Documentation

django-content-edit

A very simple way to let users edit content on the front end of a website when you don't quite need a full CMS.

django-content-edit is not a CMS. Use something like django-cms for that. django-content-edit is for when you just need a few editable areas in your templates.

  • Allow designers to insert staff editable content without learning a CMS or Django models
  • Logged in staff can edit content on the frontend with ckeditor inline. Admin view is optional!
  • Content can be reused on the same site with the same name. Content is unique per Site

ScreenShot

Setup

This currently support Django 1.9 and Python 3.5.

  1. pip install django-content-edit
  2. Run python manage.py syncdb --migrate You can run without south's --migrate, but I don't suggest it.
  3. Add 'content_edit', to INSTALLED_APPS
  4. Add url(r'^content_edit/', include('content_edit.urls')), to urls.py
  5. Add these to your templates as needed. Checkout the sample template in content_edit/templates for an example.
{% load content_edit_tags %}
{% load static %}
<script type="text/javascript" src='{% static 'ckeditor/ckeditor.js' %}'></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src='{% static 'jquery/jquery.js' %}'></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src='{% static 'content_edit/content_edit.js' %}'></script>
...
{% cms_content 'any_name_you_want' %}
