djangocms-livedraftswitch 0.2.2

Returns classic DjangoCMS-style live-draft switch to DjangoCMS

# DjangoCMS Live-Draft Switch

Returns classic DjangoCMS-style live-draft switch to DjangoCMS.



## Wait, what?

With 3.1 release, DjangoCMS crew decided to replace the fabulous live-draft toggle / switch with
plain dumb boring buttons.

.

**I DON'T THINK SO!!!11number_one**

This is a quick'n'dirty response to that change. It's a JavaScript (jQuery, what else?!) hack
that replaces those new buttons with something resembling the old toggle.

.



## Oh common, that's not really a problem!

Well, it's not, really. But IMHO it's a step in the wrong direction, be it a tiny one.
And anyways, I find it simpler to quickly whip up this app together then to explain to my clients
that nothing has really changed.



## But it's different then it was

It's improooooved :)

The differences are cosmetic. And I like to think this one is a bit better, because:

- User can see what mode they are in, as well as what mode they will be switching to. This is not
a big deal, but it just might help a new user with their first edit ever.
- Orange Draft indicator is more visible then the classic gray dot.



## Ok, how do I install this thing?

pip install djangocms-livedraftswitch

Add before `cms` app:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'djangocms-livedraftswitch', # before cms app
'cms',
...
)

If you don't like Pypi, you can dump `djangocms-livedraftswitch` directory somewhere
in `PYTHONPATH`.


## Compatibility?

Not tested much really...

Works with DjangoCMS 3.1.2 and Django 1.7.9.

Browsers:

* Google Chrome 64
* Firefox 38
* Safari 8.0.7 - animation is a bit jerky
* IE 10+
* IE 9 - no animation


## Is that a demo project?

If you clone this repo, you'll get a full demo project. Not much of one, though, just a default
DjangoCMS setup with this app installed. But this repo includes a SQLite database, so you can test
it right away. Login with `admin` and `admin`.
