A Django-CMS plugin using the Parallax-ImageScroll jQuery plugin by Peder Andreas Nielsen, to achieve a simple parallax effect, very similar to the one utilised by Spotify.
Install latest development version from GitHub:
$ pip install git+https://github.com/ovidner/djangocms-parallax.git#egg=djangocms_parallax
Add djangocms_parallax to your INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...,
'djangocms_parallax',
)
Migrate your database:
./manage.py migrate djangocms_parallax
Add a Parallax plugin to a (preferably empty) placeholder and add a few ParallaxImage and ParallaxContent plugins inside.
You probably want to style the elements with some custom CSS. The plugin plays well with Bootstrap, see extras/parallax.less directory for a LESS file you can customize and import in your Bootstrap setup.
The included Parallax-ImageScroll and Modernizr files are covered by their respective licenses.
