  2. Add django_summernote to INSTALLED_APP in settings.py.

     INSTALLED_APPS += ('django_summernote', )
    
  3. Add django_summernote.urls to urls.py.

    • For Django 1.x

      urlpatterns = [
          ...
          url(r'^summernote/', include('django_summernote.urls')),
          ...
      ]
      
    • For Django 2.x

      from django.urls import include
      # ...
      urlpatterns = [
          ...
          path('summernote/', include('django_summernote.urls')),
          ...
      ]
      
  4. Be sure to set proper MEDIA_URL for attachments.

    • The following is an example test code:

      MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
      MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media/')
      
    • When debug option is enabled(DEBUG=True), DO NOT forget to add urlpatterns as shown below:

       from django.conf import settings
       from django.conf.urls.static import static
       
       if settings.DEBUG:
           urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
      
    • Please, read the official document more in detail: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/files/

  5. Run database migration for preparing attachment model.

     python manage.py migrate
    

USAGE

Django admin site

Apply summernote to all TextField in model

In admin.py,

    from django_summernote.admin import SummernoteModelAdmin
    from .models import SomeModel

    # Apply summernote to all TextField in model.
    class SomeModelAdmin(SummernoteModelAdmin):  # instead of ModelAdmin
        summernote_fields = '__all__'

    admin.site.register(SomeModel, SomeModelAdmin)

Apply summernote to not all TextField in model

Although Post model has several TextField, only content field will have SummernoteWidget.

In admin.py,

from django_summernote.admin import SummernoteModelAdmin
from .models import Post

class PostAdmin(SummernoteModelAdmin):
    summernote_fields = ('content',)

admin.site.register(Post, PostAdmin)

Form

In forms,

from django_summernote.widgets import SummernoteWidget, SummernoteInplaceWidget

# Apply summernote to specific fields.
class SomeForm(forms.Form):
    foo = forms.CharField(widget=SummernoteWidget())  # instead of forms.Textarea

# If you don't like <iframe>, then use inplace widget
# Or if you're using django-crispy-forms, please use this.
class AnotherForm(forms.Form):
    bar = forms.CharField(widget=SummernoteInplaceWidget())

And for ModelForm,

class FormFromSomeModel(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = SomeModel
        widgets = {
            'foo': SummernoteWidget(),
            'bar': SummernoteInplaceWidget(),
        }

Last, please don't forget to use safe templatetag while displaying in templates.

{{ foobar|safe }}

    # In this case, you have to load Bootstrap/jQuery stuff by manually.
    # Use this when you're already using Bootstraip/jQuery based themes.
    'iframe': False,

    # You can put custom Summernote settings
    'summernote': {
        # As an example, using Summernote Air-mode

        # Change editor size
        'width': '100%',
        'height': '480',

        },
    },

    # Set custom storage class for attachments.

# Pass additional parameters to Attachment via attributes
class SomeForm(forms.Form):
    foo = forms.CharField(widget=SummernoteWidget(attrs={'data-user-id': 123456, 'data-device': 'iphone'}))
