I have an existing django application, with which I need to integrate django-cms. Django-cms will be mainly used to create help documents for the application. I've setup django-cms to use my existing database, so as to keep users and auth consistent.
Ideally in a help page, I would be needing client specific information from my existing application, and also provide editing functionality to the documentation team.
Here is a sample view which I wrote:
def view_help(request, company):
try:
c = Company.objects.get(id=company)
except:
return render_to_response('help.html', {'msg':'No Such company'})
return render_to_response('help.html', {'company':c, 'data':c.data})
Corresponding template help.html:
{% load cms_tags %}
{% load custom_tags %}
<!doctype html>
<head>
<title>{{company}}</title>
{% plugins_media %}
</head>
<body>
{% placeholder "main" %}
{% if msg %}
{{msg}}
{% else %}
Here is company specific data: <br/>
{{ data }}
{% endif %}
</body>
</html>
This gives me the company specific information I need, but doesn't give me the cms plugins.
Any help here would be much appreciated. Thanks.
