This project is a friendly fork of the original Django Blog Zinnia project by Julien Fache @Fantomas42.

Despite multiple attempts to contact Julien Fache, the original Zinnia repository is no longer active and maintained by its author. Virtually no activity since March 2020 has been recorded, and the project is no longer compatible with modern versions of Django 3 & 4.

In order to recover the project's legacy, and to provide a community maintained alternative, this fork this has been created.

Please head over to Docs.DjangoBlogZinnia.com for documentation and other resources.

Installation

Using pip:

pip install git+https://github.com/arrobalytics/django-blog-zinnia.git@v0.22-alpha4.

Using pipenv, add Django Blog Zinnia to your Pipfile dependencies:

django-blog-zinnia = { git = "https://github.com/arrobalytics/django-blog-zinnia.git@v0.22-alpha3" }

Then run:

pipenv install

RoadMap

As a priority, this fork will be focused on updating Zinnia to work with modern versions of Django and in removing/replacing all deprecated features.

Once the project is updated, the following activities are planned for future releases:

  • Inspection, evaluation and update of Zinnia's dependencies.
  • Extension of Entry Model to create and support multiple image sizes for SEO and performance purposes.
  • Implementation of a browser-based Entry editor to eliminate the need to write plain Markdown on the Django Admin site for creating Entries.
  • Develop a new Zinnia default theme based on modern CSS frameworks such as Bulma, Bootstrap, etc.
  • Update Tests and make use of GitHub actions for testing.
  • Update documentation.

Django Blog Zinnia

Simple yet powerful and really extendable application for managing a blog within your Django Web site.

Django Blog Zinnia is a community maintained fork of the abandoned Django Blog Zinnia project by @Fantomas42. Zinnia has been made for publishing Weblog entries and designed to do it well.

Basically any feature that can be provided by another reusable app has been left out. Why should we re-implement something that is already done and reviewed by others and tested?

Features

More than a long speech, here the list of the main features:

Examples
