5.0a8 (2021-09-28)
- Allowed dragging text etc. inside the content editor (made the
dragstart
handling only trigger when dragging the title of fieldsets). - Fixed a bug where overlong fieldset titles would cause wrapping, which made the region move dropdown and the deletion UI elements inaccessible.
- Made the submit row sticky in content editors.
- Reworked the machine control to always add plugin buttons for all plugins and removed the plugins dropdown and moved the control to the right hand side of the editor to improve the visibility of plugin labels.
- Made it possible to drag several content blocks at once.
- Made it possible to directly insert plugins in the middle of the content, not just at the end.
- Added a bundled copy of Google's Material Icons library for use in the editor.
- Stopped overflowing the content editor horizontally when using (very) long descriptions for content blocks.
- Changed the transitions to avoid ugly artefacts when switching regions.
- Stopped merging unknown regions into one tab.
- Fixed one instance of a slightly timing-dependent initialization.
4.1 (2021-04-15)
- Fixed the rich text plugin to use the correct selector for the documented JavaScript code.
- Added
allow_regions
anddeny_regions
helpers to restrict plugins to specific regions. This was possible before but may be a little bit nicer with those helpers. - Added a workaround for a Chrome regression where the contents of a collapsed fieldset were still visible. (See the Chromium bug.)
- Fixed an edge case where passing a generator to
contents_for_item
would cause too many queries because of a missingparent
foreign key caching. - Disabled the content editor when there are no regions or when the current region doesn't allow any plugins.
- Changed the content editor interface to collapse and expand fieldsets with a single click instead of requiring a totally not discoverable doubleclick.
- Switched to saving the "Collapse all items" state inside the browsers' localStorage instead of starting with expanded fieldsets every time.
- Changed the JavaScript code to not add history entries anymore when changing tabs.
- Fixed the layout and sizing of controls in the title of heading blocks (the dropdown to move the block to a different region and the delete checkbox).
- Changed the content editor to always add new items in an uncollapsed state.
- Added a workaround for Django admin's failure to collapse/uncollapse fieldsets which have been added dynamically.
- Changed the "Collapse all items" behavior to never collapse fieldsets with errors inside.
- Changed
Region
andTemplate
to require all of their fields.
4.0 (2020-11-28)
- BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Plugins now use the inline prefix inside
the content editor.
ContentEditor.addPluginButton()
now requires the inline prefix of plugins, not an arbitrary key. E.g. instead of<app_label>_<model_name>
it now expects<app_label>_<model_name>_set
. This change allows using the same plugin model several times with different inlines. - Allowed configuring plugin buttons by setting the
button
attribute ofContentEditorInline
classes/objects. - Added highlighting of the current content block in the editor.
- Added focussing of the first input field of new content blocks.
- Added a dragging affordance to content blocks.
- Made hovered and focussed content blocks stand out more.
- Fixed styling problems when using tabbed fieldsets with inlines.
- Fixed a long-standing bug where dropping a content block on top of e.g. a CKEditor instance wouldn't actually move the dragged block to the new position.
- Changed the JavaScript code to also handle Ctrl-S, not just Cmd-S to save; modified the event handler to always save and continue.
- Replaced the collapse-all button with a checkbox to make it clearer what the state is.
- Allowed collapsing individual content blocks by doubleclicking the title. This may change in the future (as all things) because it's not discoverable at all.
- Added a small note when a fieldset is collapsed.
- Changed CSS variables to use the same names as django-variable-admin.
- Moved the
Ctrl-S
andCmd-S
shortcut handling into its owncontent_editor/save_shortcut.js
static file to allow easier reuse in other model admin classes. - Started modernizing the JavaScript code, dropped Internet Explorer polyfills. Django dropped support for legacy browsers in the administration interface in the Django 3.1 release too.
- Changed the JavaScript code to not swallow unrelated drag/drop events.
3.0 (2020-06-06)
- Added Django 3.0 and 3.1a1 to the test matrix.
- Dropped Django 1.11, 2.0 and 2.1.
- Fixed a problem where the content editor JavaScript code would produce
an invalid
action
upon submit.
2.0 (2019-11-11)
- Changed the minimum versions to Django 1.11 and Python 3.5. Removed the dependency on six again.
- Dropped the
contents_for_mptt_item
utility. - Dropped the
PluginRenderer
-- people should really either use feincms3'sTemplatePluginRenderer
or implement a project-specific solution.
1.5 (2019-09-26)
- Added an additional check to avoid processing inlines not managed by the content editor.
- Allowed uncollapsing tabbed fieldsets after page load by specifying
"classes": ["tabbed", "uncollapse"]
- Added a place to edit items assigned to unknown regions.
1.4 (2019-03-18)
- Added configuration to make running prettier and ESLint easy.
- Added a different message when a region is empty and its
inherited
flag is set. - Make the
regions
attribute onContentEditorInline
objects a callable. - Added a six dependency, Django 3.0 will ship without
@python_2_unicode_compatible
. - Deprecated
contents_for_mptt_item
and removed the django-mptt dependency from the testsuite. - Made the dependency of our JS on
django.jQuery
explicit which is necessary to avoid invalid orderings with Django 2.2 because of its updatedMedia.merge
algorithm.
1.3 (2018-12-10)
- Added back the possibility to move new content blocks in-between other content blocks without having to save first. To achieve this the CSS and JavaScript of the content editor was rewritten using flex ordering instead of modifying the order of elements in the DOM. This also implies that reordering content blocks does not require deactivation and activation steps anymore e.g. to preserve the functionality of a rich text editor, possibly making it easier to implement custom editors for individual plugins.
- Added a button to the content editor to toggle the content of inlines (making reordering contents easier).
- Added a workaround for a bug with Django's responsive administration
panel CSS where form fields where shown below the 767px breakpoint
despite them being
.hidden
. - Reformatted the CSS and JavaScript code using prettier.
1.2 (2018-10-06)
- Fixed our use of internal API of
forms.Media
that will be removed in Django 2.0. - Fixed an elusive bug with our formsets handling. Newly added content blocks have to be saved before they can be reordered.
- Fixed a handful of minor CSS bugs.
- Updated the documentation with a few improved recommendations.
- Moved plugin buttons before the dropdown.
- Removed the JavaScript's dependency on the exact
related_name
value of plugins.
1.1 (2017-06-27)
- Moved the
JS
form assets helper to django-js-asset, thereby raising our own Python code coverage to 100%. - Added Django 1.11 and Django@master to the Travis build.
- Added a tox configuration file for building docs and running style checks and the test suite.
- Added a check which errors if the model registered with the
ContentEditor
has noregions
attribute or property. - Expanded the documentation a bit.
- Fixed occasional problems when sorting by keeping the empty inline formsets at the end at all times. Thanks to Tom Van Damme for the contribution!
1.0 (2017-01-23)
- Moved the regions inheritance handling from
contents_for_mptt_item
tocontents_for_item
to make it reusable outside MPTT hierarchies. - Reworded the introduction to the documentation.
0.10 (2016-09-06)
- Changed
Region
andTemplate
to extendtypes.SimpleNamespace
on Python versions that support this (>3.3) - Allowed restricting individual plugin types to a subset of available
regions by setting
ContentEditorInline.plugins
to a list of region keys. Thanks to Tom Van Damme for the contribution! - Removed Django from
install_requires
-- updating django-content-editor does not necessarily mean users want to update Django as well.
0.9 (2016-08-12)
- Some browsers do not support
Math.sign
... - Automatically open the first tab with errors when using tabbed fieldsets.
- Improve visibility of plugin fieldsets.
- Fixed widgets using their own size in tabbed fieldsets and the content editor (for example django-versatileimagefield's primary point of interest field).
- Use django.contrib.staticfiles' static URL generation if it is installed.
0.8 (2016-07-07)
- Modified
PluginRenderer.render
andPluginRenderer.render_content
to pass on keyword arguments (if any) to the registered render functions. - Made tabbed fieldsets' titles stand out if the tab contains invalid fields.
0.7 (2016-06-29)
- Raise tests coverage back to 100% after the
PluginRenderer.render
change in 0.6. - Simplify the implementation of the return value of
PluginRenderer.render
. Empty regions are now falsy again.
0.6 (2016-06-25)
- The return value of
PluginRenderer.render
now allows outputting individual items as well as the concatenated output of all items as before. - Added this change log.
0.5 (2016-06-21)
- Made tests using Django@master pass again by switching to my fork of django-mptt.
- Simplified the way package data is specified in setup.py.
0.4 (2016-04-14)
- Added a check to Django's checks framework for custom content editor fieldsets.
- Streamlined the implementation of
PluginRenderer
, allow rendering a single plugin. - Added documentation for
Contents
and its helpers. - Added infrastructure for running the tests using
./setup.py test
.
0.3 (2016-02-28)
- Replaced the
ContentEditorForm
with aformfield_for_dbfield
override for easier model form customization. - Replaced the
ContentProxy
concept with a genericContents
class and various helpers for fetching contents. - Added a simple
PluginRenderer
for registering render functions for a plugin class tree.
0.2 (2016-02-26)
- Added comments, documentation.
- Fixed the JavaScript tag generation by the
JS
class. - Only auto-fill our own ordering fields.
0.1 (2016-02-16)
Initial public release of django-content-editor.
The last common commit of FeinCMS 1 and django-content-editor before the fork was made in 2015. The core concepts were basically unchanged since 2009. django-content-editor is a modernization of FeinCMS's ItemEditor while keeping the good parts about it.
