Configuration
-
Ignore instructions for django-lab-members, the non-django CMS app that this app extends.
-
Install django CMS and start a project, if one doesn't already exist.
-
Unless you use this app as part of djangocms-lab-site or plan to style the app from scratch, you will want to choose the
Use Twitter Bootstrap Theme
option (when runningdjangocms
) and then edit the resultingtemplates/base.html
.-
This will add style that looks like Bootstrap 2. To use Bootstrap 3 styling, remove the following line for the
bootstrap-theme.min.css
stylesheet fromtemplates/base.html
:<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/3.x.x/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css">
-
The default menu settings for django CMS using Bootstrap will allow the user to access specific lab members via a dropdown menu, but will not give easy access to the summary page of all lab member. To fix this do one of the following:
- In
templates/base.html
, change{% show_menu 0 1 100 100 "menu.html" %}
to{% show_menu 0 0 100 100 "menu.html" %}
, or - Use a split button dropdowns by changing that line to {% show_menu 0 100 1 1 '_menu.html' %} and populate _menu.html as done in djangocms-lab-site.
