django-madcap-flare 0.0.3

Configuring

To setup your template tags, take the output of get_help_mapping and set it to the MADCAP_FLARE_TAGS in settings.py:

MADCAP_FLARE_TAGS = {
  'my-help-topic': '1000',
  'other-help-topic': '2000',
}

MADCAP_FLARE_ROOT = 'https://www.example.com/help_topics/'

The MADCAP_FLARE_ROOT setting tells Django what to use for your host name and default path.

View Mixin

To inject your information into your templates, you can use the view mixin for Madcap Flare:

from django.views.generic import ListView

from madcap_flare.views import MadcapFlareMixin

from myproject.myapp.models import MyModel


class MyListView(MadcapFlareMixin, ListView):
    """Sample list view.
    """

    help_key = 'my-help-topic'
    queryset = MyModel.objects.all()

The MadcapFlareMixin injects the help_key object into your template context.

Template Tag

The madcap_flare_help template tag outputs a Madcap Flare URL that can be linked from your templates:

{% load madcap_flare_tags %}
