PAGETHE BUILDING BLOCK OF THE CMS
PLACEHOLDERACTIVE AREAS WITHIN YOUR PAGES
PLUGIN CONTAINERS
DEFINED IN THE TEMPLATES
JUST A TEMPLATETAG
PLACEHOLDER
HOW TO DEFINE APLACEHOLDER?
{% placeholder "first_placeholder" %}
PLACEHOLDER
THERE IS MOREclass MyModel(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=200) abstract = models.TextField() content = PlaceholderField()
Composition, not inheritance
PLUGINPlaceholder = Container
Plugin = Content
PLUGIN
WHAT'S A PLUGIN?A content
A bridge towards other Django applications
PLUGIN
WRITING PLUGIN IS EASYclass MyPlugin(CMSPluginBase): name = _('My plugin') render_template = 'myapp/myplugin.html'
PLUGIN
1. PLUGIN CLASSclass 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 MODELIt's the plugin configuration
class MyPluginModel(CMSPlugin): title = models.CharField(max_length=200) posts = models.PositiveIntegerField()
PLUGIN
3. THE TEMPLATETemplate 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>
APPHOOKIs 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 CODEclass MyApp(CMSApp): name = _("My App") urls = ["apps.my_app.urls"] menus = [MyMenu]
apphook_pool.register(MyApp)
APPHOOK
THAT'S ALL :)
FRONTEND EDITORWARNING!

{% render_model instance "abstract" %}
{% render_model_block instance %}<h3>{{ instance.title }}</h3><div class="date">{{ instance.date }}</{% endrender_model_block %}
SHAMELESS PLUG!
