What's new

Object usage information on deleting objects

On deleting a page, image, document or snippet, the confirmation screen now provides a summary of where the object is used, allowing users to see the effect that deletion will have elsewhere on the site. This also prevents objects from being deleted in cases where deletion would be blocked by an on_delete=PROTECT constraint. This feature was developed by Sage Abdullah.

Custom validation support for StreamField

Support for adding custom validation logic to StreamField blocks has been formalised and simplified. For most purposes, raising a ValidationError from the block's clean method is now sufficient; more complex behaviours (such as attaching errors to a specific child block) are possible through block-specific subclasses of ValidationError. For more details, see . This feature was developed by Matt Westcott.

Upgrade considerations

Removal of deprecated features

The following features deprecated in Wagtail 3.0 have been fully removed. See Wagtail 3.0 release notes for details on these changes, including how to remove usage of these features:

  • The modules wagtail.core, wagtail.tests, wagtail.admin.edit_handlers and wagtail.contrib.forms.edit_handlers are removed.
  • The field panel classes StreamFieldPanel, RichTextFieldPanel, ImageChooserPanel, DocumentChooserPanel and SnippetChooserPanel are removed.
  • StreamField definitions must include use_json_field=True (with the exception of migrations created prior to Wagtail 5.0).
  • The BASE_URL setting is no longer recognised.
  • The ModelAdmin.get_form_fields_exclude method is no longer passed a request argument.
  • The ModelAdmin.get_edit_handler method is no longer passed a request or instance argument.
  • The widget_overrides, required_fields, required_formsets, bind_to, render_as_object and render_as_field methods on Panel (previously EditHandler) are removed.

The following features deprecated in Wagtail 4.0 have been fully removed. See Wagtail 4.0 release notes for details on these changes, including how to remove usage of these features:

  • The wagtail.contrib.settings.models.BaseSetting class is removed.
  • The Page.get_latest_revision_as_page method is removed.
  • The page and page_id properties and as_page_object method on Revision are removed.
  • The JavaScript functions createPageChooser, createSnippetChooser, createDocumentChooser and createImageChooser are removed.
  • The wagtail.contrib.modeladmin.menus.SubMenu class is removed.

  • The wagtail.admin.widgets.chooser.AdminChooser class is removed.
  • The wagtail.snippets.views.snippets.get_snippet_edit_handler function is removed.

Page.get_static_site_paths method removed

The undocumented Page.get_static_site_paths method (which returns a generator of URL paths for use by static site generator packages) has been removed. Packages relying on this functionality should provide their own fallback implementation.

wagtailsearch.Query has moved to wagtail.contrib.search_promotions

The wagtailsearch.Query model has been moved from the search application to the contrib application wagtail.contrib.search_promotions. All imports will need to be updated and migrations will need to be run via a custom command, some imports will still work with a warning until a future version.

Migration command

If you have daily hits records in the wagtailsearch.Query you can run the management command to move these records to the new location.

./manage.py copy_daily_hits_from_wagtailsearch

Import updates

Import Old import New import
Query Model from wagtail.search.models import Query from wagtail.contrib.search_promotions.models import Query
QueryForm from wagtail.search.forms import QueryForm from wagtail.contrib.search_promotions.forms import QueryForm

Changes to header CSS classes in ModelAdmin templates

If there are custom styles in place for the ModelAdmin's header content or more complex template overrides in us, there are a few changes for the following classes to be aware of.

Content Old classes New classes
Heading & search (contains h1) .left.header-left .left
Action buttons (header_extra) .right.header-right .right

Slug field widget required for auto-formatting

The slug field JavaScript behaviour was previously attached to any field with an ID of id_slug, this has now changed to be any field with the appropriate HTML data attributes.

If using a custom edit handler or set of panels for page models, the correct widget will now need to be used for these data attributes to be included. This widget will use the WAGTAIL_ALLOW_UNICODE_SLUGS Django setting.

from wagtail.admin.widgets.slug import SlugInput
# ... other imports

class MyPage(Page):
    promote_panels = [
        FieldPanel("slug", widget=SlugInput),
        # ... other panels
    ]

Additionally, the slug behaviour can be attached to any field easily by including the following attributes in HTML or via Django's widget attrs.

<input
    type="text"
    name="slug"
    data-controller="w-slug"
    data-action="blur->w-slug#slugify"
/>

To allow unicode values, add the data attribute value;

<input
    type="text"
    name="slug"
    data-controller="w-slug"
    data-action="blur->w-slug#slugify"
    data-w-slug-allow-unicode="true"
/>

Progress button (button-longrunning) now implemented with Stimulus

The button-longrunning class usage has been updated to use the newly adopted Stimulus approach, the previous data attributes will be deprecated in a future release.

If using the old approach, ensure any HTML templates are updated to the new approach before the next major release.

Old syntax

<button type="submit" class="button action-save button-longrunning" data-clicked-text="{% trans 'Creating…' %}">
  {% icon name="spinner" %}
  <em>{% trans 'Create' %}</em>
</button>

New syntax

Minimum required attributes are data-controller and a data-action.

<button type="submit" class="button action-save button-longrunning" data-controller="w-progress" data-action="w-progress#activate" data-w-progress-active-value="{% trans 'Creating…' %}">
  {% icon name="spinner" %}
  <em data-w-progress-target="label">{% trans 'Create' %}</em>
</button>

Examples of additional capabilities

Stimulus targets and actions can be leveraged to revise the behaviour via data attributes.

  • <button ... data-w-progress-duration-value="500" ...> - custom duration can be declared on the element
  • <button ... class="custom-button" data-w-progress-active-class="custom-button--busy" ...> - custom 'active' class to replace the default button-longrunning-active (must be a single string without spaces)
  • <button ... ><strong data-w-progress-target="label">{% trans 'Create' %}</strong></button> - any element can be the button label (not just em)
  • <button ... data-action="w-progress#activate focus->w-progress#activate" ...> - any event can be used to trigger the in progress behaviour
  • <button ... data-action="w-progress#activate:once" ...> - only trigger the progress behaviour once
  • <button ... data-action="readystatechange@document->w-progress#activate:once" data-w-progress-duration-value="5000" disabled ...> - disabled on load (once JS starts) and becomes enabled after 5s duration

JavaScript window.addMessages replaced with event dispatching

The undocumented window.addMessage function is no longer available and will throw an error if called, if similar functionality is required use DOM Event dispatching instead as follows.

// old
window.addMessage('success', 'Content has updated');

// new
document.dispatchEvent(
    new CustomEvent('w-messages:add', {
        detail: { text: 'Content has updated', type: 'success' },
    }),
);
// new (clearing existing messages before adding a new one)
document.dispatchEvent(
    new CustomEvent('w-messages:add', {
        detail: {
            clear: true,
            text: 'All content has updated',
            type: 'success',
        },
    }),
);
// message types 'success', 'error', 'warning' are supported

Note that this event name may change in the future and this functionality is still not officially supported.

Changes to StreamField ValidationError classes

The client-side handling of StreamField validation errors has been updated. The JavaScript classes StreamBlockValidationError, ListBlockValidationError, StructBlockValidationError and TypedTableBlockValidationError have been removed, and the corresponding Python classes can no longer be serialised using Telepath. Instead, the setError methods on client-side block objects now accept a plain JSON representation of the error, obtained from the as_json_data method on the Python class. Custom JavaScript code that works with these objects must be updated accordingly.

Additionally, the Python StreamBlockValidationError, ListBlockValidationError, StructBlockValidationError and TypedTableBlockValidationError classes no longer provide a params dict with block_errors and non_block_errors items; these are now available as the attributes block_errors and non_block_errors on the exception itself (or cell_errors and non_block_errors in the case of TypedTableBlockValidationError).

Snippets delete-multiple view removed

The ability to remove multiple snippet instances from the DeleteView and the undocumented wagtailsnippets_{app_label}_{model_name}:delete-multiple URL pattern have been removed. The view's functionality has been replaced by the delete action of the bulk actions feature introduced in Wagtail 4.0.

The delete bulk action view now also calls the {before,after}_delete_snippet hooks, in addition to the {before,after}_bulk_action hooks.

If you have customised the IndexView and/or DeleteView views in a SnippetViewSet subclass, make sure that the delete_multiple_url_name attribute is renamed to delete_url_name.
