wagtail-linksnippet 0.1.0

A Wagtail extension to open custom chooser from RichText Editor.

Wagtail Link Snippet

This project provides a custom implementation for adding link buttons in Wagtail’s rich text editor to link specific snippets within the Wagtail admin interface.

Overview

The package integrates with Wagtail’s ChooserViewSet (Wagtail documentation).

Installation and Setup

pip install watail_linksnippet

Make sure to include the relevant app that contains the rich text features and handlers in your INSTALLED_APPS within settings.py.

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # Other installed apps
    'wagtail_linksnippet',
]

Usage Example

You can configure the snippet choosers in your wagtail_hooks.py file by registering the chooser viewsets.

from wagtail_linksnippet.richtext_utils import add_snippet_link_button

add_snippet_link_button(snippet1_chooser_viewset)
add_snippet_link_button(snippet2_chooser_viewset)

Bonus TitleExtraChooseView

The package includes a view_utils.py module designed to add attributes to chooser modal links, similar to how attributes are handled in the page chooser modal.

Here’s an example of how to use the TitleExtraChooseView module:

# views.py

from wagtail.admin.views.generic.chooser import ChooseView
from wagtail_linksnippet.views_utils import CustomChooseView

class CustomChooseView(TitleExtraChooseView):
