There are various packages and frameworks built around Django to provide more functionality. In this article, we are going to learn about one such software &#8211; The Django CMS. It is a framework specializing in content management.<\/p>\n<p>There are various benefits of using Django CMS over Django. A CMS is a system that lets users manage various types of content. We will discuss them one by one. In the last section of this tutorial, we will install Django CMS ourselves. So, let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n<h4>What is a CMS?<\/h4>\n<p>A CMS is a Content Management System. This system lets its user add, modify and delete the content as per user\u2019s will. The content we are talking about is digital content. It includes text, images. This article is a perfect example of that kind of content.<\/p>\n<p>The CMS provides an interface that can be easily used by clients to maintain their websites. The client need not be familiar with backend technologies. A CMS, in short, provides the client-user an interface to easily add, modify and remove the content. Also, it provides the tools to publish the content.<\/p>\n<h4>Django CMS Tutorial<\/h4>\n<p>Before starting, let&#8217;s first see the reasons to choose the Django CMS.<\/p>\n<h4>Why Django CMS?<\/h4>\n<p>It is number 1 in the industry right now. Django CMS is an Enterprise-grade Management System for content. It was awarded the Best Open Source CMS of 2015. Django utilizes all its features. That itself is very powerful. The extra functionality you get for publishing and content management is awesome.<\/p>\n<p>Django CMS is trusted by many popular organizations. You will be surprised but it is used by NASA, National Geographic, etc.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/companies-using-django-CMS.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-72296\" src=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/companies-using-django-CMS.png\" alt=\"companies using django CMS\" width=\"1234\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/companies-using-django-CMS.png 1234w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/companies-using-django-CMS-150x63.png 150w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/companies-using-django-CMS-300x126.png 300w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/companies-using-django-CMS-768x324.png 768w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/companies-using-django-CMS-1024x432.png 1024w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/companies-using-django-CMS-520x219.png 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1234px) 100vw, 1234px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You will be astonished by how much features Django CMS can add to your website. There are many plugins that you can add on top of Django CMS.<\/p>\n<p>Django CMS boasts an awesome marketplace for plugins. Currently, Django-CMS has released its latest version 3.7. We will be working with version 3.6 which is stable at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, now let\u2019s start installing the project. We will discuss various plugins along with the installation.<\/p>\n<h4>Installing Django CMS<\/h4>\n<p>Now, we will make a new virtual environment for this purpose. Execute this command:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>$ virtualenv dataflairdjangocms<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Then move into that folder and activate the environment.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>$ .\\dataflairdjangocms\\Scripts\\activate.bat &amp;&amp; cd dataflairdjangocms\\<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Making-a-virtual-environment.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-72184\" src=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Making-a-virtual-environment.png\" alt=\"Making a virtual environment - Django CMS\" width=\"1920\" height=\"972\" srcset=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Making-a-virtual-environment.png 1920w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Making-a-virtual-environment-150x76.png 150w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Making-a-virtual-environment-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Making-a-virtual-environment-768x389.png 768w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Making-a-virtual-environment-1024x518.png 1024w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Making-a-virtual-environment-520x263.png 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now, execute this command:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>$ pip install django-cms<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>This command will install Django and other important packages you would require.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Installing-Django-CMS.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-72185\" src=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Installing-Django-CMS.png\" alt=\"Installing Django CMS \" width=\"1920\" height=\"972\" srcset=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Installing-Django-CMS.png 1920w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Installing-Django-CMS-150x76.png 150w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Installing-Django-CMS-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Installing-Django-CMS-768x389.png 768w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Installing-Django-CMS-1024x518.png 1024w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Installing-Django-CMS-520x263.png 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As you can see, we will get these packages installed in our environment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Packages-installed.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-72186\" src=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Packages-installed.png\" alt=\"Packages installed - Django CMS\" width=\"876\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Packages-installed.png 876w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Packages-installed-150x62.png 150w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Packages-installed-300x124.png 300w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Packages-installed-768x318.png 768w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Packages-installed-520x215.png 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 876px) 100vw, 876px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We have a lot of packages here.

We will also look at some of the code we are adding here.<\/p>\n<h4>Installing Applications<\/h4>\n<p>We need to install some basic applications in our project. These apps are required for Django-cms to work in our project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Code:<\/strong><\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"null\">INSTALLED_APPS = [\r\n# At the top before dajngo.contrib.admin\r\n    'djangocms_admin_style',\r\n#\r\n# Other default applications\r\n#\r\n# DataFlair # Django CMS # At last also install these applications\r\n    'django.contrib.sites',\r\n    'cms',\r\n    'menus',\r\n    'treebeard',]\r\n# Site_id Setup\r\nSITE_ID = 1\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Installing-Applications-.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-72187\" src=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Installing-Applications-.png\" alt=\"Installing Applications - Django CMS Tutorial\" width=\"1920\" height=\"976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Installing-Applications-.png 1920w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Installing-Applications--150x76.png 150w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Installing-Applications--300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Installing-Applications--768x390.png 768w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Installing-Applications--1024x521.png 1024w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Installing-Applications--520x264.png 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Django CMS needs <strong>django.contrib.sites<\/strong> package. To use that we need another variable <strong>SITE_ID<\/strong>. Keeping it 1 will be beneficial for us.<\/p>\n<p>Apps like <strong>cms<\/strong> and <strong>menus<\/strong> are core Django CMS packages. <strong>django-treebeard<\/strong> is an app that manages page and plugin tree structures. The <strong>djangocms_admin_style<\/strong> app provides an easier UI for the administration component. It overrides the <strong>base_site.html<\/strong> of Django Admin.<\/p>\n<h4>Language Settings for Django CMS<\/h4>\n<p>Django CMS requires the language setup. We will simply modify the default one and paste some additional code.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Code:<\/strong><\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"null\">LANGUAGES = [\r\n    ('en', 'English'),\r\n    ('de', 'German'),\r\n]<\/pre>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Language-Setup.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-72188\" src=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Language-Setup.png\" alt=\"Language Setup - Django CMS\" width=\"1920\" height=\"976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Language-Setup.png 1920w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Language-Setup-150x76.png 150w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Language-Setup-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Language-Setup-768x390.png 768w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Language-Setup-1024x521.png 1024w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Language-Setup-520x264.png 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also, change the <strong>Language_Code<\/strong> from<strong> \u2018en-us\u2019<\/strong> to <strong>\u2018en\u2019<\/strong>. This is required to match the code. You will see this come up in urls.<\/p>\n<p>This is one of the strategies of Django CMS to keep the website international. This will help you if your website has multiple languages.<\/p>\n<h4>Migrate to Database<\/h4>\n<p>This is an important part of the application. We will apply migrations to the Django CMS database. Generally, databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL are preferred. We can test ours with SQLite.<\/p>\n<p>Execute these commands in order:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>$ python manage.py migrate<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Migrating-changes-to-Database.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-72189\" src=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Migrating-changes-to-Database.png\" alt=\"Migrating changes to Database - Django CMS\" width=\"1920\" height=\"972\" srcset=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Migrating-changes-to-Database.png 1920w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Migrating-changes-to-Database-150x76.png 150w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Migrating-changes-to-Database-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Migrating-changes-to-Database-768x389.png 768w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Migrating-changes-to-Database-1024x518.png 1024w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Migrating-changes-to-Database-520x263.png 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There will be a long list of migrations. The Django Content Management System has some of its own tables.<\/p>\n<h4>Create a Superuser<\/h4>\n<p>Superuser will be important in the case of Django CMS.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>$ python manage.py createsuperuser<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Creating-superuser.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-72190\" src=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Creating-superuser.png\" alt=\"Creating superuser - Django CMS\" width=\"856\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Creating-superuser.png 856w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Creating-superuser-150x41.png 150w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Creating-superuser-300x82.png 300w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Creating-superuser-768x209.png 768w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Creating-superuser-520x142.png 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 856px) 100vw, 856px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then we can run one more awesome CLI command. This command will look for errors in settings.py file. These errors will be regarding the installation of applications.<\/p>\n<h4>Installing Sekizai and other important packages<\/h4>\n<p>There are some important packages that are needed by Django CMS. When we execute this command, we get:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>$ python manage.py cms check<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Checking-CMS-for-Errors.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-72191\" src=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Checking-CMS-for-Errors.png\" alt=\"Checking CMS for Errors - Django CMS Tutorial\" width=\"1920\" height=\"972\" srcset=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Checking-CMS-for-Errors.png 1920w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Checking-CMS-for-Errors-150x76.png 150w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Checking-CMS-for-Errors-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Checking-CMS-for-Errors-768x389.png 768w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Checking-CMS-for-Errors-1024x518.png 1024w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Checking-CMS-for-Errors-520x263.png 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This output is provided by the CLI. There is A list of errors that need to be resolved. So, let\u2019s tackle them one by one.<\/p>\n<p>The first error can be resolved by installing the <strong>Sekizai<\/strong> package. Sekizai is a Japanese word. Its literal meaning in Japanese is blocks. It works for the literal meaning of its name.

The rendered block will load the HTML blocks code. The name can change according to the user. Django Content Management System by-default gives CSS and js tags.<\/p>\n<p>It defines these HTML blocks which contain its CSS and JavaScript files. It is recommended that the <strong>CSS<\/strong> tag is used just before <strong>&lt;\/head&gt;<\/strong>. Similarly, <strong>js<\/strong> tag be used just before <strong>&lt;\/body&gt;<\/strong> tag.<\/p>\n<p>The other {% cms_toolbar %} will load the django cms toolbar.<strong> {% placeholder %}<\/strong> tag shall be present in the template to be useful for Django CMS.
