|
|

|
|
* configure haystack according to `aldryn-search docs <https://github.com/aldryn/aldryn-search#usage>`_
|
|
and `haystack docs <http://django-haystack.readthedocs.io/en/stable/>`_.
|
|
|
|
To enable taggit filtering support in the admin install djangocms-blog with::
|
|

*********************
|
|
Minimal configuration
|
|
*********************
|
|
|
|
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::
|
|
|
|
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',},
|
|
),
|
|
'default': {
|
|
'fallbacks': ['en', 'it', 'fr'],
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Since parler 1.6 this can be skipped if the language configuration is the same as ``CMS_LANGUAGES``.
|
|
|
|
* Add the following to your ``urls.py``::
|
|
|
|
url(r'^taggit_autosuggest/', include('taggit_autosuggest.urls')),
|
|
|
|
* To start your blog you need to use `AppHooks from django CMS <http://docs.django-cms.org/en/latest/how_to/apphooks.html>`_
|
|
to add the blog to a django CMS page; this step is not required when using
|
|
`Auto setup <https://github.com/nephila/djangocms-blog/blob/develop/docs/installation.rst#auto-setup>`_:
|
|
|
|
* Create a new django CMS page
|
|
* Go to **Advanced settings** and select Blog from the **Application** selector and
|
|
create an **Application configuration**;
|
|
* Eventually customise the Application instance name;
|
|
* Publish the page
|
|
* Restart the project instance to properly load blog urls.
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: After adding the apphook to the page you **cannot** change the **Instance Namespace**
|
|
field for the defined **AppHokConfig**; if you want to change it, create a new one
|
|
with the correct namespace, go in the CMS page **Advanced settings** and switch to the
|
|
new **Application configuration**
|
|
|
|
* Add and edit blog by creating them in the admin or using the toolbar,
|
|
and the use the `django CMS frontend editor <http://docs.django-cms.org/en/latest/user/reference/page_admin.html>`_
|
|

|
|
|
|
* Create a new blog entry in django admin backend or from the toolbar
|
|
* Click on "view on site" button to view the post detail page
|
|
* Edit the post via djangocms frontend by adding / editing plugins
|

Auto setup
|
|
**********
|
|
|
|
``djangocms_blog`` can install and configue itself if it does not find any
|
|
attached instance of itself.
|
|
This feature is enable by default and will create:
|
|
|
|
* a ``BlogConfig`` with default values
|
|
* a ``Blog`` CMS page and will attach ``djangocms_blog`` instance to it
|
|
* a **home page** if no home is found.
|
|
|
|
All the items will be created in every language configured for the website
|
|
and the pages will be published. If not using **aldryn-apphook-reload** or
|
|
**django CMS 3.2** auto-reload middleware you are required to reload the
|
|
project instance after this.
|
|
This will only work for the current website as detected by
|
|
``Site.objects.get_current()``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The auto setup is execute once for each server start but it will skip any
|
|
action if a ``BlogConfig`` instance is found.
