In order for the documentation to be styled correctly, the generator
depends on indentation. Too much indentation can result in the content
being wrapped in a quote block, which looks bad.

Customising the editing interface
=================================
.. _customising_the_tabbed_interface:
Customising the tabbed interface
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As standard, Wagtail organises panels for pages into three tabs: 'Content', 'Promote' and 'Settings'. For snippets Wagtail puts all panels into one page. Depending on the requirements of your site, you may wish to customise this for specific page types or snippets - for example, adding an additional tab for sidebar content. This can be done by specifying an ``edit_handler`` attribute on the page or snippet model. For example:
.. code-block:: python
from wagtail.admin.edit_handlers import TabbedInterface, ObjectList
class BlogPage(Page):
# field definitions omitted
content_panels = [
FieldPanel('title', classname="full title"),
FieldPanel('date'),
FieldPanel('body', classname="full"),
]
sidebar_content_panels = [
SnippetChooserPanel('advert'),
InlinePanel('related_links', label="Related links"),
]
edit_handler = TabbedInterface([
ObjectList(content_panels, heading='Content'),
ObjectList(sidebar_content_panels, heading='Sidebar content'),
ObjectList(Page.promote_panels, heading='Promote'),
ObjectList(Page.settings_panels, heading='Settings', classname="settings"),
])
.. _rich-text:
Rich Text (HTML)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wagtail provides a general-purpose WYSIWYG editor for creating rich text content (HTML) and embedding media such as images, video, and documents. To include this in your models, use the :class:`~wagtail.core.fields.RichTextField` function when defining a model field:
.. code-block:: python
from wagtail.core.fields import RichTextField
from wagtail.admin.edit_handlers import FieldPanel
class BookPage(Page):
book_text = RichTextField()
content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
FieldPanel('body', classname="full"),
]
:class:`~wagtail.core.fields.RichTextField` inherits from Django's basic ``TextField`` field, so you can pass any field parameters into :class:`~wagtail.core.fields.RichTextField` as if using a normal Django field. This field does not need a special panel and can be defined with ``FieldPanel``.
However, template output from :class:`~wagtail.core.fields.RichTextField` is special and needs to be filtered in order to preserve embedded content. See :ref:`rich-text-filter`.
.. _rich_text_features:
Limiting features in a rich text field
--------------------------------------
By default, the rich text editor provides users with a wide variety of options for text formatting and inserting embedded content such as images. However, we may wish to restrict a rich text field to a more limited set of features - for example:
* The field might be intended for a short text snippet, such as a summary to be pulled out on index pages, where embedded images or videos would be inappropriate;
* When page content is defined using :ref:`StreamField <streamfield>`, elements such as headings, images and videos are usually given their own block types, alongside a rich text block type used for ordinary paragraph text; in this case, allowing headings and images to also exist within the rich text content is redundant (and liable to result in inconsistent designs).
This can be achieved by passing a ``features`` keyword argument to ``RichTextField``, with a list of identifiers for the features you wish to allow:
.. code-block:: python
body = RichTextField(features=['h2', 'h3', 'bold', 'italic', 'link'])
The feature identifiers provided on a default Wagtail installation are as follows:
* ``h1``, ``h2``, ``h3``, ``h4``, ``h5``, ``h6`` - heading elements
* ``bold``, ``italic`` - bold / italic text
* ``ol``, ``ul`` - ordered / unordered lists
* ``hr`` - horizontal rules
* ``link`` - page, external and email links
* ``document-link`` - links to documents
* ``image`` - embedded images
* ``embed`` - embedded media (see :ref:`embedded_content`)
We have few additional feature identifiers as well. They are not enabled by default, but you can use them in your list of identifiers. These are as follows:
* ``code`` - inline code
* ``superscript``, ``subscript``, ``strikethrough`` - text formatting
* ``blockquote`` - blockquote
The process for creating new features is described in the following pages:
* :doc:`./rich_text_internals`
* :doc:`./extending_draftail`
* :doc:`./extending_hallo`
.. _rich_text_image_formats:
Image Formats in the Rich Text Editor
-------------------------------------
On loading, Wagtail will search for any app with the file ``image_formats.py`` and execute the contents. This provides a way to customise the formatting options shown to the editor when inserting images in the :class:`~wagtail.core.fields.RichTextField` editor.
As an example, add a "thumbnail" format:
.. code-block:: python
# image_formats.py
from wagtail.images.formats import Format, register_image_format
register_image_format(Format('thumbnail', 'Thumbnail', 'richtext-image thumbnail', 'max-120x120'))
To begin, import the ``Format`` class, ``register_image_format`` function, and optionally ``unregister_image_format`` function. To register a new ``Format``, call the ``register_image_format`` with the ``Format`` object as the argument. The ``Format`` class takes the following constructor arguments:
``name``
The unique key used to identify the format. To unregister this format, call ``unregister_image_format`` with this string as the only argument.
``label``
The label used in the chooser form when inserting the image into the :class:`~wagtail.core.fields.RichTextField`.
``classnames``
The string to assign to the ``class`` attribute of the generated ``<img>`` tag.
.. note::
Any class names you provide must have CSS rules matching them written separately, as part of the front end CSS code. Specifying a ``classnames`` value of ``left`` will only ensure that class is output in the generated markup, it won't cause the image to align itself left.
``filter_spec``
The string specification to create the image rendition. For more, see the :ref:`image_tag`.
To unregister, call ``unregister_image_format`` with the string of the ``name`` of the ``Format`` as the only argument.
.. warning::
Unregistering ``Format`` objects will cause errors viewing or editing pages that reference them.
.. _custom_edit_handler_forms:
Customising generated forms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. class:: wagtail.admin.forms.WagtailAdminModelForm
.. class:: wagtail.admin.forms.WagtailAdminPageForm
Wagtail automatically generates forms using the panels configured on the model.
By default, this form subclasses :class:`~wagtail.admin.forms.WagtailAdminModelForm`,
or :class:`~wagtail.admin.forms.WagtailAdminPageForm` for pages.
A custom base form class can be configured by setting the :attr:`base_form_class` attribute on any model.
Custom forms for snippets must subclass :class:`~wagtail.admin.forms.WagtailAdminModelForm`,
and custom forms for pages must subclass :class:`~wagtail.admin.forms.WagtailAdminPageForm`.
This can be used to add non-model fields to the form, to automatically generate field content,
or to add custom validation logic for your models:
.. code-block:: python
from django import forms
from django.db import models
import geocoder # not in Wagtail, for example only - https://geocoder.readthedocs.io/
from wagtail.admin.edit_handlers import FieldPanel
from wagtail.admin.forms import WagtailAdminPageForm
from wagtail.core.models import Page
class EventPageForm(WagtailAdminPageForm):
address = forms.CharField()
def clean(self):
cleaned_data = super().clean()
# Make sure that the event starts before it ends
start_date = cleaned_data['start_date']
end_date = cleaned_data['end_date']
if start_date and end_date and start_date > end_date:
self.add_error('end_date', 'The end date must be after the start date')
return cleaned_data
def save(self, commit=True):
page = super().save(commit=False)
# Update the duration field from the submitted dates
page.duration = (page.end_date - page.start_date).days
# Fetch the location by geocoding the address
page.location = geocoder.arcgis(self.cleaned_data['address'])
if commit:
page.save()
return page
class EventPage(Page):
start_date = models.DateField()
end_date = models.DateField()
duration = models.IntegerField()
location = models.CharField(max_length=255)
content_panels = [
FieldPanel('title'),
FieldPanel('start_date'),
FieldPanel('end_date'),
FieldPanel('address'),
]
base_form_class = EventPageForm
Wagtail will generate a new subclass of this form for the model,
adding any fields defined in ``panels`` or ``content_panels``.
Any fields already defined on the model will not be overridden by these automatically added fields,
so the form field for a model field can be overridden by adding it to the custom form.
