- ===========
- User Manual
- ===========
- django Organice is composend of the following main components:
- #. `Content Management`_ (Cms)
- #. `Blog`_ (Zinnia)
- #. `Newsletter`_
- `Content Management`:index:
- ===========================
- Editing your website is not much different from surfing the web. When you're logged in to your website you will have
- the django CMS toolbar on top of the page. Slide the "Edit mode" button to the "ON" state, and some elements of the
- page you're currently on start having additional toolbars to add and edit content in those areas.
- You can safely modify content on the page without the website to change. Only you can see the changes, and only as
- long as you are in Edit mode. When you're happy with the changes press the blue "Publish" button on the django CMS
- toolbar to make your version visible to the world.
- For more technical tasks like creating a navigation structure, adding pages, etc. the django CMS toolbar redirects you
- to the Django administration interface. Want to have an upfront first impression before using it? Check out the
- (slightly outdated) django CMS `video on frontend-editing`_.
- `Blog`:index:
- =============
- Writing and publishing interesting articles now and then is called "blogging". It's very similar to the usual editing
- of your website, but still it's different because you get more features as a natural add-on: Categories, tagging,
- comments, publication dates, archives (yearly, monthly, daily), related entries, RSS feeds, etc.
- On your website you simply go to the Blog area, and click on the "Add" link, which is available when you're logged in.
- In the blog entry editor you have all functionality you already know from the content management section. Modifying
- existing blog entries works identical to the usual content changes on your website with the exception of publishing,
- which is not available with an intermediate draft step: All your changes are immediately visible online.
- Note that in django Organice we also use the blog functionality for other use cases that are very similar to the usual
- blogging, such as event agendas, job postings, press releases, download lists, etc.
- `Newsletter`:index:
- ===================
- Sending out news or updates to a circle of friends or customers is managed by the Newsletter component, which is
- available from the Django administration interface when you're logged in to your website. Simply click on
- "Admin > Site Administration" on the django CMS toolbar, and go to the Newsletter section in Django administration.
- This component has a couple of powerful features. It's best explained having you watch the interesting French
- `overview video`_ from the Emencia website.
