Quick hint
++++++++++
The following are minimal defaults to get the blog running; they may not be
suited for your deployment.
* Add the following settings to your project::
SOUTH_MIGRATION_MODULES = {
'easy_thumbnails': 'easy_thumbnails.south_migrations',
'taggit': 'taggit.south_migrations',
}
THUMBNAIL_PROCESSORS = (
'easy_thumbnails.processors.colorspace',
'easy_thumbnails.processors.autocrop',
'filer.thumbnail_processors.scale_and_crop_with_subject_location',
'easy_thumbnails.processors.filters',
)
META_SITE_PROTOCOL = 'http'
META_USE_SITES = True
* Configure parler according to your languages::
PARLER_LANGUAGES = {
1: (
{'code': 'en',},
{'code': 'it',},
{'code': 'fr',},
),
}
* Add the following to your ``urls.py``::
url(r'^taggit_autosuggest/', include('taggit_autosuggest.urls')),
* To start your blog create a new page from the CMS and hook it to the blog application:
* Create a new django CMS page
* Go to Advanced settings and sele select Blog from the Application selector;
* Eventually customise the Application instance name;
* Restart the project instance to properly load blog urls.
Templates
+++++++++
To ease the template customisations a ``djangocms_blog/base.html`` template is used by all the blog templates;
the templates itself extends a ``base.html`` template; content is pulled in the ``content`` block.
If you need to define a different base template, or if your base template does not defines a ``content`` block,
copy in your template directory ``djangocms_blog/base.html`` and customise it according to your
needs; the other application templates will use the newly created template and will ignore the bundled one.
