wagtailcontentstream 0.4.0

Wagtail Content Stream provides a StreamField of standard content types.

Wagtail Content Stream

An abstract Django model with a Wagtail StreamField named body with multiple blocks I use on a regular basis. It's opinioned: very little HTML is allowed in the text block, forcing authors to create structured data. The following blocks are included in the StreamBlock, ContentStreamBlock:

• Heading
• Paragraph
• Captioned Image
• Embed
• Table
• Code Block

A secondary StreamBlock, ContentStreamBlockWithRawCode, also provides an additional block for injecting HTML, JS, and CSS code. Use with care, as this can really blow up your markup and is a potential code injection point!

Three pages types are provided out-of-the-box.

Example Usage

You will need to add wagtailcodeblock to your INSTALLED_APPS Django setting.

Basic Usage: a Title Field and Content Stream

First, create a page type in your models.py:

from wagtailcontentstream.models import ContentStreamPage, SectionContentStreamPage, ContentStreamPageWithRawCode

class StandardPage(ContentStreamPage):
    pass

class SectionStandardPage(SectionContentStreamPage):
    pass

class StandardPageWithRawCode(ContentStreamPageWithRawCode):
    pass

Then in your template:

{% load wagtailcore_tags %}

<h2>{{ page.title }}</h2>
{% include_block page.body %}

Extended Usage: Adding More Fields

from django.conf import settings
from django.db import models
from wagtail.wagtailadmin.edit_handlers import FieldPanel
from wagtailcontentstream.models import ContentStreamPage


class StandardPage(ContentStreamPage):
    date = models.DateField("Post Date")
    authors = models.ManyToManyField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)

    content_panels = [
        FieldPanel('date'),
        FieldPanel('authors'),
    ] + ContentStreamPage.content_panels
