Yet another CMS ?
------------------------------------

#. Coop-cms is built around Articles. It defines a basic abstract model so you can define your own model.
#. It has a website tree in a nice admin widget, to let you order Articles and *any other standard django model* you've defined in your project.
#. Based on the tree, you get templatetags for menu navigation, siblings links, breadcrumb, etc

Coop-cms has some sister apps to make it more usable:

* `coop_bar <https://github.com/ljean/coop-bar/>`_, an extensible toolbar (same concept : any app you create can add links in the toolbar).
* `coop_html_editor <https://github.com/ljean/coop_html_editor/>`_, integration of in-site html editors._
* `colorbox <https://github.com/ljean/coop-colorbox/>`_, make easy integration of jquery colorbox library.

Base template
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You need to create a base template ``base.html`` in one of your template folders. The ``article.html`` will inherit from this base template.

You need the following templatetags libs::

    {% load coop_navigation coop_bar_tags %}

In the <head> of the document::

    {% coop_bar_headers %}
    {% block jquery_declaration %}{% endblock %}
    {% block extra_head %}{% endblock %}

In the <body> of the document::

    {% block document %}...{% endblock %}
    {% coop_bar %}

Just before </body> at the end of the document::

    {% coop_bar_footer %}

You can also put some navigations in the <body>::

    {% navigation_as_nested_ul %}

The navigation_as_nested_ul templatetag accepts several args
 * tree="english" --> The name of the navigation_tree to use. "default" if missing
 * li_template="dropdown_li.html" --> a template for every <li> tags
 * ul_template="dropdown_ul.html" --> a template for every <ul> tags
 * li_args="dropdown_li_class.html" --> args to be used for any <li> tags

There are others templatetags for navigation : ``navigation_breadcrumb``, ``navigation_children``, ``navigation_siblings`` with similar behavior

Navigation configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't forget to register the navigable types. In order to be accessible from the navigation, Model classes must be registered.
 * In the django admin, go to coop_cms - Navigable types
 * Add a new object and choose the model class you want to make accessible in navigation
 * Define how to get the label in navigation for a given object : use the __unicode__, use the search field or use a custom get_label method
 * If search_field is choosed, define the name of this field.
 * The search field make possible to define which field to use when the navigation tree ask for matching objects.

 * Then Go to a Navigation object in admin, the admin page propose to configure it thanks to a tree view
 * Type some text in the text field at the top
 * The field autocomplete propose all the objects of a NavigableType matching the text you entered
 * Select one object and click 'Add a new item'
 * The object is now part of the current navigation


Going further
-------------

You can look at the demo_app in apps folder to see how to customize the behavior of coop_cms:
 * Editable "pieces of HTML" in your page : A editable block that can be shared by several pages.
 * Custom templates for articles and newsletters
 * Custom fields in article
 * Custom admin bar
 * Configuration values
 
Internationalization
--------------------

If you want to make an international site, coop_cms works well with `django-modeltranslation`.

We recommend to remove `django-modeltranslation` from the apps when making the model migrations


    if not (len(sys.argv) > 1 and sys.argv[1] in ('makemigrations', )):
        INSTALLED_APPS = ('modeltranslation', ) + INSTALLED_APPS

The model migrations wil not take the translation fields into account and it will be easier to add or remove languages
with the following commands

    python manage.py sync_translation_fields --noinput
    python manage.py update_translation_fields
