A content management platform built using the Django framework.
Project description
Overview
--------
Mezzanine is a content management platform built using the `Django`_ framework. It is BSD licenced and designed to provide both a consistant interface for managing content, and a simple archtiecture that makes diving in and hacking on the code as easy as possible.
Its goal is to resemble something like `Wordpress`_, with an intuitive interface for managing pages and blog posts. Mezzanine takes a different approach from a lot of other Django applications in this space like `Pinax`_ or `Mingus`_ that glue together a lot of reusable apps, instead opting to provide most of its functionality included with the project by default.
Dependencies
------------
Apart from `Django`_ itself, Mezzanine has no explicit dependencies but is designed to be used most effectively in conjunction with the following libraries.
* `setuptools`_
* `Python Imaging Library`_ (PIL)
* `django-grappelli`_ <= 2.0
* `django-filebrowser`_
Installation
------------
Assuming you have `setuptools`_ installed, the easiest method is to install directly from Pypi by running the following command, which will also attempt to install the dependencies mentioned above::
$ easy_install -U mezzanine
Otherwise you can download Mezzanine and install it directly from source::
$ python setup.py install
Features
--------
On top of all the usual features provided by Django such as MVC architecture, ORM, templating, caching and the automatic admin interface, Mezzanine provides the following features.
* Hierarchical page navigation
* Save as draft and preview on site
* Drag-n-drop page ordering
* WYSIWYG editing
* SEO friendly URLs and meta data
* Mobile device detection and templates
* Blogging engine
* Tagging
* Built-in threaded comments, or:
* Disqus integration
* Gravatar integration
* Twitter feed integration
* bit.ly integration
* Sharing via Facebook or Twitter
* Custom templates per page or blog post
