Simple bookmarking application for Django projects.

Django Simple Links

Django Simple Links is a pluggable application that helps you to add a blogroll to projects wrote in Django.

Installation & Configuring

You can use pip to install the app:

pip install django-simple-links

After that, add 'simple_links' to INSTALLED_APPS in your project's settings.py. Finally, run the syncdb to add the tables to the database.

Usage

• In the admin: add a category called "blogroll" and a few links within this category.
• In your template: load link_list and call {% get_link_list "blogroll" as links, category %}

blogroll is the category's slug, links is the variable that will store your links and category is the variable that will store the category object. So you can handle it in "Django way", like this:

{% load link_list %}

{% get_link_list "blogroll" as links, category %}
{% if links %}
    <div class="module">
        <h3 class="title">{{ category.title }}</h3>
        <ul>
            {% for link in links %}
                <li>
                    <a href="{{ link.href }}"
                    title="{{ link.description }}">{{ link.title }}</a>
                </li>
            {% endfor %}
        </ul>
    </div>
{% endif %}

That's all.
