5.7.6.1. 'content'¶
Default: 60
Cache expiration (in seconds) for :ttag:`show_placeholder` and :ttag:`page_url` template tags.
Note
This settings was previously called :setting:`CMS_CONTENT_CACHE_DURATION`
The django CMS has a lot of settings you can use to customize your installation of the CMS to be exactly like you want it to be.
Default: () (Not a valid setting!)
A list of templates you can select for a page.
Example:
CMS_TEMPLATES = (
('base.html', gettext('default')),
('2col.html', gettext('2 Column')),
('3col.html', gettext('3 Column')),
('extra.html', gettext('Some extra fancy template')),
)
Note
All templates defined in :setting:`CMS_TEMPLATES` must contain at least the js and css sekizai namespaces, for more information, see Static files handling with sekizai.
Default: True
Optional Enables the inheritance of templates from parent pages.
If this is enabled, pages have the additional template option to inherit their template from the nearest ancestor. New pages default to this setting if the new page is not a root page.
Default: {} Optional
Used to configure placeholders. If not given, all plugins are available in all placeholders.
Example:
CMS_PLACEHOLDER_CONF = {
'content': {
'plugins': ('TextPlugin', 'PicturePlugin'),
'text_only_plugins': ('LinkPlugin',)
'extra_context': {"width":640},
'name':gettext("Content"),
},
'right-column': {
"plugins": ('TeaserPlugin', 'LinkPlugin'),
"extra_context": {"width":280},
'name':gettext("Right Column"),
'limits': {
'global': 2,
'TeaserPlugin': 1,
'LinkPlugin': 1,
},
},
'base.html content': {
"plugins": {'TextPlugin', 'PicturePlugin', 'TeaserPlugin'}
},
}
You can combine template names and placeholder names to granually define plugins, as shown above with ‘’base.html content’‘.
plugins
A list of plugins that can be added to this placeholder. If not supplied, all plugins can be selected.
text_only_plugins
A list of additional plugins available only in the TextPlugin, these plugins can’t be added directly to this placeholder.
extra_context
Extra context that plugins in this placeholder receive.
name
The name displayed in the Django admin. With the gettext stub, the name can be internationalized.
limits
Limit the number of plugins that can be placed inside this placeholder. Dictionary keys are plugin names; values are their respective limits. Special case: “global” - Limit the absolute number of plugins in this placeholder regardless of type (takes precedence over the type-specific limits).
Default: []
A list of plugin context processors. Plugin context processors are callables that modify all plugin’s context before rendering. See Custom Plugins for more information.
Default: []
A list of plugin processors. Plugin processors are callables that modify all plugin’s output after rendering. See Custom Plugins for more information.
Default: ()
A list of import paths for cms.app_base.CMSApp subclasses.
Defaults to an empty list which means CMS applications are auto-discovered in all :setting:`django:INSTALLED_APPS` by trying to import their cms_app module.
If this setting is set, the auto-discovery is disabled.
Example:
CMS_APPHOOKS = (
'myapp.cms_app.MyApp',
'otherapp.cms_app.MyFancyApp',
'sampleapp.cms_app.SampleApp',
)
Default: True
If set to False, frontend editing is not available for models using cms.models.fields.PlaceholderField.
The Wymeditor from cms.plugins.text plugin can take the same configuration as vanilla Wymeditor. Therefore you will need to learn how to configure that. The best way to understand this is to head over to Wymeditor examples page After understand how Wymeditor works.
The cms.plugins.text plugin exposes several variables named WYM_* that correspond to the wym configuration. The simplest way to get started with this is to go to cms/plugins/text/settings.py and copy over the WYM_* variables and you will realize they match one to one to Wymeditor’s.
Currently the following variables are available:
Default: True
By default django CMS hides menu items that are not yet translated into the current language. With this setting set to False they will show up anyway.
Default: Value of :setting:`django:LANGUAGES`
Defines the languages available in django CMS.
Example:
CMS_LANGUAGES = (
('fr', gettext('French')),
('de', gettext('German')),
('en', gettext('English')),
)
Note
Make sure you only define languages which are also in :setting:`django:LANGUAGES`.
Default: True
This will redirect the browser to the same page in another language if the page is not available in the current language.
Default: {}
Language fallback ordering for each language.
Example:
CMS_LANGUAGE_CONF = {
'de': ['en', 'fr'],
'en': ['de'],
}
Default: {}
If you have more than one site and :setting:`CMS_LANGUAGES` differs between the sites, you may want to fill this out so if you switch between the sites in the admin you only get the languages available on this site.
Example:
CMS_SITE_LANGUAGES = {
1:['en','de'],
2:['en','fr'],
3:['en'],
}
Default: Value of :setting:`CMS_LANGUAGES`
A list of languages django CMS uses in the frontend. For example, if you decide you want to add a new language to your page but don’t want to show it to the world yet.
Example:
CMS_FRONTEND_LANGUAGES = ("de", "en", "pt-BR")
default: cms/
The path from :setting:`django:MEDIA_ROOT` to the media files located in cms/media/
Default: :setting:`django:MEDIA_ROOT` + :setting:`CMS_MEDIA_PATH`
The path to the media root of the cms media files.
default: :setting:`django:MEDIA_URL` + :setting:`CMS_MEDIA_PATH`
The location of the media files that are located in cms/media/cms/
Default: 'cms_page_media/'
By default, django CMS creates a folder called cms_page_media in your static files folder where all uploaded media files are stored. The media files are stored in subfolders numbered with the id of the page.
You should take care that the directory to which it points is writable by the user under which Django will be running.
Default: True
This adds a new field “url overwrite” to the “advanced settings” tab of your page. With this field you can overwrite the whole relative url of the page.
Default: False
This adds a new “redirect” field to the “advanced settings” tab of the page
You can set a url here, which a visitor will be redirected to when the page is accessed.
Note: Don’t use this too much. django.contrib.redirects is much more flexible, handy, and is designed exactly for this purpose.
Default: False
If this is enabled the slugs are not nested in the urls.
So a page with a “world” slug will have a “/world” url, even it is a child of the “hello” page. If disabled the page would have the url: “/hello/world/”
Default: False
This adds a new “softroot” field to the “advanced settings” tab of the page. If a page is marked as softroot the menu will only display items until it finds the softroot.
If you have a huge site you can easily partition the menu with this.
Default: False
If this is enabled you get 3 new models in Admin:
In the edit-view of the pages you can now assign users to pages and grant them permissions. In the global permissions you can set the permissions for users globally.
If a user has the right to create new users he can now do so in the “Users - page”. But he will only see the users he created. The users he created can also only inherit the rights he has. So if he only has been granted the right to edit a certain page all users he creates can, in turn, only edit this page. Naturally he can limit the rights of the users he creates even further, allowing them to see only a subset of the pages he’s allowed access to, for example.
Default: all
Decides if pages without any view restrictions are public by default, or staff only. Possible values are all and staff.
Default: False
If set to true, gives you a new “moderation” column in the tree view.
You can select to moderate pages or whole trees. If a page is under moderation you will receive an email if somebody changes a page and you will be asked to approve the changes. Only after you approved the changes will they be updated on the “live” site. If you make changes to a page you moderate yourself, you will need to approve it anyway. This allows you to change a lot of pages for a new version of the site, for example, and go live with all the changes at the same time.
Note
When switching this value to True on an existing site, you have to run the cms moderator on command to make the required database changes.
Default: False for both
This adds two new DateTimeField fields in the “advanced settings” tab of the page. With this option you can limit the time a page is published.
Default: False
This adds a new “SEO Fields” fieldset to the page admin. You can set the Page Title, Meta Keywords and Meta Description in there.
To access these fields in the template use:
{% load cms_tags %}
<head>
<title>{% page_attribute page_title %}</title>
<meta name="description" content="{% page_attribute meta_description %}"/>
<meta name="keywords" content="{% page_attribute meta_keywords %}"/>
...
...
</head>
This dictionary carries the various cache duration settings.
Default: 60
Cache expiration (in seconds) for :ttag:`show_placeholder` and :ttag:`page_url` template tags.
Note
This settings was previously called :setting:`CMS_CONTENT_CACHE_DURATION`
Default: cms-
The CMS will prepend the value associated with this key to every cache access (set and get). This is useful when you have several django CMS installations, and you don’t want them to share cache objects.
Example:
CMS_CACHE_PREFIX = 'mysite-live'
Note
Django 1.3 introduced a site-wide cache key prefix. See Django’s own docs on cache key prefixing
