  1. Wagtail CRX (CodeRed Extensions)
  2. ================================
  3. `Official website <https://www.coderedcorp.com/cms/>`_ | `Source code on GitHub <https://github.com/coderedcorp/coderedcms>`_
  4. CRX, formerly known as CodeRed CMS, provides a large set of enhancements and
  5. pre-built components for Wagtail which are ready to use out-of-the box! This
  6. saves development time and avoids "re-inventing the wheel" by providing features
  7. commonly needed by websites:
  8. * Streamfield blocks and page templates for Bootstrap 5: rows, columns, hero
  9. units, carousels, buttons, modals, cards, and more!
  10. * Settings for adding logo, navigation, footer, and other common elements.
  11. * Rich set of SEO tagging attributes on each page.
  12. * Configurable Google Analytics and other tracking.
  13. * Robust form builder including the ability for multi-step forms, conditional
  14. logic, customized confirmation emails, MailChimp integration, and more.
  15. * Article pages for building blogs, news, etc.
  16. * Calendar and event pages.
  17. * Google Maps blocks, and store locator functionality.
  18. * Dynamic classifier system, for creating filterable categories.
  19. * Website search functionality, filterable by page type.
  20. * Style your site using SASS/SCSS directly from Django, without the need for
  21. Node.js
  22. Wagtail CRX is "just" Wagtail
  23. -----------------------------
  24. An important line of distinction is that Wagtail CRX is not a fork of Wagtail,
  25. or a competing version of Wagtail. It is simply a pip package which provides
  26. additional features on top of stock Wagtail you know and love.
  27. CRX is to Wagtail, what Wagtail is to Django. A set of additional features for
  28. web developers to save time and turn out high-quality websites. CRX is not a
  29. drag-n-drop or no-code solution (although many of the features do not require
  30. coding).
  31. Our motivation for making Wagtail CRX is to enable a developer to quickly build
  32. a Wagtail website by pulling in pre-built components which have been heavily
  33. tested and are guaranteed to work in a consistent way. This is why the project
  34. is tightly coupled with Bootstrap CSS. This is a boon for web development teams:
  35. rather than copy-pasting code from one project to the next, code is centralized
  36. in a generic way in CRX and can be reused by many sites. This also helps
  37. with maintenance and Wagtail upgrades --- bugs and upgrades can generally be
  38. implemented once in CRX then pushed out to all sites.
