PunkwebBB

PunkwebBB is a Django application that provides a simple and modern forum board software for your Django website.

Check out punkweb.net for documentation, support and a live demonstration of the software.

Built with

• Django
• HTMX
• jQuery
• bbcode
• Markdown
• SCEditor
• TinyMDE
• PrismJS

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• Django 4.0+

It may work with older versions of Python and Django, but it has not been tested.

BBCode or Markdown?

PunkwebBB supports both BBCode and Markdown. You'll want to decide before installing which parser you want to use, as switching between them will cause existing threads, posts, signatures, etc. to render incorrectly! Switching will not affect the database schema, but it will affect the content.

BBCode is the default parser, but you can switch to Markdown by setting the following in your Django settings module:

PUNKWEB_BB = {
  "PARSER": "markdown",
}

Installation

pip install punkweb-bb

Add punkweb_bb to your INSTALLED_APPS in your Django settings module:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    "punkweb_bb",
]

Add the following context processor to your TEMPLATES setting:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        ...
        "OPTIONS": {
            "context_processors": [
                ...
                "punkweb_bb.context_processors.punkweb_bb",
            ],
        },
    },
]

Add the following URL pattern to your urls.py:

from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path("forum/", include("punkweb_bb.urls")), # or any other path you want
]

And finally, install the models:

python manage.py migrate

Configuration

These are the default settings for PunkwebBB, which can be overridden in your Django settings module:

PUNKWEB_BB = {
  "SITE_NAME": "PUNKWEB",
  "SITE_TITLE": "PunkwebBB",
  "PARSER": "bbcode", # "bbcode" or "markdown"
  "FAVICON": "punkweb_bb/favicon.ico",
  "OG_IMAGE": None, # Used for Open Graph meta tags, must be a full URL!
  "SHOUTBOX_ENABLED": True,
