A djangoCMS 3 blog application.

Supported Django versions:

* Django 1.6
* Django 1.7
* Django 1.8

Supported django CMS versions:

* django CMS 3.x


.. warning:: Version 0.6 changes the field of LatestPostsPlugin.tags field.
             A datamigration is in place to migrate the data, but check that
             works ok for your project before upgrading, as this might delete
             some relevant data.

.. warning:: Starting from version 0.5, this package does not declare dependency
             on South anymore; please install it separately if using this
             application on Django 1.6.


Quickstart
----------

Install djangocms-blog::

    pip install djangocms-blog

Add ``djangocms_blog`` and its dependencies to INSTALLED_APPS::

    INSTALLED_APPS = [
        ...
        'filer',
        'easy_thumbnails',
        'cmsplugin_filer_image',
        'parler',
        'taggit',
        'taggit_autosuggest',
        'meta',
        'meta_mixin',
        'admin_enhancer',
        'djangocms_blog',
        ...
    ]

Then sync and migrate::

    $ python manage.py syncdb
    $ python manage.py migrate

External applications configuration
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Dependency applications may need configuration to work properly.

Please, refer to each application documentation on details.

* django-filer: http://django-filer.readthedocs.org
* django-meta: https://github.com/nephila/django-meta#installation
* django-parler: http://django-parler.readthedocs.org/en/latest/quickstart.html#configuration
* django-taggit-autosuggest: https://bitbucket.org/fabian/django-taggit-autosuggest

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

* If you are using Django 1.7+, be aware than ``filer`` < 0.9.10, ``cmsplugin_filer``
  and ``django-cms`` < 3.1 currently requires you to setup ``MIGRATION_MODULES`` in settings::

    MIGRATION_MODULES = {
       'cms': 'cms.migrations_django', # only for django CMS 3.0
       'menus': 'menus.migrations_django',  # only for django CMS 3.0
       'filer': 'filer.migrations_django',  # only for django filer 0.9.9 and below
       'cmsplugin_filer_image': 'cmsplugin_filer_image.migrations_django',
    }

  Please check
  `django CMS installation <http://django-cms.readthedocs.org/en/support-3.0.x/how_to/integrate.html#installing-and-configuring-django-cms-in-your-django-project>`_,
  `cmsplugin-filer README <https://github.com/stefanfoulis/cmsplugin-filer#installation>`_
  for detailed information.

* 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 you need to use `AppHooks from django CMS <http://django-cms.readthedocs.org/en/support-3.0.x/how_to/apphooks.html>`_
  to add the blog to a django CMS page:

  * Create a new django CMS page
  * Go to Advanced settings and select Blog from the Application selector;
  * Eventually customise the Application instance name;
  * Publish the page
  * Restart the project instance to properly load blog urls.

* Add and edit blog by creating them in the admin or using the toolbar,
  and the use the `django CMS frontend editor <http://django-cms.readthedocs.org/en/support-3.0.x/user/reference/page_admin.html#the-interface>`_
  to edit the blog content:

  * 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
  * Publish the blog post by flagging the "Publish" switch in the blog post admin

Configurable permalinks
+++++++++++++++++++++++

Blog comes with four different styles of permalinks styles:

* Full date: ``YYYY/MM/DD/SLUG``
* Year /  Month: ``YYYY/MM/SLUG``
* Category: ``CATEGORY/SLUG``
* Just slug: ``SLUG``

As all the styles are loaded in the urlconf, the latter two does not allow to have CMS pages
beneath the page the blog is attached to. If you want to do this, you have to override the default
urlconfs by setting somethik like the following in the project settings::

    BLOG_PERMALINKS_URLS = {
        'full_date': r'^(?P<year>\d{4})/(?P<month>\d{1,2})/(?P<day>\d{1,2})/(?P<slug>\w[-\w]*)/$',
        'short_date': r'^(?P<year>\d{4})/(?P<month>\d{1,2})/(?P<slug>\w[-\w]*)/$',
        'category': r'^post/(?P<category>\w[-\w]*)/(?P<slug>\w[-\w]*)/$',
        'slug': r'^post/(?P<slug>\w[-\w]*)/$',
    }

And change ``post/`` with the desired prefix.

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.

Features
--------

* Placeholder content editing
* Frontend editing using django CMS 3.0 frontend editor
* Multilingual support using django-parler
* Support for Twitter cards, Open Graph and Google+ snippets meta tags
* Optional support for simpler TextField-based content editing
