django-neon


THE CMS-APPLICATION FOR DJANGO-PROJECTS

The Concept

The idea behind django-neon is based on pages and panes.

Pages are used for a hierarchical structure of a website. Hierarchical pages build trees and it is possible to have more than one tree and multiple root-pages in a django-neon-application.

Panes are content-containers storing plain text. These texts can be interpreted by markdown, reStructuredText or in a dynamic way.

Panes are related to pages. Pages can hold multiple panes and panes can freely be moved around from page to page.

Also django-neon comes with an integrated Media Database for images and documents (files for download) and some markup-extensions to access theses images and documents from markdown or reStructuredText.

Installation

Install from PyPi

pip install django-neon

or load the sources from bitbucket.

Requirements

django-neon is based and tested on Python 3.5+ and django 1.9+ (but should work also from Python 3.3 up and with django 1.8+).

For using images PIL/pillow have to be installed.

Optional markdown, docutils and pygments can be installed. Once installed django-neon use these packages without any further configuration. Refer to Panes to read about using the markup.

Tutorial

There is a Tutorial to guide from creating a django-project up to the first page with django-neon.
