djangocms-link 2.1.0

Adds a link plugin to django CMS

django CMS Link is a plugin for django CMS that allows you to add links on your site.

This plugin supports child plugins. If you add an other plugin as a child it will take this content instead of the link name as the content of the link.

This addon is compatible with Divio Cloud and is also available on the django CMS Marketplace for easy installation.

Documentation

See REQUIREMENTS in the setup.py file for additional dependencies:

• Python 2.7, 3.3 or higher

• Django 1.8 or higher

Installation

For a manual install:

• run pip install djangocms-link

• add djangocms_link to your INSTALLED_APPS

• run python manage.py migrate djangocms_link

Configuration

Note that the provided templates are very minimal by design. You are encouraged to adapt and override them to your project’s requirements.

This addon provides a default template for all instances. You can provide additional template choices by adding a DJANGOCMS_LINK_TEMPLATES setting:

DJANGOCMS_LINK_TEMPLATES = [
    ('feature', _('Featured Version')),
]

You’ll need to create the feature folder inside templates/djangocms_link/ otherwise you will get a template does not exist error. You can do this by copying the default folder inside that directory and renaming it to feature.

To support environments where non-standard URLs would otherwise work, this project supports the defining of an additional RegEx pattern for validating the host-portion of the URL.

For example:

# RFC1123 Pattern:
DJANGOCMS_LINK_INTRANET_HOSTNAME_PATTERN = r'[a-z,0-9,-]{1,15}'

Either of these might accept a URL such as:

http://SEARCHHOST/?q=some+search+string

If left undefined, the normal Django URLValidator will be used.

Django Select2

This plugin supports django-select2 for simpler use of internal links. You need to manually enable it by:

• run pip install django-select2

• add django_select2 to your INSTALLED_APPS

• add url(r'^select2/', include('django_select2.urls')), to your urls.py

• set DJANGOCMS_LINK_USE_SELECT2 = True in your settings.py

Running Tests

You can run tests by executing:

virtualenv env
