Plugin Descriptions

blog plugin

With the blog plugin bloggers (admin staff) can utilize markdown files for their blog posts which can link up to external podcast audio files and YouTube videos along with their written down content. There are also categories to organize the posts for quicker search results for readers who visit the direct start page of the blog plugin go to. Readers who visit can also write down a quick comment for each post as well.

Plugin reference - Not available yet

Note: Right now for updating and destroying posts and comments are dependent on the django admin plugin. Currently a backlog item todo for admins.

Note: Might need a login registration plugin later on but for now Django admin is fine for now.

tag plugin

The package is called django-tags.

The tag app is really useful for SEO purposes and grouping content together. It can be used for blogs, stores, crm, cms, etc.

In this app you are able to create, read, and destroy tags in the database. No updating once it's made.

For developing the site locally

Django

This site is developed using pipenv as it's virtual environment so best to use these commands when using these commands after installing python:

1. Create virtual environment: % pip3 install pipenv
2. Activate the virtual environment: % pipenv shell
3. Using pipenv to install the packages locally: % pipenv install
4. When you want to test the live site do: % python3 myplugins/manage.py runserver
5. When you are done using with the updates of the program deactivate your pipenv session by doing: % exit
