django CMS Snippet

django CMS Snippet provides a plugin for django CMS to inject HTML, CSS or JavaScript snippets into your website.

This addon is compatible with Divio Cloud and is also available on the django CMS Marketplace for easy installation.

We recommend using this plugin only during development:

This plugin is a potential security hazard, since it allows authorized-
users to place custom markup or Javascript on pages bypassing all of
Django's normal sanitization mechanisms. This could be exploited by users
with the right to add snippets to elevate their privileges to superusers.
This plugin should only be used during the initial development phase for
rapid prototyping and testing.

Documentation

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

Installation

For a manual install:

• run pip install djangocms-snippet
• add djangocms_snippet to your INSTALLED_APPS
• run python manage.py migrate djangocms_snippet

Configuration

To allow the contents of all snippets to be searchable, please set DJANGOCMS_SNIPPET_SEARCH to True in your settings:

DJANGOCMS_SNIPPET_SEARCH = True

We are using Ace as our editor of choice to edit the snippet content. You can customize the theme and mode through:

DJANGOCMS_SNIPPET_THEME = 'github'
DJANGOCMS_SNIPPET_MODE = 'html'

If dynamic content is inserted (for example {% show_menu ... %}), the plugin cache must be disabled, please set DJANGOCMS_SNIPPET_CACHE to False in your settings:

DJANGOCMS_SNIPPET_CACHE = False # default value is True

Template tag

You can also use a template tag to render a snippet rather than a plugin:

{% load snippet_tags %}
{% snippet_fragment [reference] %}

Replace [reference] with either:

• The snippet ID, e.g. {% snippet_fragment 42 %}
• The snippet slug, e.g. {% snippet_fragment 'my-snippet' %}
• The snippet instance, e.g. {% snippet_fragment instance.snippet %}

Optionally provide a fallback if there is no matching id/slug/instance:

{% snippet_fragment 'my-snippet' or %}
    ... your content fallback here ...
{% endsnippet_fragment %}

Running Tests

You can run tests by executing:

virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r tests/requirements.txt
python setup.py test
