Django-Seamoss

django-seamoss is a simple cms to add to your django application to give your administrators the ability to control parts of the site including pages, menus and content blocks.

Installation:

  1. Put seamoss to your INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py within your django project.
  2. Add url(r'^(?P<slug>[-_\w]+)/$', 'seamoss.views.render_page', name="render-page"), to your urls.py. It would be best to put it after your admin urls and any other important urls.

Features:

  1. Unlimited menus providing the ability to create main navigation and sidebar navigations.
  2. Menu items can be linked to internal pages via a dropdown or external sites via a textfield.
  3. Markup language dropdown provided in the admin with a override for tinymce if it is installed.
  4. Basic key/value settings administration
  5. Creation of content blocks for use in sidebars, footers, etc.

Roadmap:

NOTE: Menus are not yet sortable via the admin. While this app is stable on at least one site (http://beta.cis-pa.org) the menu system needs to be completed to provide the ability to use up/down buttons to reorder the menu items.
