Simple Nivo Slider plugin for django-cms
Project description
Beautiful image and content slider plugin. Shows the widely used jQuery Nivo slider plugin from http://nivo.dev7studios.com/.
- Features:
Easily upload dozens of images thanks to django-filer;
HTML description for each image;
Four default nivo slider theme choices;
User selection of nivo parameters: themes, animation, manual advance, thumbnails, etc;
Auto-discovering of custom nivo themes on static dirs.
- Requires:
django-CMS (tested with 2.3)
django-filer (tested with 0.9a1)
Installation
pip install cmsplugin_nivoslider
Add ‘cmsplugin_nivoslider’ to INSTALLED_APPS
Add 'cmsplugin_nivoslider.thumbnail_processors.pad_image', to your THUMBNAIL_PROCESSORS (before autocrop)
Run ./manage.py syncdb (or ./manage.py migrate cmsplugin_nivoslider if you are using South)
You need to have correctly configured staticfiles for autodiscovering and using themes.
If you use South < 1.0, you will have to specify the migrations path using:
SOUTH_MIGRATION_MODULES = {
'cmsplugin_nivoslider': 'cmsplugin_nivoslider.south_migrations',
}Upgrading to 0.4
On version 0.4, we have dropped the custom image albums in behalf of django-filer Folders. So if you are upgrading from a previous version, you will have to upload again your images to a filer folder.
Using a custom or downloaded theme
When reloading your Django app, the plugin will search for themes on the following static dir: nivo/themes/.
So all you need to do is putting your theme plugin on static/nivo/themes/pluginname dir of some app of your Django project.
So after collectstatic, theme will be available under the directory: STATIC_ROOT/nivo/themes/pluginname And will be found by cmsplugin_nivoslider.
