wagtailsettings 0.2.1

Admin-editable settings for Wagtail projects

A plugin for Wagtail that provides add developer-defined settings to the admin.

Installing

Install using pip:

pip install wagtailsettings

It works with Wagtail 0.5 and upwards.

Add it to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS += [
    'wagtailnews',
]

Using

Create a model that inherits from BaseSetting, and register it using the register_setting decorator:

from wagtailnews.models import BaseSetting, register_setting

@register_setting
class SocialMediaSettings(BaseSetting):
    facebook = models.URLField(
        help_text='Your Facebook page URL')
    instagram = models.CharField(
        max_length=255, help_text='Your Instagram username, without the @')
    trip_advisor = models.URLField(
        help_text='Your Trip Advisor page URL')
    youtube = models.URLField(
        help_text='Your YouTube channel or user account URL')

A ‘Settings’ link will appear in the Wagtail admin, with links to each of the settings models defined.

If access to a setting is required in the code, the BaseSetting.for_site method will retrieve the setting for the supplied site:

def view(request):
    social_media_settings = SocialMediaSettings.for_site(request.site)
    ...
