Django Multilingual Tags
========================
A reusable Django app that allows you to add translatable tags to any other
model.
Installation
------------
To get the latest stable release from PyPi
.. code-block:: bash
pip install django-multilingual-tags
To get the latest commit from GitHub
.. code-block:: bash
pip install -e git+git://github.com/bitmazk/django-multilingual-tags.git#egg=multilingual_tags
Add ``multilingual_tags`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS``
.. code-block:: python
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...,
'multilingual_tags',
)
Don't forget to migrate your database
.. code-block:: bash
./manage.py migrate multilingual_tags
Usage
-----
Add a generic relation to the model, that you intend to tag.
.. code-block:: python
from django.contrib.contenttypes import generic
from django.db import models
class UserProfile(models.Model):
# ...
# some other model stuff goes here
# ...
special_attributes = generic.GenericRelation(
'multilingual_tags.TaggedItem',
)
Add the ``TaggingFormMixin`` to any of your modelforms of a model, you want to
tag and configure the field with the settings dictionary. ``allowed_tags``
configures how many tags a user may add. If it's set to 0 (default), it means,
that the input is not limited.
.. code-block:: python
from django import forms
from multilingual_tags.forms.mixins import TaggingFormMixin
class UserProfileForm(TaggingFormMixin, forms.ModelForm):
tag_field = {
# ``name`` is the name of the ``GenericRelation`` that was added to
# the model
'name': 'special_attributes',
'label': _('Special Attributes'),
'help_text': _('List any special attributes separated with comma.'),
'required': False,
'max_tags': 0,
}
The form mixin will automatically add ``data-class="multilingual-tags-field"``
to the form field. This allows you to easily add ``jquery-typeahead-tagging``
to your field, which is included in this app.
Simply add the static files from ``multilingual_tags`` to your template.
.. code-block:: html
{% load static %}
{# Plain Bootstrap-like styles. #}
<link href="{% static "multilingual_tags/css/typeahead.tagging.css" %}" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
{# You will also need jquery of course. #}
<script src="{% static "js/libs/jquery-1.9.1.js" %}"></script>
{# And then there's typeahead and the tagging plugin. #}
<script src="{% static "multilingual_tags/js/typeahead.bundle.min.js" %}"></script>
<script src="{% static "multilingual_tags/js/typeahead.tagging.js" %}"></script>
Then you can initialize your tagging field like so:
.. code-block:: javascript
// The source of the tags for autocompletion
var tagsource = ['Foo', 'Bar', 'Anoter Tag', 'Even more tags',
'Such autocomplete', 'Many tags', 'Wow'];
// Turn the input into the tagging input
$('[data-class="multilingual-tags-field"]').tagging(tagsource);
Et voila! That should really be all there is.
Storing the user
++++++++++++++++
For easier access later on, you can store the user, that the tagged item belongs
to on the ``TaggedItem`` itself. The form mixin will check if the instance of
the ``ModelForm`` you use it with has a ``get_user`` method for that matter.
.. code-block:: python
class MyObject(models.Model):
# here goes my model implementation
def get_user(self):
"""Here I can return the user I want on the TaggedItem"""
return self.user
Admin
+++++
To add tags to a model, you have to add the ``TaggedItemInline`` to
that model's admin. In your own apps, you can just do the following:
.. code-block:: python
from django.contrib import admin
from multilingual_tags.admin import TaggedItemInline
from my_app import models
class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
inlines = [TaggedItemInline]
admin.site.register(models.MyModel, MyModelAdmin)
This will render the inline admin form for adding tagged items.
If you want to add tags to a third party app, you might need to import its
admin instead of Django's ``ModelAdmin`` and then unregister and re-register
the model. One way to do it would be this:
.. code-block:: python
from django.contrib import admin
from multilingual_tags.admin import TaggedItemInline
from other_app.admin import SomeModelAdmin
from other_app.models import SomeModel
class SomeModelCustomAdmin(SomeModelAdmin):
# be careful, if the other admin also defines admins, you need to add
# them as well
inlines = SomeModelAdmin.inlines + [TaggedItemInline]
admin.site.unregister(SomeModel)
admin.site.register(SomeModel, SomeModelCustomAdmin)
To get all the tags for an object, you can simply use the `TagManager`:
.. code-block:: python
# Get all tags for a certain model instance
>> Tag.objects.get_for_obj(mymodel_instance)
[<Tag: mytag>, <Tag: myothertag>]
# .. or get all tags for an entire queryset
>> Tag.objects.get_for_queryset(MyModel.objects.all())
[<Tag: mytag>, <Tag: myothertag>]
