Customising the editing interface

||
Customising the tabbed interface
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
As standard, Wagtail organises panels for pages into three tabs: 'Content', 'Promote' and 'Settings'. For snippets Wagtail puts all panels into one page. Depending on the requirements of your site, you may wish to customise this for specific page types or snippets - for example, adding an additional tab for sidebar content. This can be done by specifying an ``edit_handler`` attribute on the page or snippet model. For example:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: python
|
||
|
||
from wagtail.admin.edit_handlers import TabbedInterface, ObjectList
|
||
|
||
class BlogPage(Page):
|
||
# field definitions omitted
|
||
|
||
content_panels = [
|
||
FieldPanel('title', classname="full title"),
|
||
FieldPanel('date'),
|
||
FieldPanel('body', classname="full"),
|
||
]
|
||
sidebar_content_panels = [
|
||
SnippetChooserPanel('advert'),
|
||
InlinePanel('related_links', label="Related links"),
|
||
]
|
||
|
||
edit_handler = TabbedInterface([
|
||
ObjectList(content_panels, heading='Content'),
|
||
ObjectList(sidebar_content_panels, heading='Sidebar content'),
|
||
ObjectList(Page.promote_panels, heading='Promote'),
|
||
ObjectList(Page.settings_panels, heading='Settings', classname="settings"),
|
||
])
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. _rich-text:
|
||
|
||
Rich Text (HTML)
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
Wagtail provides a general-purpose WYSIWYG editor for creating rich text content (HTML) and embedding media such as images, video, and documents. To include this in your models, use the :class:`~wagtail.core.fields.RichTextField` function when defining a model field:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: python
|
||
|
||
from wagtail.core.fields import RichTextField
|
||
from wagtail.admin.edit_handlers import FieldPanel
|
||
|
||
|
||
class BookPage(Page):
|
||
book_text = RichTextField()
|
||
|
||
content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
|
||
FieldPanel('body', classname="full"),
|
||
]
|
||
|
||
:class:`~wagtail.core.fields.RichTextField` inherits from Django's basic ``TextField`` field, so you can pass any field parameters into :class:`~wagtail.core.fields.RichTextField` as if using a normal Django field. This field does not need a special panel and can be defined with ``FieldPanel``.
|
||
|
||
However, template output from :class:`~wagtail.core.fields.RichTextField` is special and need to be filtered to preserve embedded content. See :ref:`rich-text-filter`.
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. _rich_text_features:
|
||
|
||
Limiting features in a rich text field
|
||
--------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
By default, the rich text editor provides users with a wide variety of options for text formatting and inserting embedded content such as images. However, we may wish to restrict a rich text field to a more limited set of features - for example:
|
||
|
||
* The field might be intended for a short text snippet, such as a summary to be pulled out on index pages, where embedded images or videos would be inappropriate;
|
||
* When page content is defined using :ref:`StreamField <streamfield>`, elements such as headings, images and videos are usually given their own block types, alongside a rich text block type used for ordinary paragraph text; in this case, allowing headings and images to also exist within the rich text content is redundant (and liable to result in inconsistent designs).
|
||
|
||
This can be achieved by passing a ``features`` keyword argument to ``RichTextField``, with a list of identifiers for the features you wish to allow:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: python
|
||
|
||
body = RichTextField(features=['h2', 'h3', 'bold', 'italic', 'link'])
|
||
|
||
The feature identifiers provided on a default Wagtail installation are as follows:
|
||
|
||
* ``h1``, ``h2``, ``h3``, ``h4``, ``h5``, ``h6`` - heading elements
|
||
* ``bold``, ``italic`` - bold / italic text
|
||
* ``ol``, ``ul`` - ordered / unordered lists
|
||
* ``hr`` - horizontal rules
|
||
* ``link`` - page, external and email links
|
||
* ``document-link`` - links to documents
|
||
* ``image`` - embedded images
|
||
* ``embed`` - embedded media (see :ref:`embedded_content`)
|
||
|
||
|
||
Adding new features to this list is generally a two step process:
|
||
|
||
* Create a plugin that extends the editor with a new toolbar button or other control(s) to manage the rich text formatting of the feature.
|
||
* Create conversion or whitelist rules to define how content from the editor should be filtered or transformed before storage, and front-end HTML output.
|
||
|
||
Both of these steps are performed through the ``register_rich_text_features`` hook (see :ref:`admin_hooks`). The hook function is triggered on startup, and receives a *feature registry* object as its argument; this object keeps track of the behaviours associated with each feature identifier.
|
||
|
||
To have a feature active by default (i.e. on ``RichTextFields`` that do not define an explicit ``features`` list), add it to the ``default_features`` list on the ``features`` object:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: python
|
||
|
||
@hooks.register('register_rich_text_features')
|
||
def register_blockquote_feature(features):
|
||
features.default_features.append('strikethrough')
|
||
|
||
The process for creating new features is described in the following sections.
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. _extending_wysiwyg:
|
||
|
||
Extending the WYSIWYG Editor (``Draftail``)
|
||
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
||
|
||
Wagtail's rich text editor is built on `Draftail <https://github.com/springload/draftail>`_, and its functionality can be extended through plugins.
|
||
|
||
Extending the WYSIWYG Editor (``hallo.js``)
|
||
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
||
|
||
.. warning::
|
||
**As of Wagtail 2.0, the hallo.js editor is deprecated.** We have no intentions to remove it from Wagtail as of yet, but it will no longer receive bug fixes. Please be aware of the `known hallo.js issues <https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed+hallo+label%3A%22component%3ARich+text%22+label%3Atype%3ABug+label%3A%22status%3AWont+Fix%22>`_ should you want to keep using it.
|
||
|
||
To use hallo.js on Wagtail 2.x, add the following to your settings:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: python
|
||
|
||
WAGTAILADMIN_RICH_TEXT_EDITORS = {
|
||
'default': {
|
||
'WIDGET': 'wagtail.admin.rich_text.HalloRichTextArea'
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
The legacy hallo.js editor’s functionality can be extended through plugins. For information on developing custom ``hallo.js`` plugins, see the project's page: https://github.com/bergie/hallo
|
||
|
||
Once the plugin has been created, it should be registered through the feature registry's ``register_editor_plugin(editor, feature_name, plugin)`` method. For a ``hallo.js`` plugin, the ``editor`` parameter should always be ``'hallo'``.
|
||
|
||
A plugin ``halloblockquote``, implemented in ``myapp/js/hallo-blockquote.js``, that adds support for the ``<blockquote>`` tag, would be registered under the feature name ``block-quote`` as follows:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: python
|
||
|
||
from wagtail.admin.rich_text import HalloPlugin
|
||
from wagtail.core import hooks
|
||
|
||
@hooks.register('register_rich_text_features')
|
||
def register_embed_feature(features):
|
||
features.register_editor_plugin(
|
||
'hallo', 'block-quote',
|
||
HalloPlugin(
|
||
name='halloblockquote',
|
||
js=['myapp/js/hallo-blockquote.js'],
|
||
)
|
||
)
|
||
|
||
The constructor for ``HalloPlugin`` accepts the following keyword arguments:
|
||
|
||
* ``name`` - the plugin name as defined in the Javascript code. ``hallo.js`` plugin names are prefixed with the ``"IKS."`` namespace, but the name passed here should be without the prefix.
|
||
* ``options`` - a dictionary (or other JSON-serialisable object) of options to be passed to the Javascript plugin code on initialisation
|
||
* ``js`` - a list of Javascript files to be imported for this plugin, defined in the same way as a `Django form media <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/forms/media/>`_ definition
|
||
* ``css`` - a dictionary of CSS files to be imported for this plugin, defined in the same way as a `Django form media <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/forms/media/>`_ definition
|
||
* ``order`` - an index number (default 100) specifying the order in which plugins should be listed, which in turn determines the order buttons will appear in the toolbar
|
||
|
||
When writing the front-end code for the plugin, Wagtail’s Hallo implementation offers two extension points:
|
||
|
||
* In JavaScript, use the ``[data-hallo-editor]`` attribute selector to target the editor, eg. ``var $editor = $('[data-hallo-editor]');``.
|
||
* In CSS, use the ``.halloeditor`` class selector.
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. _whitelisting_rich_text_elements:
|
||
|
||
Whitelisting rich text elements (``hallo.js``)
|
||
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
||
|
||
After extending the editor to support a new HTML element, you'll need to add it to the whitelist of permitted elements - Wagtail's standard behaviour is to strip out unrecognised elements, to prevent editors from inserting styles and scripts (either deliberately, or inadvertently through copy-and-paste) that the developer didn't account for.
|
||
|
||
Elements can be added to the whitelist through the feature registry's ``register_converter_rule(converter, feature_name, ruleset)`` method. When the ``hallo.js`` editor is in use, the ``converter`` parameter should always be ``'editorhtml'``.
|
||
|
||
The following code will add the ``<blockquote>`` element to the whitelist whenever the ``block-quote`` feature is active:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: python
|
||
|
||
from wagtail.admin.rich_text.converters.editor_html import WhitelistRule
|
||
from wagtail.core.whitelist import allow_without_attributes
|
||
|
||
@hooks.register('register_rich_text_features')
|
||
def register_blockquote_feature(features):
|
||
features.register_converter_rule('editorhtml', 'block-quote', [
|
||
WhitelistRule('blockquote', allow_without_attributes),
|
||
])
|
||
|
||
``WhitelistRule`` is passed the element name, and a callable which will perform some kind of manipulation of the element whenever it is encountered. This callable receives the element as a `BeautifulSoup <http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/>`_ Tag object.
|
||
|
||
The ``wagtail.core.whitelist`` module provides a few helper functions to assist in defining these handlers: ``allow_without_attributes``, a handler which preserves the element but strips out all of its attributes, and ``attribute_rule`` which accepts a dict specifying how to handle each attribute, and returns a handler function. This dict will map attribute names to either True (indicating that the attribute should be kept), False (indicating that it should be dropped), or a callable (which takes the initial attribute value and returns either a final value for the attribute, or None to drop the attribute).
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. _rich_text_image_formats:
|
||
|
||
Image Formats in the Rich Text Editor
|
||
-------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
On loading, Wagtail will search for any app with the file ``image_formats.py`` and execute the contents. This provides a way to customise the formatting options shown to the editor when inserting images in the :class:`~wagtail.core.fields.RichTextField` editor.
|
||
|
||
As an example, add a "thumbnail" format:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: python
|
||
|
||
# image_formats.py
|
||
from wagtail.images.formats import Format, register_image_format
|
||
|
||
register_image_format(Format('thumbnail', 'Thumbnail', 'richtext-image thumbnail', 'max-120x120'))
|
||
|
||
|
||
To begin, import the ``Format`` class, ``register_image_format`` function, and optionally ``unregister_image_format`` function. To register a new ``Format``, call the ``register_image_format`` with the ``Format`` object as the argument. The ``Format`` class takes the following constructor arguments:
|
||
|
||
``name``
|
||
The unique key used to identify the format. To unregister this format, call ``unregister_image_format`` with this string as the only argument.
|
||
|
||
``label``
|
||
The label used in the chooser form when inserting the image into the :class:`~wagtail.core.fields.RichTextField`.
|
||
|
||
``classnames``
|
||
The string to assign to the ``class`` attribute of the generated ``<img>`` tag.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
Any class names you provide must have CSS rules matching them written separately, as part of the front end CSS code. Specifying a ``classnames`` value of ``left`` will only ensure that class is output in the generated markup, it won't cause the image to align itself left.
|
||
|
||
``filter_spec``
|
||
The string specification to create the image rendition. For more, see the :ref:`image_tag`.
|
||
|
||
|
||
To unregister, call ``unregister_image_format`` with the string of the ``name`` of the ``Format`` as the only argument.
|
||
|
||
.. _custom_edit_handler_forms:
|
||
|
||
Customising generated forms
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
.. class:: wagtail.admin.forms.WagtailAdminModelForm
|
||
.. class:: wagtail.admin.forms.WagtailAdminPageForm
|
||
|
||
Wagtail automatically generates forms using the panels configured on the model.
|
||
By default, this form subclasses :class:`~wagtail.admin.forms.WagtailAdminModelForm`,
|
||
or :class:`~wagtail.admin.forms.WagtailAdminPageForm` for pages.
|
||
A custom base form class can be configured by setting the :attr:`base_form_class` attribute on any model.
|
||
Custom forms for snippets must subclass :class:`~wagtail.admin.forms.WagtailAdminModelForm`,
|
||
and custom forms for pages must subclass :class:`~wagtail.admin.forms.WagtailAdminPageForm`.
|
||
|
||
This can be used to add non-model fields to the form, to automatically generate field content,
|
||
or to add custom validation logic for your models:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: python
|
||
|
||
from django import forms
|
||
import geocoder # not in Wagtail, for example only - http://geocoder.readthedocs.io/
|
||
from wagtail.admin.edit_handlers import FieldPanel
|
||
from wagtail.admin.forms import WagtailAdminPageForm
|
||
from wagtail.core.models import Page
|
||
|
||
|
||
class EventPageForm(WagtailAdminPageForm):
|
||
address = forms.CharField()
|
||
|
||
def clean(self):
|
||
cleaned_data = super().clean()
|
||
|
||
# Make sure that the event starts before it ends
|
||
start_date = cleaned_data['start_date']
|
||
end_date = cleaned_data['end_date']
|
||
if start_date and end_date and start_date > end_date:
|
||
self.add_error('end_date', 'The end date must be after the start date')
|
||
|
||
return cleaned_data
|
||
|
||
def save(self, commit=True):
|
||
page = super().save(commit=False)
|
||
|
||
# Update the duration field from the submitted dates
|
||
page.duration = (page.end_date - page.start_date).days
|
||
|
||
# Fetch the location by geocoding the address
|
||
page.location = geocoder.arcgis(self.cleaned_data['address'])
|
||
|
||
if commit:
|
||
page.save()
|
||
return page
|
||
|
||
|
||
class EventPage(Page):
|
||
start_date = models.DateField()
|
||
end_date = models.DateField()
|
||
duration = models.IntegerField()
|
||
location = models.CharField(max_length=255)
|
||
|
||
content_panels = [
|
||
FieldPanel('title'),
|
||
FieldPanel('start_date'),
|
||
FieldPanel('end_date'),
|
||
FieldPanel('address'),
|
||
]
|
||
base_form_class = EventPageForm
|
||
|
||
Wagtail will generate a new subclass of this form for the model,
|
||
adding any fields defined in ``panels`` or ``content_panels``.
|
||
Any fields already defined on the model will not be overridden by these automatically added fields,
|
||
so the form field for a model field can be overridden by adding it to the custom form.
|
