Description:

aldrynaddons 2.1.0

Aldryn Addons are re-usable django apps that follow certain conventions to
abstract out complicated configuration from the individual django website
project into upgradable packages. With this approach it is possible
to avoid repetitive “add this to INSTALLED_APPS and that to
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES and add these to urls.py” work. The settings logic
is bundled with the addon and only interesting “meta” settings are exposed.
It is a framework to utilise such addons in django projects.
The goal is to keep the footprint inside the django website project as small
as possible, so updating things usually just mean bumping a version in
requirements.txt and no other changes in the project.
This addon still uses the legacy “Aldryn” naming. You can read more about this in our
support section.

Documentation
See REQUIREMENTS in the setup.py
file for additional dependencies:

Installation
aldryn-addons is part of the Divio Cloud platform.
For a manual install:
Add aldryn-addons to your projects requirements.txt or pip install it.
It is also highly recommended to install aldryn-django. This is django
itself bundled as an addon:
pip install aldryn-addons aldryn-django==1.6.11
At the top if the settings.py add the following code snippet:
INSTALLED_ADDONS = [
'aldryn-django',
]

# add your own settings here that are needed by the installed Addons

import aldryn_addons.settings
aldryn_addons.settings.load(locals())

# add any other custom settings here
Addons can automatically add code to the root urls.py so it’s necessary
to add aldryn_addons.urls.patterns() and
aldryn_addons.urls.i18n_patterns().
The code below is for Django 1.8 and above. For older versions of Django,
please add the prefix parameter to i18n_patterns: i18n_patterns('', ...
from django.urls import re_path, include
from django.conf.urls.i18n import i18n_patterns
import aldryn_addons.urls

urlpatterns = [
# add your own patterns here
] + aldryn_addons.urls.patterns() + i18n_patterns(
# add your own i18n patterns here
re_path(r'^myapp/', include('myapp.urls')),
*aldryn_addons.urls.i18n_patterns() # MUST be the last entry!
)
Please follow the installation instructions for aldryn-django for complete
integration. Then follow the setup instructions for aldryn-django-cms
for the examples below.

Adding Addons
In this example we’re going to install django CMS Link,
which requires Aldryn django CMS.
pip install the Addon:
pip install djangocms-link
Add it to INSTALLED_ADDONS in settings.py:
INSTALLED_ADDONS = [
'aldryn-django',
'aldryn-cms',
'djangocms-link',
]
Copy aldryn_config.py and addon.json from the addon into the addons
directory within your project (addons/djangocms-link/aldryn_config.py and
addons/djangocms-link/addon.json). If aldryn_config.py defines any
settings on the settings Form, put them in
addons/djangocms-link/settings.json, if not put {} into it.

Note
The need to manually copy aldryn_config.py and addon.json is
due to legacy compatibility with the Divio Cloud platform and will no
longer be necessary in a later release.

Note
Future versions will include a little webserver with a graphical UI
to edit the settings in settings.json, much like it is provided
on the Divio Cloud platform.

You are all set. The code in aldryn_config.py will take care of configuring
the addon.

Running Tests
You can run tests by executing:
virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r tests/requirements.txt
python setup.py test
