[mezzanine-users] Re: new release?

2015-04-29 Thread Graham Oliver
Hi Gavin
My understanding is that it is done on a best-efforts basis, so the short 
answer to your question is 'no'.
Cheers

 In django-cms only is this done:

 {% block contentleft %}
 {% placeholder content2 %}
 {% endblock contentleft %}

 I tried it with what is on the mezzanine documentation but have not
 managed to implement it and get it right.

Also, you can take a look at the issues marked as release blocker in 
the issue tracker to get a sense of what is actually keeping the next 
release from happening.

Re: [mezzanine-users] Some newbie questions for someone moving from WP to mezzanine

2015-04-29 Thread Graham

Hi Brandon
Helping Mezzanine become novice friendly would be great I think.
There are 3 articles written by Ross Laird that I have consistently 
found really useful...


1. http://www.rosslaird.com/blog/first-steps-with-mezzanine/
2. http://www.rosslaird.com/blog/building-a-project-with-mezzanine/
3. http://www.rosslaird.com/blog/customizing-mezzanine/

In terms of why Mezzanine is designed the way it is, well that is a big 
question.  I have listened to this video 
http://blog.jupo.org/2014/08/21/pycon-apac-keynote-mezzanine/ a few 
times where Stephen McDonald talks about Mezzanine. It could be useful 
to give you a background as to where Mezzanine came from. I have heard 
that Vimeo may not be super accessible. Let me know if you have problems 
accessing the video...


Take Care

Hello,
I have been looking around the web, comparing different python CMSes 
with Mezzanine and I keep coming back here. I am wondering why 
mezzanine does not implement functionality for non developers to use 
it out of the box?
So for example, I have my website on wordPress and would like to 
migrate it to mezzanine. I know python, but not django. In order for 
me to move my site to mezzanine and make it look like I want, I need 
to both modify the CSS file, the template files, learn django so I can 
display some variables that I have on my front-page and figure out how 
to deploy mezzanine on a server.
After I get my website up and running I want to learn django and start 
building apps.
Granted, mezzanine has a much easier entry than any other python CMS I 
found, but I think it could and should be a little easier. After all, 
there is a huge audience of people who know basic python and would 
really like to use a python CMS, but don't want to learn django or a 
complex templating language to create a good looking website.
For example, why does it take 5 commands to run? (granted 5 is really 
good as most other places take 10+), but mezzanine-project myproject 
could totally make the db, setup the user and ask if you would like to 
run the server. (possibly a -s or -b could setup the server for 
server-side development and -b could set the folder like it is now).
I have not yet deployed it on a server yet, so can't say how difficult 
it is, but it would be really awesome if mezzanine either did what 
wordPress.com does or give a really easy (no more than 10 step) 
tutorial on how to install mezzanine on something like Python Anywhere.
Also, why does mezzanine not have a content folder with subfolders of 
plugins, themes, apps and the default templates? I think it would be 
super easy to make and would promote well-organized site structure.


I know that mezzanine is built for developers, but so is python. I 
think that mezzanine could totally remain super developer friendly 
while also being non programmer and basic python programmer friendly.


These are just a few thoughts from someone who is just coming into 
mezzanine never having developed for the web in python before. (Other 
than brython :)). I really would like to tell people to use mezzanine 
rather than wordPress because learning how to script in python is just 
so much easier than learning how to script in PHP, but currently it is 
too complex.
I am learning django and hopefully I can either make a separate CMS 
based off mezzanine or help mezzanine to become novice friendly.

Thanks,

Hi Brandon, hopefully the following are helpful answers!

 1. Title + the publishing controls are present across all things
that inherit from the Displayable class where as the type of
content on those various models will vary from class to class. 
Blog Posts have categories and content, Rich Text Pages just have

content, Links have no content, etc... All the admin classes of
those models inherit from Displayable so they end up all having
those things grouped.  Besides the technical reasons I think the
consistency is useful and I find it nice to always be able to
have the publishing controls right there.
 2. The editor is a WYSIWYG, particularly one called TinyMCE.  Here's
what they have to say about accessibility,
http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/TinyMCE3x:Accessibility, but
maybe some or all of that isn't working?
You can change what is used though, for example in your project's
settings.py file you could put:
RICHTEXT_WIDGET_CLASS = forms.Textarea
Doing that should get rid of the WYSIWYG and those types of
fields should just show up as normal HMTL textareas. That would
affect any admin user, not just yourself.
 3. There isn't anything like that built in, there might be other
projects that do things like that for Django that you could
integrate with Mezzanine.
 4. I don't think we have considered Brython but it should be easy to
integrate any front 

Re: [mezzanine-users] I need to put editable sections in my home page.

2015-04-29 Thread Stephen McDonald
You have a couple of problems:

1) The homepage isn't managed by a page object by default, as to the why
and how to get that working, see here:
http://mezzanine.jupo.org/docs/frequently-asked-questions.html#why-isn-t-the-homepage-a-page-object-i-can-edit-via-the-admin

2) You've misunderstood the way the editable tags work - in your example
you've hard-coded the text Clean, Crisp, Powerful and Responsive Web
Design rather than using the model field that will be edited. If you read
the docs carefully you'll see how this works:

 Hi Ronald, if page is a mezzanine page, it doesn't have any content.  The
 content would be added by a subclass, for example RichTextPage.  Take a
 look at the RichTextPage template for a good example:
