Django Simple Links

A pluggable application for adding a list of links (like a blogroll) to your Django project.

Installing

You can install the app through pip:

pip install django-simple-links

After that, add simples_links to INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'simple_links',
    ...
)

Finally, run syncdb/migrate to add tables to the database.

Usage

• Admin interface: Add a category called "blogroll" and a few links within this category.
• In your template: Load link_list and call {% get_link_list "blogroll" as links, category %}.

blogroll turns to be the category slug, links and category are variables that will keep those information you've added through Admin interface:

{% load link_list %}

{% get_link_list "blogroll" as links, category %}

{% if links %}
    <div class="module">
        <h3 class="title">{{ category.title }}</h3>
        <ul>
            {% for link in links %}
                <li>
                    <a href="{{ link.href }}"
                        title="{{ link.description }}">{{ link.title }}</a>
                </li>
            {% endfor %}
        </ul>
    </div>
{% endif %}

That's all!
