djangocms-blog

django CMS blog application - Support for multilingual posts, placeholders, social network meta tags and configurable apphooks.

Supported Django versions:

• Django 1.8

• Django 1.9

Supported django CMS versions:

• django CMS 3.2+

Warning

Strict dependency on aldryn-search, haystack has been dropped. Install them separately to enable full text search support. See installation docs for details.

Warning

Version 0.8 will be the last one supporting Python 2.6, Python 3.3, Django<1.8 and django CMS<3.2.

Warning

Starting from version 0.8, date_published is not set anymore when creating a post but rather when publishing. This does not change the overall behavior, but be warned if you expect it to be not null in custom code.

Upgrading cmsplugin-filer from 1.0 to 1.1

Due to changes in cmsplugin-filer/filer which moved ThumbnailOption model from the former to the latter, djangocms-blog must be migrated as well.

Migrating cmsplugin-filer to 1.1 and djangocms-blog up to 0.8.4

If you have djangocms-blog up to 0.8.4 (included) installed or you are upgrading from a previous djangocms-blog version together with cmsplugin-filer upgrade, you can just apply the migrations:

pip install cmsplugin-filer==1.1.1 django-filer==1.2.2 djangocms-blog==0.8.4
python manage.py migrate

Migrating cmsplugin-filer to 1.1 and djangocms-blog 0.8.5+

If you already a djangocms-blog 0.8.5+ or above, you have to de-apply some blog migrations when doing the upgrade:

python manage.py migrate djangocms_blog 0017 ## reverse for these migration is a noop
pip install cmsplugin-filer==1.1.1 django-filer==1.2.2
python manage.py migrate

Note

de-apply migration before upgrading cmsplugin-filer. If running before upgrade, the backward migration won’t alter anything on the database, and it will just allow the code to migrate ThumbnailOption from cmsplugin-filer to filer
