HTML editor on django.contrib.flatpages

Project description

About

django3-flatpages-tinymce provides on-site editing of "Flat Pages" with minimal impact on the rest of code. This is a fork of the original, dropping support for python 2 and django < 3.0.

django3-flatpages-tinymce is available under the MIT license.

Usage

First of all, you need to have django3-flatpages-tinymce and django-tinymce installed; for your convenience, recent versions should be available from PyPI.

pip install django-tinymce django3-flatpages-tinymce

To use, just add these applications to your INSTALLED_APPS after django.contrib.flatpages app:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
        'django.contrib.staticfiles',
        'django.contrib.flatpages',
        ...
        'tinymce',
        'flatpages_tinymce',
)

As instructed by the flatpages guide, add this to your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    ...
    'django.contrib.flatpages.middleware.FlatpageFallbackMiddleware',
)

Remember that this little addition to your urls.py is required by django-tinymce:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ...
    path('tinymce/', include('tinymce.urls')),
    ...
)

Finally create the tables for flatpages and install the JS/CSS files using

./manage.py nugrate
./manage.py collectstatic

If you want on-site editing of templates, you must edit flatpages templates: change {{flatpage.content} to {% flatpage_admin flatpage %} from flatpage_admin template library. So

{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block body %}
{% endblock %}
{% block body %}
<h1>{{flatpage.title}}</h1>
{{flatpage.content}}
{% endblock %}

will become

{% extends "base.html" %}
{% load flatpage_admin %}
{% block body %}
<h1>{{flatpage.title}}</h1>
{% flatpage_admin flatpage %]
{% endblock %}

If you are bothered with <script>/<link> tags, being inserted in <body> tag and your template has something like {% block extrahead %}, you can move all plugin media in head, using {% flatpage_media %} tag.

{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block extrahead %}
{% flatpage_media %}
{% endblock %}
{% block body %}
<h1>{{flatpage.title}}</h1>
{% flatpage_admin flatpage %}
{% endblock %}

Settings

Default settings are in flatpages_tinymce.settings.py file. Also, you can override them in site-wide settings.py file. The main of them are:

  • FLATPAGES_TINYMCE_ADMIN (default True) - use TinyMCE widget in admin area
  • FLATPAGES_TINYMCE_FRONTEND (default True) - use TinyMCE widget in frontend
  • FLATPAGES_TEMPLATE_DIR (default: TEMPLATE_DIRS[0] + 'flatpages') - directory where flatpages templates are placed
  • FLATPAGES USE_MINIFIED (defalut: not settings.DEBUG) - use minified versions of JS/CSS

Further, you will want to change default settings of TinyMCE Editor.

TINYMCE_DEFAULT_CONFIG = {
   # custom plugins
       'plugins': "table,spellchecker,paste,searchreplace",
   # editor theme
   'theme': "advanced",
   # custom CSS file for styling editor area
       'content_css': MEDIA_URL + "css/custom_tinymce.css",
       # use absolute urls when inserting links/images
       'relative_urls': False,
   }
