Your first Wagtail site
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
This tutorial covers setting up a brand new Wagtail project. If you'd like to add Wagtail to an existing Django project instead, see :doc:`integrating_into_django`.
|
|
|
|
1. Install Wagtail and its dependencies:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ pip install wagtail
|
|
|
|
2. Start your site:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ wagtail start mysite
|
|
$ cd mysite
|
|
|
|
Wagtail provides a ``start`` command similar to
|
|
``django-admin.py startproject``. Running ``wagtail start mysite`` in
|
|
your project will generate a new ``mysite`` folder with a few
|
|
Wagtail-specific extras, including the required project settings, a
|
|
"home" app with a blank ``HomePage`` model and basic templates and a sample
|
|
"search" app.
|
|
|
|
3. Install project dependencies:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
|
|
This ensures that you have the relevant version of Django for the project you've just created.
|
|
|
|
4. Create the database:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ python manage.py migrate
|
|
|
|
If you haven't updated the project settings, this will be a SQLite
|
|
database file in the project directory.
|
|
|
|
5. Create an admin user:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ python manage.py createsuperuser
|
|
|
|
6. ``python manage.py runserver`` If everything worked,
|
|
http://127.0.0.1:8000 will show you a welcome page
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../_static/images/tutorial/tutorial_1.png
|
|
:alt: Wagtail welcome message
|
|
|
|
You can now access the administrative area at http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../_static/images/tutorial/tutorial_2.png
|
|
:alt: Administrative screen
|
|
|
|
Extend the HomePage model
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Out of the box, the "home" app defines a blank ``HomePage`` model in ``models.py``, along with a migration that creates a homepage and configures Wagtail to use it.
|
|
|
|
Edit ``home/models.py`` as follows, to add a ``body`` field to the model:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from __future__ import unicode_literals
|
|
|
|
from django.db import models
|
|
|
|
from wagtail.wagtailcore.models import Page
|
|
from wagtail.wagtailcore.fields import RichTextField
|
|
from wagtail.wagtailadmin.edit_handlers import FieldPanel
|
|
|
|
|
|
class HomePage(Page):
|
|
body = RichTextField(blank=True)
|
|
|
|
content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
|
|
FieldPanel('body', classname="full"),
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
``body`` is defined as ``RichTextField``, a special Wagtail field. You
|
|
can use any of the `Django core fields <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/models/fields/>`__. ``content_panels`` define the
|
|
capabilities and the layout of the editing interface. :doc:`More on creating Page models. <../topics/pages>`
|
|
|
|
Run ``python manage.py makemigrations``, then
|
|
``python manage.py migrate`` to update the database with your model
|
|
changes. You must run the above commands each time you make changes to
|
|
the model definition.
|
|
|
|
You can now edit the homepage within the Wagtail admin area (go to Explorer, Homepage, then Edit) to see the new body field. Enter some text into the body field, and publish the page.
|
|
|
|
The page template now needs to be updated to reflect the changes made
|
|
to the model. Wagtail uses normal Django templates to render each page
|
|
type. By default, it will look for a template filename formed from the app and model name,
|
|
separating capital letters with underscores (e.g. HomePage within the 'home' app becomes
|
|
``home/home_page.html``). This template file can exist in any location recognised by
|
|
`Django's template rules <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/intro/tutorial03/#write-views-that-actually-do-something>`__; conventionally it is placed under a ``templates`` folder within the app.
|
|
|
|
Edit ``home/templates/home/home_page.html`` to contain the following:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: html+django
|
|
|
|
{% extends "base.html" %}
|
|
|
|
{% load wagtailcore_tags %}
|
|
|
|
{% block body_class %}template-homepage{% endblock %}
|
|
|
|
{% block content %}
|
|
{{ page.body|richtext }}
|
|
{% endblock %}
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../_static/images/tutorial/tutorial_3.png
|
|
:alt: Updated homepage
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wagtail template tags
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Wagtail provides a number of :ref:`template tags & filters <template-tags-and-filters>`
|
|
which can be loaded by including ``{% load wagtailcore_tags %}`` at the top of
|
|
your template file.
|
|
|
|
In this tutorial, we use the `richtext` filter to escape and print the contents
|
|
of a ``RichTextField``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: html+django
|
|
|
|
{% load wagtailcore_tags %}
|
|
{{ page.body|richtext }}
|
|
|
|
Produces:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: html
|
|
|
|
<div class="rich-text">
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Welcome</b> to our new site!
|
|
</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
**Note:** You'll need to include ``{% load wagtailcore_tags %}`` in each
|
|
template that uses Wagtail's tags. Django will throw a ``TemplateSyntaxError``
|
|
if the tags aren't loaded.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A basic blog
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
We are now ready to create a blog. To do so, run
|
|
``python manage.py startapp blog`` to create a new app in your Wagtail site.
|
|
|
|
Add the new ``blog`` app to ``INSTALLED_APPS`` in ``mysite/settings/base.py``.
|
|
|
|
Blog Index and Posts
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Lets start with a simple index page for our blog. In ``blog/models.py``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from wagtail.wagtailcore.models import Page
|
|
from wagtail.wagtailcore.fields import RichTextField
|
|
from wagtail.wagtailadmin.edit_handlers import FieldPanel
|
|
|
|
|
|
class BlogIndexPage(Page):
|
|
intro = RichTextField(blank=True)
|
|
|
|
content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
|
|
FieldPanel('intro', classname="full")
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
Run ``python manage.py makemigrations`` and ``python manage.py migrate``.
|
|
|
|
Since the model is called ``BlogIndexPage``, the default template name
|
|
(unless we override it) will be ``blog/templates/blog/blog_index_page.html``. Create this file
|
|
with the following content:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: html+django
|
|
|
|
{% extends "base.html" %}
|
|
|
|
{% load wagtailcore_tags %}
|
|
|
|
{% block body_class %}template-blogindexpage{% endblock %}
|
|
|
|
{% block content %}
|
|
<h1>{{ page.title }}</h1>
|
|
|
|
<div class="intro">{{ page.intro|richtext }}</div>
|
|
|
|
{% for post in page.get_children %}
|
|
<h2><a href="{% pageurl post %}">{{ post.title }}</a></h2>
|
|
{{ post.specific.intro }}
|
|
{{ post.specific.body|richtext }}
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
{% endblock %}
|
|
|
|
Most of this should be familiar, but we'll explain ``get_children`` a bit later.
|
|
Note the ``pageurl`` tag, which is similar to Django's ``url`` tag but
|
|
takes a Wagtail Page object as an argument.
|
|
|
|
In the Wagtail admin, create a ``BlogIndexPage`` under the Homepage,
|
|
make sure it has the slug "blog" on the Promote tab, and publish it.
|
|
You should now be able to access the url ``/blog`` on your site
|
|
(note how the slug from the Promote tab defines the page URL).
|
|
|
|
Now we need a model and template for our blog posts. In ``blog/models.py``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from django.db import models
|
|
|
|
from wagtail.wagtailcore.models import Page
|
|
from wagtail.wagtailcore.fields import RichTextField
|
|
from wagtail.wagtailadmin.edit_handlers import FieldPanel
|
|
from wagtail.wagtailsearch import index
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Keep the definition of BlogIndexPage, and add:
|
|
|
|
|
|
class BlogPage(Page):
|
|
date = models.DateField("Post date")
|
|
intro = models.CharField(max_length=250)
|
|
body = RichTextField(blank=True)
|
|
|
|
search_fields = Page.search_fields + [
|
|
index.SearchField('intro'),
|
|
index.SearchField('body'),
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
|
|
FieldPanel('date'),
|
|
FieldPanel('intro'),
|
|
FieldPanel('body', classname="full"),
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
Run ``python manage.py makemigrations`` and ``python manage.py migrate``.
|
|
|
|
Create a template at ``blog/templates/blog/blog_page.html``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: html+django
|
|
|
|
{% extends "base.html" %}
|
|
|
|
{% load wagtailcore_tags %}
|
|
|
|
{% block body_class %}template-blogpage{% endblock %}
|
|
|
|
{% block content %}
|
|
<h1>{{ page.title }}</h1>
|
|
<p class="meta">{{ page.date }}</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="intro">{{ page.intro }}</div>
|
|
|
|
{{ page.body|richtext }}
|
|
|
|
<p><a href="{{ page.get_parent.url }}">Return to blog</a></p>
|
|
|
|
{% endblock %}
|
|
|
|
Note the use of Wagtail's built-in ``get_parent()`` method to obtain the
|
|
URL of the blog this post is a part of.
|
|
|
|
Now create a few blog posts as children of ``BlogIndexPage``.
|
|
Be sure to select type "Blog Page" when creating your posts.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../_static/images/tutorial/tutorial_4a.png
|
|
:alt: Create blog post as child of BlogIndex
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../_static/images/tutorial/tutorial_4b.png
|
|
:alt: Choose type BlogPost
|
|
|
|
Wagtail gives you full control over what kinds of content can be created under
|
|
various parent content types. By default, any page type can be a child of any
|
|
other page type.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../_static/images/tutorial/tutorial_5.png
|
|
:alt: Page edit screen
|
|
|
|
You should now have the very beginnings of a working blog.
|
|
Access the ``/blog`` URL and you should see something like this:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../_static/images/tutorial/tutorial_7.png
|
|
:alt: Blog basics
|
|
|
|
Titles should link to post pages, and a link back to the blog's
|
|
homepage should appear in the footer of each post page.
|
|
|
|
Parents and Children
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Much of the work you'll be doing in Wagtail revolves around the concept of hierarchical
|
|
"tree" structures consisting of nodes and leaves (see :doc:`../reference/pages/theory`).
|
|
In this case, the ``BlogIndexPage`` is a "node" and individual ``BlogPage`` instances
|
|
are the "leaves".
|
|
|
|
Take another look at the guts of ``blog_index_page.html``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: html+django
|
|
|
|
{% for post in page.get_children %}
|
|
<h2><a href="{% pageurl post %}">{{ post.title }}</a></h2>
|
|
{{ post.specific.intro }}
|
|
{{ post.specific.body|richtext }}
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
Every "page" in Wagtail can call out to its parent or children
|
|
from its own position in the hierarchy. But why do we have to
|
|
specify ``post.specific.intro`` rather than ``post.intro``?
|
|
This has to do with the way we defined our model:
|
|
|
|
``class BlogPage(Page):``
|
|
|
|
The ``get_children()`` method gets us a list of instances of the ``Page`` base class.
|
|
When we want to reference properties of the instances that inherit from the base class,
|
|
Wagtail provides the ``specific`` method that retrieves the actual ``BlogPage`` record.
|
|
While the "title" field is present on the base ``Page`` model, "intro" is only present
|
|
on the ``BlogPage`` model, so we need ``.specific`` to access it.
|
|
|
|
To tighten up template code like this, we could use Django's ``with`` tag:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: html+django
|
|
|
|
{% for post in page.get_children %}
|
|
{% with post=post.specific %}
|
|
<h2><a href="{% pageurl post %}">{{ post.title }}</a></h2>
|
|
<p>{{ post.intro }}</p>
|
|
{{ post.body|richtext }}
|
|
{% endwith %}
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
When you start writing more customized Wagtail code, you'll find a whole set of QuerySet
|
|
modifiers to help you navigate the hierarchy.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
# Given a page object 'somepage':
|
|
MyModel.objects.descendant_of(somepage)
|
|
child_of(page) / not_child_of(somepage)
|
|
ancestor_of(somepage) / not_ancestor_of(somepage)
|
|
parent_of(somepage) / not_parent_of(somepage)
|
|
sibling_of(somepage) / not_sibling_of(somepage)
|
|
# ... and ...
|
|
somepage.get_children()
|
|
somepage.get_ancestors()
|
|
somepage.get_descendants()
|
|
somepage.get_siblings()
|
|
|
|
For more information, see: :doc:`../reference/pages/queryset_reference`
|
|
|
|
Overriding Context
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
There are a couple of problems with our blog index view:
|
|
|
|
1) Blogs generally display content in *reverse* chronological order
|
|
2) We want to make sure we're only displaying *published* content.
|
|
|
|
To accomplish these things, we need to do more than just grab the index
|
|
page's children in the template. Instead, we'll want to modify the
|
|
QuerySet in the model definition. Wagtail makes this possible via
|
|
the overridable ``get_context()`` method. Modify your ``BlogIndexPage``
|
|
model like this:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
class BlogIndexPage(Page):
|
|
intro = RichTextField(blank=True)
|
|
|
|
def get_context(self, request):
|
|
# Update context to include only published posts, ordered by reverse-chron
|
|
context = super(BlogIndexPage, self).get_context(request)
|
|
blogpages = self.get_children().live().order_by('-first_published_at')
|
|
context['blogpages'] = blogpages
|
|
return context
|
|
|
|
All we've done here is retrieve the original context, create a custom queryset,
|
|
add it to the retrieved context, and return the modified context back to the view.
|
|
You'll also need to modify your ``blog_index_page.html`` template slightly.
|
|
Change:
|
|
|
|
``{% for post in page.get_children %}`` to ``{% for post in blogpages %}``
|
|
|
|
Now try unpublishing one of your posts - it should disappear from the blog index
|
|
page. The remaining posts should now be sorted with the most recently modified
|
|
posts first.
|
|
|
|
Images
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Let's add the ability to attach an image gallery to our blog posts. While it's possible to simply insert images into the ``body`` rich text field, there are several advantages to setting up our gallery images as a new dedicated object type within the database - this way, you have full control of the layout and styling of the images on the template, rather than having to lay them out in a particular way within the rich text field. It also makes it possible for the images to be used elsewhere, independently of the blog text - for example, displaying a thumbnail on the blog index page.
|
|
|
|
Add a new ``BlogPageGalleryImage`` model to ``models.py``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from django.db import models
|
|
|
|
# New imports added for ParentalKey, Orderable, InlinePanel, ImageChooserPanel
|
|
|
|
from modelcluster.fields import ParentalKey
|
|
|
|
from wagtail.wagtailcore.models import Page, Orderable
|
|
from wagtail.wagtailcore.fields import RichTextField
|
|
from wagtail.wagtailadmin.edit_handlers import FieldPanel, InlinePanel
|
|
from wagtail.wagtailimages.edit_handlers import ImageChooserPanel
|
|
from wagtail.wagtailsearch import index
|
|
|
|
|
|
# ... (Keep the definition of BlogIndexPage, and update BlogPage:)
|
|
|
|
|
|
class BlogPage(Page):
|
|
date = models.DateField("Post date")
|
|
intro = models.CharField(max_length=250)
|
|
body = RichTextField(blank=True)
|
|
|
|
search_fields = Page.search_fields + [
|
|
index.SearchField('intro'),
|
|
index.SearchField('body'),
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
|
|
FieldPanel('date'),
|
|
FieldPanel('intro'),
|
|
FieldPanel('body', classname="full"),
|
|
InlinePanel('gallery_images', label="Gallery images"),
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
|
|
class BlogPageGalleryImage(Orderable):
|
|
page = ParentalKey(BlogPage, related_name='gallery_images')
|
|
image = models.ForeignKey(
|
|
'wagtailimages.Image', on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='+'
|
|
)
|
|
caption = models.CharField(blank=True, max_length=250)
|
|
|
|
panels = [
|
|
ImageChooserPanel('image'),
|
|
FieldPanel('caption'),
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run ``python manage.py makemigrations`` and ``python manage.py migrate``.
|
|
|
|
There are a few new concepts here, so let's take them one at a time:
|
|
|
|
Inheriting from ``Orderable`` adds a ``sort_order`` field to the model, to keep track of the ordering of images in the gallery.
|
|
|
|
The ``ParentalKey`` to ``BlogPage`` is what attaches the gallery images to a specific page. A ``ParentalKey`` works similarly to a ``ForeignKey``, but also defines ``BlogPageGalleryImage`` as a "child" of the ``BlogPage`` model, so that it's treated as a fundamental part of the page in operations like submitting for moderation, and tracking revision history.
|
|
|
|
``image`` is a ``ForeignKey`` to Wagtail's built-in ``Image`` model, where the images themselves are stored. This comes with a dedicated panel type, ``ImageChooserPanel``, which provides a pop-up interface for choosing an existing image or uploading a new one. This way, we allow an image to exist in multiple galleries - effectively, we've created a many-to-many relationship between pages and images.
|
|
|
|
Specifying ``on_delete=models.CASCADE`` on the foreign key means that if the image is deleted from the system, the gallery entry is deleted as well. (In other situations, it might be appropriate to leave the entry in place - for example, if an "our staff" page included a list of people with headshots, and one of those photos was deleted, we'd rather leave the person in place on the page without a photo. In this case, we'd set the foreign key to ``blank=True, null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL``.)
|
|
|
|
Finally, adding the ``InlinePanel`` to ``BlogPage.content_panels`` makes the gallery images available on the editing interface for ``BlogPage``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Adjust your blog page template to include the images:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: html+django
|
|
|
|
{% extends "base.html" %}
|
|
|
|
{% load wagtailcore_tags wagtailimages_tags %}
|
|
|
|
{% block body_class %}template-blogpage{% endblock %}
|
|
|
|
{% block content %}
|
|
<h1>{{ page.title }}</h1>
|
|
<p class="meta">{{ page.date }}</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="intro">{{ page.intro }}</div>
|
|
|
|
{{ page.body|richtext }}
|
|
|
|
{% for item in page.gallery_images.all %}
|
|
<div style="float: left; margin: 10px">
|
|
{% image item.image fill-320x240 %}
|
|
<p>{{ item.caption }}</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
<p><a href="{{ page.get_parent.url }}">Return to blog</a></p>
|
|
|
|
{% endblock %}
|
|
|
|
Here we use the ``{% image %}`` tag (which exists in the ``wagtailimages_tags`` library, imported at the top of the template) to insert an ``<img>`` element, with a ``fill-320x240`` parameter to indicate that the image should be resized and cropped to fill a 320x240 rectangle. You can read more about using images in templates in the :doc:`docs <../topics/images>`.

|
|
:alt: A blog post sample
|
|
|
|
Since our gallery images are database objects in their own right, we can now query and re-use them independently of the blog post body. Let's define a ``main_image`` method, which returns the image from the first gallery item (or ``None`` if no gallery items exist):
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
class BlogPage(Page):
|
|
date = models.DateField("Post date")
|
|
intro = models.CharField(max_length=250)
|
|
body = RichTextField(blank=True)
|
|
|
|
def main_image(self):
|
|
gallery_item = self.gallery_images.first()
|
|
if gallery_item:
|
|
return gallery_item.image
|
|

Tagging Posts
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Let's say we want to let editors "tag" their posts, so that readers can, e.g.,
|
|
view all bicycle-related content together. For this, we'll need to invoke
|
|
the tagging system bundled with Wagtail, attach it to the ``BlogPage``
|
|
model and content panels, and render linked tags on the blog post template.
|
|
Of course, we'll need a working tag-specific URL view as well.
|
|
|
|
First, alter ``models.py`` once more:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from django.db import models
|
|
|
|
# New imports added for ClusterTaggableManager, TaggedItemBase, MultiFieldPanel
|
|
|
|
from modelcluster.fields import ParentalKey
|
|
from modelcluster.tags import ClusterTaggableManager
|
|
from taggit.models import TaggedItemBase
|
|
|
|
from wagtail.wagtailcore.models import Page, Orderable
|
|
from wagtail.wagtailcore.fields import RichTextField
|
|
from wagtail.wagtailadmin.edit_handlers import FieldPanel, InlinePanel, MultiFieldPanel
|
|
from wagtail.wagtailimages.edit_handlers import ImageChooserPanel
|
|
from wagtail.wagtailsearch import index
|
|
|
|
|
|
# ... (Keep the definition of BlogIndexPage)
|
|
|
|
|
|
class BlogPageTag(TaggedItemBase):
|
|
content_object = ParentalKey('BlogPage', related_name='tagged_items')
|
|
|
|
|
|
class BlogPage(Page):
|
|
date = models.DateField("Post date")
|
|
intro = models.CharField(max_length=250)
|
|
body = RichTextField(blank=True)
|
|
tags = ClusterTaggableManager(through=BlogPageTag, blank=True)
|
|
|
|
# ... (Keep the main_image method and search_fields definition)
|
|
|
|
content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
|
|
MultiFieldPanel([
|
|
FieldPanel('date'),
|
|
FieldPanel('tags'),
|
|
], heading="Blog information"),
|
|
FieldPanel('intro'),
|
|
FieldPanel('body'),
|
|
InlinePanel('gallery_images', label="Gallery images"),
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run ``python manage.py makemigrations`` and ``python manage.py migrate``.
|
|
|
|
Note the new ``modelcluster`` and ``taggit`` imports, the addition of a new
|
|
``BlogPageTag`` model, and the addition of a ``tags`` field on ``BlogPage``.
|
|
We've also taken the opportunity to use a ``MultiFieldPanel`` in ``content_panels``
|
|
to group the date and tags fields together for readability.
|
|
|
|
Edit one of your ``BlogPage`` instances, and you should now be able to tag posts:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../_static/images/tutorial/tutorial_8.png
|
|
:alt: Tagging a post
|
|
|
|
To render tags on a ``BlogPage``, add this to ``blog_page.html``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: html+django
|
|
|
|
{% if page.tags.all.count %}
|
|
<div class="tags">
|
|
<h3>Tags</h3>
|
|
{% for tag in page.tags.all %}
|
|
<a href="{% slugurl 'tags' %}?tag={{ tag }}"><button type="button">{{ tag }}</button></a>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
</div>
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
Notice that we're linking to pages here with the builtin ``slugurl``
|
|
tag rather than ``pageurl``, which we used earlier. The difference is that ``slugurl`` takes a
|
|
Page slug (from the Promote tab) as an argument. ``pageurl`` is more commonly used because it
|
|
is unambiguous and avoids extra database lookups. But in the case of this loop, the Page object
|
|
isn't readily available, so we fall back on the less-preferred ``slugurl`` tag.
|
|
|
|
Visiting a blog post with tags should now show a set of linked
|
|
buttons at the bottom - one for each tag. However, clicking a button
|
|
will get you a 404, since we haven't yet defined a "tags" view. Add to ``models.py``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
class BlogTagIndexPage(Page):
|
|
|
|
def get_context(self, request):
|
|
|
|
# Filter by tag
|
|
tag = request.GET.get('tag')
|
|
blogpages = BlogPage.objects.filter(tags__name=tag)
|
|
|
|
# Update template context
|
|
context = super(BlogTagIndexPage, self).get_context(request)
|
|
context['blogpages'] = blogpages
|
|
return context
|
|
|
|
Note that this Page-based model defines no fields of its own.
|
|
Even without fields, subclassing ``Page`` makes it a part of the
|
|
Wagtail ecosystem, so that you can give it a title and URL in the
|
|
admin, and so that you can manipulate its contents by returning
|
|
a queryset from its ``get_context()`` method.
|
|
|
|
Migrate this in, then create a new ``BlogTagIndexPage`` in the admin.
|
|
You'll probably want to create the new page/view under Homepage,
|
|
parallel to your Blog index. Give it the slug "tags" on the Promote tab.
|
|
|
|
Access ``/tags`` and Django will tell you what you probably already knew:
|
|
you need to create a template ``blog/blog_tag_index_page.html``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: html+django
|
|
|
|
{% extends "base.html" %}
|
|
{% load wagtailcore_tags %}
|
|
|
|
{% block content %}
|
|
|
|
{% if request.GET.tag|length %}
|
|
<h4>Showing pages tagged "{{ request.GET.tag }}"</h4>
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
{% for blogpage in blogpages %}
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong><a href="{% pageurl blogpage %}">{{ blogpage.title }}</a></strong><br />
|
|
<small>Revised: {{ blogpage.latest_revision_created_at }}</small><br />
|
|
{% if blogpage.author %}
|
|
<p>By {{ blogpage.author.profile }}</p>
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
{% empty %}
|
|
No pages found with that tag.
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
|
|
{% endblock %}
|
|
|
|
We're calling the built-in ``latest_revision_created_at`` field on the ``Page``
|
|
model - handy to know this is always available.
|
|
|
|
We haven't yet added an "author" field to our ``BlogPage`` model, nor do we have
|
|
a Profile model for authors - we'll leave those as an exercise for the reader.
|
|
|
|
Clicking the tag button at the bottom of a BlogPost should now render a page
|
|
something like this:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../_static/images/tutorial/tutorial_9.png
|
|

Categories
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Let's add a category system to our blog. Unlike tags, where a page author can bring a tag into existence simply by using it on a page, our categories will be a fixed list, managed by the site owner through a separate area of the admin interface.
|
|
|
|
First, we define a ``BlogCategory`` model. A category is not a page in its own right, and so we define it as a standard Django ``models.Model`` rather than inheriting from ``Page``. Wagtail introduces the concept of "snippets" for reusable pieces of content that need to be managed through the admin interface, but do not exist as part of the page tree themselves; a model can be registered as a snippet by adding the ``@register_snippet`` decorator. All the field types we've used so far on pages can be used on snippets too - here we'll give each category an icon image as well as a name. Add to ``blog/models.py``:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from wagtail.wagtailsnippets.models import register_snippet
|
|
|
|
|
|
@register_snippet
|
|
class BlogCategory(models.Model):
|
|
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
|
|
icon = models.ForeignKey(
|
|
'wagtailimages.Image', null=True, blank=True,
|
|
on_delete=models.SET_NULL, related_name='+'
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
panels = [
|
|
FieldPanel('name'),
|
|
ImageChooserPanel('icon'),
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
def __str__(self):
|
|
return self.name
|
|
|
|
class Meta:
|
|
verbose_name_plural = 'blog categories'
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Note that we are using ``panels`` rather than ``content_panels`` here - since snippets generally have no need for fields such as slug or publish date, the editing interface for them is not split into separate 'content' / 'promote' / 'settings' tabs as standard, and so there is no need to distinguish between 'content panels' and 'promote panels'.
|
|
|
|
Migrate this change in, and create a few categories through the Snippets area which now appears in the admin menu.
|
|
|
|
We can now add categories to the ``BlogPage`` model, as a many-to-many field. The field type we use for this is ``ParentalManyToManyField`` - this is a variant of the standard Django ``ManyToManyField`` which ensures that the chosen objects are correctly stored against the page record in the revision history, in much the same way that ``ParentalKey`` replaces ``ForeignKey`` for one-to-many relations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
# New imports added for forms and ParentalManyToManyField
|
|
from django import forms
|
|
from django.db import models
|
|
|
|
from modelcluster.fields import ParentalKey, ParentalManyToManyField
|
|
from modelcluster.tags import ClusterTaggableManager
|
|
from taggit.models import TaggedItemBase
|
|
|
|
# ...
|
|
|
|
class BlogPage(Page):
|
|
date = models.DateField("Post date")
|
|
intro = models.CharField(max_length=250)
|
|
body = RichTextField(blank=True)
|
|
tags = ClusterTaggableManager(through=BlogPageTag, blank=True)
|
|
categories = ParentalManyToManyField('blog.BlogCategory', blank=True)
|
|
|
|
# ... (Keep the main_image method and search_fields definition)
|
|
|
|
content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
|
|
MultiFieldPanel([
|
|
FieldPanel('date'),
|
|
FieldPanel('tags'),
|
|
FieldPanel('categories', widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple),
|
|
], heading="Blog information"),
|
|
FieldPanel('intro'),
|
|
FieldPanel('body'),
|
|
InlinePanel('gallery_images', label="Gallery images"),
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here we're making use of the ``widget`` keyword argument on the ``FieldPanel`` definition to specify a checkbox-based widget instead of the default multiple select box, as this is often considered more user-friendly.
|
|
|
|
Finally, we can update the ``blog_page.html`` template to display the categories:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: html+django
|
|
|
|
<h1>{{ page.title }}</h1>
|
|
<p class="meta">{{ page.date }}</p>
|
|
|
|
{% with categories=page.categories.all %}
|
|
{% if categories %}
|
|
<h3>Posted in:</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
{% for category in categories %}
|
|
<li style="display: inline">
|
|
{% image category.icon fill-32x32 style="vertical-align: middle" %}
|
|
{{ category.name }}
|
|
</li>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
</ul>
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
{% endwith %}
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../_static/images/tutorial/tutorial_10.jpg
