Wagtail Footnotes

PyPI PyPI downloads Build Status

Add footnotes functionality to your Wagtail project.

Usage

  • Add the app to INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    "wagtail_footnotes",
    # ...
]
  • Add the footnotes urls.py to your project's urls.py:
from wagtail_footnotes import urls as footnotes_urls

urlpatterns = [
    # ...
    path("footnotes/", include(footnotes_urls)),
    # ...
]

Note: The URL has to be defined as above as it is currently hardcoded in the Javascript.

  • Update your page models to show the footnotes field:
class InformationPage(BasePage):
    # ...
    content_panels = [
        # ...
        InlinePanel("footnotes", label="Footnotes"),
    ]
  • Update your RichTextBlocks
    • Add "footnotes" to the features arg for each RichTextBlock that you want to have this functionality
    • You will also need to change any RichTextBlocks to wagtail_footnotes.blocks.RichTextBlockWithFootnotes
  • Update your page templates to include {% include "wagtail_footnotes/includes/footnotes.html" %}

Make and run migrations:

./manage.py makemigrations
./manage.py migrate

Settings

  • WAGTAIL_FOOTNOTES_TEXT_FEATURES
    • Default: ["bold", "italic", "link"]
    • Use this to update a list of Rich Text features allowed in the footnote text.

Common issues

  • I click on the Fn button in the editor and it stops working
    • This is likely because the URL in the JS does not match the URL of the footnotes view. Check the URL in wagtail_footnotes/static/footnotes/js/footnotes.js matches the URL you set.
  • NoneType error when rendering page.
    • Make sure you are rendering the field in the template using {% include_block page.field_name %}
