django-copy 0.1.1

Probably the smallest and simplest CMS for the Django framework

django-copy

Probably the smallest and simplest djangocopy for Django.

While it is extremely simple, it supports some features that I haven't found in other djangocopy frameworks out there. Namely you can create pages for multiple languages but also for multiple locations or any conbination of both

Usage

Installation

1. Use pip to instal the latest stable release

   pip install django-copy
   

   You can also install a local copy by running setup.py install at the top directory of django-copy

2. Add djangocopy and dependencies to INSTALLED_APPS in the project settings (see dependencies below)

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.sites',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'django.contrib.humanize',
    'django.contrib.sitemaps',

    ...

    'ckeditor',
    'ckeditor_uploader',
    'simple_history',
    'djangocopy',

    ...
]

...

3. Setup `DJANGOCOPY_TEMPLATES` and `DJANGOCOPY_IMAGES` to define where uploaded template and image files are stored. 

For example:

    ```
    DJANGOCOPY_TEMPLATES = 'djangocopy/templates/'
    DJANGOCOPY_IMAGES = 'djangocopy/images/'
    ```

These paths will sit below `MEDIA_ROOT`

4. Add the  media folder to the `DIRS` list in `TEMPLATES` in order to serve uploaded templates. For example (if `DJANGOCOPY_TEMPLATES` is set as above:

    ```
    TEMPLATES = [
        {
            ...
            'DIRS': ['media/'],
            ...
        },
    ]
    ```

5. Add `djangocopy.middleware.LocalisationMiddleware` to `MIDDLEWARE` in the project settings file (OR see alternative below)

6. If not set already, set `MEDIA_ROOT` and `MEDIA_URL` in settings


### Dependencies:

Django-copy depends on the following packages

markdown django-jsonfield django-simple-history django-ckeditor django-ckeditor-filer

# django.contrib.auth settings
#

LOGIN_URL = '/accounts/login'
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/'
LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = '/accounts/login'


# CKEditor
#

CKEDITOR_BASEPATH = "{}ckeditor/ckeditor/".format(STATIC_URL)
CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH = 'uploads/'

CKEDITOR_CONFIGS = {
    ...
}

In urls.py add

path('ckeditor/', include('ckeditor_uploader.urls')),
path('accounts/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),
path('filer/', include('filer.urls')),
path('djangocopy/', include('djangocopy.urls')),

Optional:

Localisation Middleware

If you follow step 6 above, all views in the project will get access to the content stored in the djangocopy app. That carries a small overhead so if you want to avoid that you can instead add @decorator_from_middleware(LocalisationMiddleware) to each of the views that will require access to DB stored content.

For example:

from django.utils.decorators import decorator_from_middleware
from djangocopy.middleware import LocalisationMiddleware

@decorator_from_middleware(LocalisationMiddleware)
def my_view
    ...
