Project description

django-froala-editor package helps integrate Froala WYSIWYG editor with Django.

Getting started

  1. Install the package:

    pip install django-froala-editor

OR

Add the directory froala_editor from this repo to your Python path.

  1. Add froala_editor to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.

  2. Add the following line to urlpatterns in your application’s urls.py.

url(r'^froala_editor/', include('froala_editor.urls')),

Skip this url inclusion if you don’t want image upload inside WYSIWYG editor. Images from URLs can still be embedded.

Usage

from django.db import models
from froala_editor.fields import FroalaField

class Page(models.Model):
    content = FroalaField()

FroalaField uses froala_editor.widgets.FroalaEditor as its widget. You may directly use this widget with any of your forms.py:

from django import forms
from froala_editor.widgets import FroalaEditor

class PageForm(forms.ModelForm):
    content = models.TextField(widget=FroalaEditor)

Usage outside admin

When used outside the Django admin, the media files are to be manually included in the template. Inside the <head> section or before the form is rendered, include:

{{ form.media }}

OR:

<link href="{{STATIC_URL}}froala_editor/css/font-awesome.min.css" type="text/css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="{{STATIC_URL}}froala_editor/css/froala_editor.min.css" type="text/css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{STATIC_URL}}froala_editor/js/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{STATIC_URL}}froala_editor/js/froala_editor.min.js"></script>

If your template already uses jQuery (v1.10.2+ required), include:

<link href="{{STATIC_URL}}froala_editor/css/font-awesome.min.css" type="text/css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="{{STATIC_URL}}froala_editor/css/froala_editor.min.css" type="text/css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{STATIC_URL}}froala_editor/js/froala_editor.min.js"></script>

Options

Froala Editor provides several options for customizing the editor. See http://editor.froala.com/docs for all available options. You can provide a dictionary of these options as FROALA_EDITOR_OPTIONS setting in settings.py. These options would then be used for all instances of the WYSIWYG editor in the project.

Options for individual field can also be provided via FroalaField or FroalEditor class. This overrides any options set via FROALA_EDITOR_OPTIONS.:

from django.db import models
from froala_editor.fields import FroalaField

class Page(models.Model):
    content = FroalaField(options={
        'inlineMode': True,
    })
from django import forms
from froala_editor.widgets import FroalaEditor

class PageForm(forms.ModelForm):
    content = forms.TextField(widget=FroalaEditor(options={
        'inlineMode': True,
    }        ))

You can use FROALA_UPLOAD_PATH setting in settings.py to change the path where uploaded files are stored within the MEDIA_ROOT. By default, uploads/froala_editor/images is used for storing uploaded images.
