Fancypages provides an easy way to edit content in your Django project.
Another content management system, you ask? No it is not! Rather, it is a content enhancement system (CEnS) because it provides a user with the controlled ability to edit content on a page.
The way this Django app works is inspired by django-frontend-admin, django-content-blocks and other similar apps. Especially, the use of template tags to define customisable sections in a Django template is based on the ideas in the two apps mentioned above.
Warning: There's currently an issue with django-model-utils 2.0+ and Django 1.5.5. Until this is resolved, we advise to use version 1.5 with that specific version of Django.
Fancypages has originally been developed to extend the functionality of `django-oscar`_ by giving a the client limited control over content editing and complement the Oscar dashboard. The need of other (non-Oscar) projects for a similiar content editing funtionality lead to the separation of `django-oscar-fancypages`_ into a separate app.
After several months of experience with maintaining both apps separately, we've
made the decision to maintain the Oscar integration as part of fancypages
available in fancypages.contrib.oscar_fancypages. This should make it
easier to maintain both code bases and provide better integration for both.
Note: `django-oscar-fancypages`_ is now deprectated and will no longer receive feature updates.
