djangocms-helper 0.8.0

Helpers for django CMS plugin development

Helper for django CMS plugin development

djangocms-helper is a set of commands to handle django CMS plugins development process.

It’s a modified version of django CMS’s own develop.py script, modified to handle generic plugins development process.

warning

Since version 0.7 django CMS is no more a hard dependency; install it manually to enable --cms option

Common options

• --cms: Loads configuration to properly run a django CMS-based application;

• --extra-settings: Path to a helper file to set extra settings; see Settings section for details;

Usage

The command must be executed in the main plugin directory (i.e. in the same directory as the setup.py file) as it needs to import files relative to the current directory.

The basic command structure is:

djangocms-helper <application> <command> [options ...]

where <application> is the django application name and <command> is one of the available commands. Optins vary for each command.

Runner

By using the integrated runned in the settings file you’ll be able to run the commands without invoking djangocms-helper: see Integrate runner for reference.

Thanks

The general logic and part of the code of the whole application is heavily taken from django CMS’s own develop.py so all the contributors deserve a huge thanks for their work.
