Simple django-cms blog app

Blogit

A simple blog application for djangoCMS.

---

Requirements

• Django 1.10, 1.9
• django-cms for placeholders.
• django-filer for file management.
• django-mptt for tree management.
• django-parler to translate everything.

Installation

Install using pip:

pip install djangocms-blogit

You should follow django-cms & django-filer installation guide first, and then add the following to your settings:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'mptt',
    'parler',
    'blogit',
]

Urls

There are two ways to configure the urls. First would be to add to your urls.py:

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^blog/', include('blogit.urls')),
    ...
]

The second option is to use django-cms apphooks. Blogit comes with a couple of those for different application parts. BlogitApphook is the main one, and one that should always be attached to a page (if the urls are not already added). Then there are other optional apphooks for category, tags & feeds. If you want to keep it simple, and not have to set every application part individually. You can add to your settings:

BLOGIT_SINGLE_APPHOOK = True

This will load all the neccesary urls under the BlogitApphook.
