TinyMCE is a online rich text editor which is fully flexible and provides customisation. mostly used to get dynamic data such as articles in GFG and much more, their is no static database for posts
To integrate it with Django web app or website you need to first install its pip library
Integrate with Django Project –
add tinyMCE as individual app in setting.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'tinymce',
...
]
Also add default configuration for tinyMCE editor in settings.py
TINYMCE_DEFAULT_CONFIG = {
'cleanup_on_startup': True,
'custom_undo_redo_levels': 20,
'selector': 'textarea',
'theme': 'silver',
'plugins': '''
textcolor save link image media preview codesample contextmenu
table code lists fullscreen insertdatetime nonbreaking
contextmenu directionality searchreplace wordcount visualblocks
visualchars code fullscreen autolink lists charmap print hr
anchor pagebreak
''',
'toolbar1': '''
fullscreen preview bold italic underline | fontselect,
fontsizeselect | forecolor backcolor | alignleft alignright |
aligncenter alignjustify | indent outdent | bullist numlist table |
| link image media | codesample |
''',
'toolbar2': '''
visualblocks visualchars |
charmap hr pagebreak nonbreaking anchor | code |
''',
'contextmenu': 'formats | link image',
'menubar': True,
'statusbar': True,
}
here in configuration dictionary you can customise editor by changing values like theme and many more.
setting TinyMCE is done now to bring it into actions we need forms.py file with some required values like needed size of input field it is used by displaying content on html page
from django import forms
from tinymce import TinyMCE
from .models import _your_model_
class TinyMCEWidget(TinyMCE):
def use_required_attribute( self , * args):
return False
class PostForm(forms.ModelForm):
content = forms.CharField(
widget = TinyMCEWidget(
attrs = { 'required' : False , 'cols' : 30 , 'rows' : 10 }
)
)
class Meta:
model = _your_model_
fields = '__all__'
|
Last step is to add htmlfield to your model you can also use different field check out them on their official website
...
from tinymce.models import HTMLField
class article(models.Model):
...
content = HTMLField()
|
