WYSIWYG form editor/creator django app

Primary LanguageJavaScriptMIT LicenseMIT

This project isn't ready yet!

One day it will:

  • Provide an {% include %}-able template that embeds a WYSIWYG form builder and editor.

  • Send the form back to your Django app as JSON.

  • Turn that JSON in to a Django form class!

You will need to:

  • Run the following commands, where $YOUR_DJANGO_MEDIA_ROOT is the path to your Django MEDIA_ROOT, as defined in settings.py:

      $ git clone git://github.com/fitzgen/django-wysiwyg-forms.git
  $ cd django-wysiwyg-forms
  $ sudo python setup.py install
  $ cp wysiwyg_forms/media $YOUR_DJANGO_MEDIA_ROOT/wysiwyg_forms

  • Add "wysiwyg_forms" to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.

  • In one of your templates, insert:

      {% with wysiwyg_forms_postback as some_url %}
      {% include "wysiwyg_forms/editor.html" %}
  {% endwith %}

  • Have a strategy to save the form's JSON yourself, if you want it to persist. (I recommend CouchDB, MongoDB, or another JSON document store).
