Django admin app for Pelican blogs.
Project description
pelican_admin
pelican_admin was developed to assist you manage your Pelican blog.
This is an alpha previous release and will have upcoming new features.
Usage
Insert pelican_admin to the end of your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:
INSTALLED_APPS = ( ... 'pelican_admin', ... )
Don’t forget to sync your db with:
python manage.py syncdb
Or, if you’re using south:
python manage.py migrate pelican_admin
Now, you must tell pelican_admin what’s the path to you pelican blog. In your settings.py you must add:
PELICAN_PATH = '/path/to/your/blog' PELICAN_SETTINGS = 'your_pelican_settings.py # The default value is 'pelicanconf.py' PELICAN_BIN = 'pelican' # Path to pelican executable. Default value is '/usr/local/bin/pelican'
Make sure your pelican service is running in autoreload mode:
pelican -s /path/to/pelican/settings -r &
This will have your pelican to reload itself whenever your folder blog changes. Without this configuration, pelican_admin is pretty much useless. So be sure to use it.
If you’re using django-admin-tools there’s a module available where you can manage your pelican service via admin interface. Add pelican_admin to your urls.py:
import pelican_admin url_patterns = patterns('', url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)), url(r'^admin_tools/', include('admin_tools.urls')), ... ) urlpatterns += pelican_admin.pelican_urls()
And finally, add pelican_admin’s module to your dashboard.py:
from pelican_admin.modules import PelicanAdmin class CustomIndexDashboard(Dashboard): def init_with_context(self, context): ... self.children.append(PelicanAdmin())
This module is super useful not only to check Pelican’s service status, but also to reload it if any change you made doesn’t load.
