djangocms-alias 2.0.1

Requirements

django CMS Alias requires that you have a django CMS 4 (or higher) project already running and set up.

To install

Run:

pip install git+https://github.com/django-cms/djangocms-alias@master#egg=djangocms-alias

Add djangocms_alias and parler to your project’s INSTALLED_APPS.

Run:

python manage.py migrate djangocms_alias

to perform the application’s database migrations.

Static aliases

Static aliases appear in templates and replace static placeholders which were part of django CMS up to version 3.x.

Example:

{% load djangocms_alias_tags %}
...
<footer>
  {% static_alias 'footer' %}
</footer>

Alias plugin

Alternatively, aliases can be used with the Alias plugin. It allows to select which alias content is shown at the exact position the alias plugin is placed.

Side notes

For the plugin to work out of the box {% block content %} is expected to exist in your main base.html file.
