The RSS feed can now be referred to in the <head> of your HTML templates:
<link rel="feed alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Blog" href="{% url 'blog:blog_feed' %}" />
By default the templates contain only the bare necessities. To override the default templates, create a directory called django_blog in your templates directory and copy the templates from the project into that directory in order to make adjustments to them. If you're using Virtualenv, cd to the root of the django project and execute the following command:
cp -r $VIRTUAL_ENV/src/django-blog/django_blog/templates/django_blog templates/django_blog
Returns an unordered list of all authors via the template _authors_list.html.
Usage:
{% load authors_list %}
{% authors_list %}
Returns an unordered list of all categories via the template _categories_list.html.
Usage:
{% load categories_list %}
{% categories_list %}
Draft entries can be previwed directly by clicking the View on Site link from within the Entries Admin. These entries will not be added to any of the list views nor will they be published in the XML (RSS) feed until their status is changed to Live.
Hidden Entries
In addition to not being listed in any of the list views or the XML (RSS) feed, Hidden entries will return a 404 Page Not Found if the URL for the detail view is accessed directly. This can be used to remove an Entry without completely deleting it. It can still be accessed from within the site Admin.
The live entry manager can be used to return all entries with a live status. Example usage would be in sitemaps.py:
from django.contrib.sitemaps import Sitemap
from django_blog.models import Entry
class BlogSitemap(Sitemap):
def items(self):
Entry.live.all()
def lastmod(self, obj):
return obj.pub_date
django_blog follows the Git Flow branching model.
When releasing, bump the version number in the project's setup.py file.
$ python setup.py test
First, install Tox, then run the tests. This will test against the Django versions specified in the environments specified in the tox.ini file
$ pip install tox $ tox
