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
• Currently requires the Django Sites framework

Setup

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>
