A reusable Django app that enables users of your site to tag items. Each user's tags are separated so that the auto-suggest functionality will never suggest tags another user has entered.
Project description
WORK IN PROGRESS. DO NOT USE THIS!
A Django application for allowing users to add tags to any object. Each user’s tags are nicely separated so that the auto-suggest functionality will never suggest tags that have been entered by a different user (unless you want so).
Installation
You need to install the following prerequisites in order to use this app:
pip install Django pip install South
If you want to install the latest stable release from PyPi:
$ pip install django-user-tags
If you feel adventurous and want to install the latest commit from GitHub:
$ pip install -e git://github.com/bitmazk/django-user-tags.git#egg=user_tags
Add user_tags to your INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = ( ..., 'user_tags', )
Don’t forget to migrate your database:
./manage.py migrate user_tags
Add jQuery and jQuery UI and tag-it to your base template or at least to the template that should display forms with tag fields:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.12/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> <script src="{{ STATIC_URL }}user_tags/js/tag-it.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
Also add a jQuery UI theme and the tag-it theme to your template:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1/themes/flick/jquery-ui.css"> <link href="{{ STATIC_URL }}user_tags/css/jquery.tagit.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
Usage
First you need to modify the model that should be able to hold tags:
class YourModel(models.Model): TAG_FIELDS = [ { 'name': 'tags', 'verbose_name': _('Tags'), 'help_text': _('Help text'), 'with_user': True, }, { 'name': 'global_tags', 'verbose_name': _('Global Tags'), 'with_user': False, } ]
TAG_FIELDS is a list of dictionaries. Each dictionary can have the following keys:
name (mandatory). This will be the name of the tag group in the database and also the form field’s name.
verbose_name. This will be the label of the form field. If not provided it will be the same as name.
With user. If True, the item that gets tagged must have a ForeignKey to a User object or provide a get_user method. If False we assume that the tags for this item are global.
Next you would create a ModelForm for your taggable model:
from django import forms from user_tags.forms import UserTagsFormMixin from your_app.models import YourModel class YourModelForm(UserTagsFormMixin, forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = DummyModel
The UserTagsFormMixin will do the magic for you and add a form field for every item in TAG_FIELDS on your model. These fields will have a class tagItInput, which will enable you execute the following JavaScript on the page that holds the form:
<script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $(".tagItInput").tagit({ allowSpaces: true, availableTags: ["c++", "java", "php", "javascript", "ruby", "python", "c"], caseSensitive: false }); }); </script>
This is just a sane set of settings that we like to use. You can of course tweak that to your liking. See the tag-it documentation for further reference.
Contribute
If you want to contribute to this project, please perform the following steps:
# Fork this repository # Clone your fork $ mkvirtualenv -p python2.7 django-online-docs $ pip install -r requirements.txt $ ./online_docs/tests/runtests.sh # You should get no failing tests $ git co -b feature_branch master # Implement your feature and tests $ ./online_docs/tests/runtests.sh # You should still get no failing tests # Describe your change in the CHANGELOG.txt $ git add . && git commit $ git push origin feature_branch # Send us a pull request for your feature branch
Whenever you run the tests a coverage output will be generated in tests/coverage/index.html. When adding new features, please make sure that you keep the coverage at 100%.
If you are making changes that need to be tested in a browser (i.e. to the CSS or JS files), you might want to setup a Django project, follow the installation insttructions above, then run python setup.py develop. This will just place an egg-link to your cloned fork in your project’s virtualenv.
