from django.db import models
from wagtail.admin.edit_handlers import FieldPanel
from wagtail.core.fields import RichTextField
from wagtail.core.models import Page
from wagtailnews.models import NewsIndexMixin, AbstractNewsItem, AbstractNewsItemRevision
from wagtailnews.decorators import newsindex
# The decorator registers this model as a news index
@newsindex
class NewsIndex(NewsIndexMixin, Page):
# Add extra fields here, as in a normal Wagtail Page class, if required
newsitem_model = 'NewsItem'
class NewsItem(AbstractNewsItem):
# NewsItem is a normal Django model, *not* a Wagtail Page.
# Add any fields required for your page.
# It already has ``date`` field, and a link to its parent ``NewsIndex`` Page
title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
body = RichTextField()
panels = [
FieldPanel('title', classname='full title'),
FieldPanel('body', classname='full'),
] + AbstractNewsItem.panels
def __str__(self):
return self.title
class NewsItemRevision(AbstractNewsItemRevision):
newsitem = models.ForeignKey(NewsItem, related_name='revisions', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
