Features

  • Django CMS page support.

  • Add request/reject buttons in Django CMS toolbar.

  • Django CMS placeholders support.

  • Hvad/Parler support.

  • Restrict user access to publish functions with user permissions.

base info

We have these three user types:

  • A user with only a few rights (we call it ‘reporter’)

  • A user with more rights (We call it ‘editor’)

  • The superuser with all rights

The user case is following:

  • ‘reporter’:

    • can only change draft content

    • can’t change public content

    • can’t delete publisher model entries or CMS pages.

    • can send a (un-)publish request to the ‘editor’ with a text node.

  • ‘editor’:

    • can response open publishing request from ‘reporter’.

    • can change drafts and public content, but only if there is no pending request.

    • can delete publisher model entries or CMS pages.

    • can’t delete/manipulate publisher state model entries.

permissions

Permissions for ‘reporter’ who can only create (un-)publish requests:

...
[ ] cms.publish_page
...
[*] cms.add_page
[*] cms.change_page
[ ] cms.delete_page
...
[ ] publisher.add_publisherstatemodel
[*] publisher.change_publisherstatemodel
[ ] publisher.delete_publisherstatemodel
...
[ ] <app_name>.can_publish_<model_name>
...
[*] <app_name>.add_<model_name>
[*] <app_name>.change_<model_name>
[ ] <app_name>.delete_<model_name>
...

Permissions for ‘editor’ who can accept/reject (un-)publish requests:

...
[*] cms.publish_page
...
[*] cms.add_page
[*] cms.change_page
[*] cms.delete_page
...
[ ] publisher.add_publisherstatemodel
[*] publisher.change_publisherstatemodel
[ ] publisher.delete_publisherstatemodel
...
[*] <app_name>.can_publish_<model_name>
...
[*] <app_name>.add_<model_name>
[*] <app_name>.change_<model_name>
[*] <app_name>.delete_<model_name>
...

Important: To prevent a privilege escalation, both users must not have access to these models:

  • django.contrib.auth.models.Permission

  • django.contrib.auth.models.Group

  • cms.models.PagePermission

Test users:

See user permission tests in:

Primary key type compatibility

The publisher.models.PublisherStateModel used a PositiveIntegerField for the GenericForeignKey so it can only be used for models with a integer primary keys! See also: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/contrib/contenttypes/#django.contrib.contenttypes.fields.GenericForeignKey

run tests

run tests via py.test with current python/environment:

$ make test
or
$ ./setup.py test
or
$ python tests/manage.py test myapp

run test via tox e.g.:

$ make tox
or
$ ./setup.py tox
or
$ tox

run test project

You can run the test environment by:

$ ./run_test_project_dev_server.sh

or:

$ ./publisher_test_project/manage.py run_test_project_dev_server

The following steps will be executed:

  • Create django users if not exists:

    • A django ‘superuser’

    • The user editor: He can accept/reject un-/publish requests

    • The user reporter: He can create un-/publish requests

    • note: Both users will used the same password as the ‘superuser’ !

  • run migration

  • insert test fixtures (Create Django CMS pages)

  • collect static files

  • run the django development server on localhost

You can pass arguments to the helper script, e.g.:

$ ./run_test_project_dev_server.sh --help
...
usage: manage.py run_test_project_dev_server [-h] [--version] [-v {0,1,2,3}]
                                             [--settings SETTINGS]
                                             [--pythonpath PYTHONPATH]
                                             [--traceback] [--no-color]
                                             [--ipv6] [--nothreading]
                                             [--noreload] [--nostatic]
                                             [--insecure]
                                             [addrport]
...

To ‘reset’ the test fixtures, run this:

$ ./publisher_test_project/manage.py create_test_data --fresh

For a complete fresh database, just remove the sqlite file, e.g.:

$ rm publisher_test_project/publisher_test_database.sqlite3
