.. image:: https://travis-ci.org/benzkji/django-ckeditor-link.svg
:target: https://travis-ci.org/benzkji/django-ckeditor-link

link plugin for ckeditor, based on django modelforms/modeladmin, allowing direct linking to your models, or to whatever your want.


Installation
------------

To get the latest stable release from PyPi

.. code-block:: bash

pip install django-ckeditor-link

Add ``ckeditor_link`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS``

.. code-block:: python

INSTALLED_APPS = (
...,
'ckeditor_link',
)

ckeditor_link does not need it's own database tables, so no need to migrate.


Usage
------------

Have a look at ``ckeditor_link/tests/test_app/settings_test.py`` for a complete example.

Following steps are needed.


1. Define a link model. Proposed way: Create a base model, that you can extend from for example when
having a teaser model. And a CKLink model, whose purpose is only to provide a modelform and validation. No data is
ever written to that table, if used with DjangoLinkAdmin.

.. code-block:: python

# your_app/models.py

@python_2_unicode_compatible
class LinkModelBase(models.Model):
target = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, default='', )
external_url = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, default='',)
email = models.EmailField(blank=True, default='',)
testmodel = models.ForeignKey(TestModel, null=True, default=None, blank=True)

class Meta:
abstract = True

def __str__(self):
# do it better
return "LINK! %s" % self.target

def get_link(self):
# return link value, based on fields.
return "http://www.dynamic.com"


class CKLinkModel(LinkModelBase):
pass


2. Register your model with DjangoLinkAdmin.

.. code-block:: python

# your_app/admin.py
...
from ckeditor_link.admin import DjangoLinkAdmin

class CKModelLinkAdmin(DjangoLinkAdmin):
pass

admin.site.register(CKLinkModel, CKModelLinkAdmin)


3. Configure your django-ckeditor (or whatever ck you use).

.. code-block:: python

# config for django-ckeditor

CKEDITOR_LINK_MODEL = 'ckeditor_link.tests.test_app.models.LinkModel'
CKEDITOR_LINK_IFRAME_URL = reverse_lazy('admin:test_app_linkmodel_add')
CKEDITOR_LINK_VERIFY_URL = reverse_lazy('admin:test_app_linkmodel_verify')

CKEDITOR_CONFIGS = {
'default': {
'djangolinkIframeURL': CKEDITOR_LINK_IFRAME_URL,
'djangolinkVerifyURL': CKEDITOR_LINK_VERIFY_URL,
'extraPlugins': ','.join(
[
# your extra plugins here
'djangolink',
...
]),
'toolbar': 'Custom',
'toolbar_Custom': [
['Bold', 'Underline'],
['DjangoLink', 'Unlink'],
...
]
}
}


4. In your template, use the django-ckeditor-link templatetag.

.. code-block:: html

available, undocumented. at your own risk (needs lxml)


Contribute
------------

Fork and code. Quickstart:

.. code-block:: bash

pip install -r test_requirements.txt
./manage.py migrate # create local sqlite db
./manage.py createsuperuser # you want that
./manage.py loaddata test_app # same data that is used for running tests
./manage.py runserver # goto localhost:8000/admin/ or localhost:8000/testmodel/2/


Testing
#######
Either run `tox` for complete tests, or `python manage.py test --settings=ckeditor_link.tests.settings_test`
