djangocms-link2

A link/-structure management plugin that replaces the plugin shipped with django-cms with a robust version that employs file fields from django-filer. It can be used as a drop-in replacement for cmsplugin_filer_link. The package contains a management command to migrate all existing Link-instances from cmsplugin_filer_link to link2.

Code Analysis

Features

cmsplugin_filer_link is already a great plugin and link2 builds on it. The following advantages are available in this package:

  • robust django-cms link plugin which doesn't fail loudly
  • persists the internal url as well
  • can be copied safely between languages (even if the target page is not yet available in this language)
  • internal and external links are monitored (through a management command)
  • faulty links are visually highlighted for the content editor
  • an admin page lists all faulty links
  • easy migration from cmsplugin_filer_link (through a management command)

Dependencies

  • django-filer >= 1.2
  • Django >= 1.8
  • django-cms >= 3.1
  • djangocms-attributes-field
  • requests

Installation

To get started using djangocms-link2:

  • install it with pip:

    $ pip install djangocms-link2

  • add the plugins to INSTALLED_APPS:

    INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'cmsplugin_filer_link2',
    ...
)

  • run migrate cmsplugin_filer_link2.

  • remove the default djangocms-link or cmsplugin_filer_link from your INSTALLED_APPS

  • add LINK_DOMAIN = 'www.yourdomain.com' to your settings to make sure files and relative paths can be checked through the management command.

Management Command

./manage.py check_links allows you to check all Link instances. ./manage.py check_links --timeout=20 allows you to set a timeout for quicker checks. Default timeout is 60 seconds.
