djangocms-owl 0.1.9

Dependencies

• Djangocms>=3.0

• Django>=1.6

Installation

Install Djangocms-owl from Pypi.

pip install djangocms-owl

Add Djangocms_owl to INSTALLED_APPS

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'djangocms_owl',
    ...
)

Owl Carousel has a dependency on JQuery Docs that is not currently included within this package. Add a copy will need adding to a template such as the base.html.

<script src="jquery.min.js"></script>

Configuration

CSS classes can be added to the plugin via a select box by using the DJANGOCMS_OWL_STYLES settings tuple.

DJANGOCMS_OWL_STYLES = (
    ('style1', 'Style 1'),
    ('style2', 'Style 2'),
)

djangocms_owl/default.html is rendered by default. The user can select custom templates if the following tuple is set as the example below demonstrates.

DJANGOCMS_OWL_TEMPLATES = (
    ('template1', 'Template 1'),
    ('template2', 'Template 2'),
)

Restrict the plugins available to Owl Carousel

DJANGOCMS_OWL_CHILD_CLASSES = (
    'PicturePlugin',
)

Include or exclude static files

DJANGOCMS_OWL_INCLUDE_CSS = True
DJANGOCMS_OWL_INCLUDE_JS_OWL = True
DJANGOCMS_OWL_INCLUDE_JS_JQUERY = True

Set the CMS module name in the available plugin list. The default is Generic.

DJANGOCMS_OWL_MODULE = _('Generic')

Templates

base.html includes all the JavaScript and CSS needed to run the carousel, but it does not render the HTML. Custom templates can extend base.html as long as they define a plugin block containing the html and plugin render code as show in the below example.

{% extends 'djangocms_owl/base.html' %}
{% load cms_tags %}

{% block plugin %}
  <div class="owl-carousel-plugin plugin{% if style %} {{ style }}{% endif %}" id="plugin-{{ instance.pk }}">
    <div class="row">
      <div class="small-12 columns">
        <div class="slider">
          {% for plugin in instance.child_plugin_instances %}
            <div class="item">
              {% render_plugin plugin %}
            </div>
          {% endfor %}
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
{% endblock plugin %}
