wagtail_blog

A wordpress like blog app implemented in wagtail.

What is it

After reimplimenting wordpress like blogs over and over again in wagtail I decided to just make this. Feel free to use as is or copy it as a starting point. It's based on the wagtail demo blog but is closer to a standard Wordpress blog style.

Features

• Categories and tags with views
• RSS
• Basic starter templates with pagination
• Comments

Work in progress?

• Wordpress importer
• Disqus comments

Installation

1. pip install wagtail-blog
2. Add blog to INSTALLED_APPS
3. Add url(r'^blog/', include('blog.urls')), to urls.py
4. Override templates as needed.

Settings

BLOG_PAGINATION_PER_PAGE (Default 10) Set to change the number of blogs per page. Set to None to disable (useful if using your own pagination implimentation).

Comments

django-comments-xtd comments work out of the box. Just install it as directed here. Customizing the xtd comment templates should be all you need - but feel free to review this apps templates which you may want to override.

Out of box Disqus coming someday - but it's pretty easy to add manually following the Disqus documentation and overriding templates.

Feel free to contribute other comment implimentations.

Hacking

The included docker-compose file should make it easy to get up and running.

1. Install docker and docker-compose
2. docker-compose up
3. docker-compose run --rm web ./manage.py migrate
4. docker-compose run --rm web ./manage.py createsuperuser
5. Log in and create a blog index page with blog pages to see a very basic implimentation.
