Django-minipub is a MINImalist PUBlication control system for Django.

Project description

Latest PyPI version https://travis-ci.org/richardbarran/django-minipub.svg?branch=master https://coveralls.io/repos/github/richardbarran/django-minipub/badge.svg?branch=master

Django-minipub is a mini-malist pub-lication control system for Django.

Let’s explain it with an example: you have a ‘news’ application, with an Article model. In the admin interface, Minipub will add this fieldset:

docs/img/minipub-fieldset.png

All articles will then have the following 3 fields:

  • status: usually draft or published.

  • start: start date.

  • end: end date; optional.

Articles will only be visible in the public website if they are published and today’s date is between the start and end dates.

In addition, we have a fieldset for showing various read-only status fields:

docs/img/minipub-status-fieldset.png

These can be of use for tracking changes to an Article.

And that’s it… Minipub is simply a few fields on a Model Mixin, together with plenty of code - in the models, views, admin and sitemap - to make the best use of it, that you will hopefully reuse again and again throughout a project.

What can I use it for?

Here are some examples of Minipub at work:

Alternatives

There are several similar projects that take slightly different approaches to publication control; usually they introduce more sophisticated control. A well-known example is django-reversion.

Minipub is a very basic publication control tool, but works well on several production websites. Its author has found it be a decent compromise between a tool that’s too basic to be useful, and too complex to be understood by its intended end users.
