A Django application for creating news releases which can be associated with unique newsroom objects.
A Django CMS apphook is included as well as a templatetag for rendering news release headlines in non-application templates.
Add newscenter to your python path:
$ pip install newscenter
Add the following to the INSTALLED_APPS of your project's settings.py:
'newscenter',
- In your urls.py, add:
url(r'^newscenter/', include('newscenter.urls')),
Run:
manage.py migrate
Collect static media:
manage.py collectstatic
The following will be installed automatically if you use pip to install newscenter:
Pillow (http://python-pillow.github.io/)
easy-thumbnails (https://github.com/SmileyChris/easy-thumbnails)
feedparser (http://pythonhosted.org/feedparser/)
django-el-pagination (https://django-el-pagination.readthedocs.io/en/latest/start.html)
- For easy-thumbnails, you'll also need to add it to INSTALLED_APPS and run migrate:
'easy_thumbnails',
- For django-el-pagination, you'll also need to add it to INSTALLED_APPS:
'el_pagination',
- You will also need to update your context_processors with:
'django.template.context_processors.request',
NB: don't forget to delete any 'endless_pagination' from INSTALLED_APPS in the settings.py file.
The template tag can be used like this:
{% load newscenter_tags %}
{% get_news "newsroom-name" %}
<h1><a href="{{ newsroom.get_absolute_url }}">{{ newsroom.name }}</a></h1>
{% for release in featured_list %}
<article>
<h2>{{ release.title }}</h2>
<p class="teaser">{{ release.teaser }}</p>
<p><a href="{{ release.get_absolute_url }}">Read more</a></p>
</article>
{% endfor %}3.0.1:
