|
|
|
-want pages for our categories, a category itself is more of a metadata storage structure than a page,
|
|
|
-so it makes sense to make it a vanilla Django model. As a result, this exercise will also show
|
|
|
-how to integrate non-Wagtail models into the Wagtail workflow.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-As an aside, the ``BlogCategory`` model could easily live in a totally different app of your
|
|
|
-Django project, and just be imported normally into your Wagtail blog app. This would be important if you were, e.g.,
|
|
|
-integrating a Wagtail blog into a pre-existing Django site that already had a system of categories.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-We want to create a ManyToMany relationship between BlogCategory and BlogPage. In standard Django, we would do

-
|
|
|
-``categories = models.ManyToManyField(BlogCategory, blank=True)``
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-However, it's a bit trickier than that with Wagtail because of the ``modelcluster`` dependency it
|
|
|
-uses to maintain hierarchical relationships. ``modelcluster`` is at the heart of Wagtail, but does not
|
|
|
-support M2M relationships. Instead, we'll need to define the related table manually:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-.. code-block:: python
|
|

-

|
|
- class BlogCategoryBlogPage(Orderable, models.Model):

|
|
|
- page = ParentalKey(BlogPage, related_name='blog_categories')
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-This model's table will store relationships between blog pages and the categories assigned to them,
|
|
|
-effectively giving us the equivalent of a ManyToMany relationship. For readability, we named the class
|
|
|
-by concatenating the names of the two related models. The class also subclasses ``Orderable``,
|
|
|
-which means you'll be able to control the order of Categories on a blog post via the Wagtail admin.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Now we just need to attach a "panel" for the relationship to our BlogPost. In the ``BlogPost`` model,

-Rather than create another model for the new view, let's consider a category to be a "slice" of data exposed

-The ``@route`` decorator is new, but as you can see, it works pretty much the same as standard Django URLs,
|
|
|
-with a regex pattern matcher and a route name, which we'll use in a minute. The ``^cat...`` in the regex
|
|
|
-matches a URL pattern starting at the parent page, so in this case we're matching e.g.
|
|
|
-``/blog/cat/science.`` We query for a ``BlogCategory`` object (or 404), then use it to filter ``BlogPage``
|
|

-records, traversing through our "ManyToMany" table. Note that when using ``route,``
|
|
|
-we need to call Django's ``render()`` manually, specifying the template name.

|
-
|
|
|
-Since we want to display a nav menu including all non-empty categories, we also insert that queryset
|

|
-into the context (notice how the ``category()`` suburl calls ``get_context()`` before
|
|
|
-appending to context, so the categories list is available on all blog index views.)

|
-we loop through each of a blog post's categories (if it has any), and for each, we reverse the URL
|
|
|
-to the corresponding blog category view, using the URL we named earlier (``blog_category``), and
|
|
|
-passing in the slug of the current category. We also display the category name in the header.
|
|
|
-You'll probably want to do something similar on ``blog_page.html``.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-And with that, we've got both tags and categories working, and our categories system is nice and DRY
|
|
|
-because we used a single model (view) to handle both the blog's homepage and its category displays.
