplugin.html'
PLUGIN 1. PLUGIN CLASS class MyPlugin(CMSPluginBase): name = _('My plugin')
model = MyPluginModel render_template = 'myapp/myplugin.html' def render(self, context, instance, placeholder): newslist = News.objects.all().order_by('-date') context.update({ 'instance': instance, 'news_list': newslist[:instance.posts] }) return context Plugin = ModelAdmin + template + get_context_data
PLUGIN 2. THE PLUGIN MODEL It's the plugin configuration class
MyPluginModel(CMSPlugin): title = models.CharField(max_length=200) posts = models.PositiveIntegerField()
PLUGIN 3. THE TEMPLATE Template is a standard Django template
fragment to which the plugin generated context is provided <div class="news_list"> <h2>{{ instance.title }}</h2> {% for news in news_list %} <a href="{{ news.get_absolute_url }}"> {{ news.title }}</a><br> {% endfor %} </div>
APPHOOK Is a bridge between the CMS and other Django
applications In rough terms, it appends the application URLConf to the page tree
It wraps the URLCon in a class APPHOOK SOME CODE
class MyApp(CMSApp): name = _("My App") urls = ["apps.my_app.urls"] menus = [MyMenu] apphook_pool.register(MyApp)
APPHOOK THAT'S ALL :)
FRONTEND EDITOR WARNING! IT'S ADDICTIVE!
FRONTEND EDITOR WHAT'S IT? NEW IN DJANGO CMS 3 ADMIN
OUTSIDE THE ADMIN
FRONTEND EDITOR FOLLOW THE WHITE PONY
FRONTEND EDITOR TOOLBAR COMPLETE SIMPLE DYNAMIC CUSTOMIZABLE
FRONTEND EDITOR ANCHE NEI VOSTRI MODEL EVERY MODEL CAN BE
FRONTEND-ENABLED {% render_model instance "abstract" %} {% render_model_block instance %} <h3>{{ instance.title }}</h3> <div class="date">{{ instance.date }}</div> {% endrender_model_block %}
SHAMELESS PLUG!
GRAZIE! SEE YOU TOMORROW! DJANGO CMS SPRINT And tips and
