(r'^jsi18n/$', 'django.views.i18n.javascript_catalog', {'packages': ('fiber',),}),

Post-installation:

Create database tables:

$ python manage.py syncdb

All static Fiber files need to be symlinked in (or copied to) your media folder:

$ python manage.py collectstatic --link

Usage:

At the beginning of your template(s), load the Fiber template tags:

{% load fiber_tags %}

Using the Fiber template tags, you can:

  • write out content items, that either

    • have a specified name

    • are linked to a specific location on the current page

    • are linked to a specific location on another page

  • write out valid XHTML menu structures

    • of pages below a named root page (this is the menu name),

    • limited to a minimum and maximum level (depth),

    • that mark the currently active page,

    • optionally expanding all descendants of the currently active page,

    • with all possible css hooks you could ever need

Content items

You can write out content items with the ‘show_content’ and ‘show_page_content’ template tags:

{% show_content "content_item_name" %}
{% show_page_content "block_name" %}
{% show_page_content other_page "block_name" %}

Examples

This shows content item named ‘address’:

{% show_content "address" %}

This shows content items that are linked to the location named ‘content’ on the current page:

{% show_page_content "content" %}

This shows content items that are linked to the location named ‘content’ on another page ‘other_page’:

{% show_page_content other_page "content" %}
