Wagtail CMS Setup Guide
This guide will help you understand how to config Wagtail CMS in SaaS Hammer.
Create Admin
Let's create superadmin, you can skip this step if you already have one.
(venv)$ ./manage.py createsuperuser
And then login on http://127.0.0.1:8000/cms
Setup Site
In the sidebar, click Settings/Sites
You should config the domain and port on production site, so the absoluate URL of the pages would be correct.
On local, you can just change the port to 8000 (this is optional)
Site Settings
We can use Wagtail CMS to help us manage content of the specific sections in Django template. (even the page is served by normal Django view)
The benefit is we can update the content without changing Django template.
In the sidebar, click Settings/Home page Settings
You can add feature and testimonial on this page, after you are done, you can check the result on http://127.0.0.1:8000/
How it works
In Django template, we can iterate to render the content.
{% with features=wagtail_settings.cms.HomePageSettings.features %}
{% for feature in features %}
{% include 'cms/components/home_feature.html' with value=feature.value only %}
{% endfor %}
{% endwith %}
As you can see, with Site Settings, you can use Wagtail to help you manage content of the specific sections in Django template.
