Djpcms is a dynamic Content Management System which uses Python with django on the server side and Javascript with jQuery on the browser side. It is designed to handle dynamic applications which require high level of customization. Lots of AJAX enabled features including inline editing, autocomplete and ajax forms.

It is based on django, but it works for other object relational mappers too!

Features

• Dynamic pages based on database models, not only django models!

• If you need more than django and stdnet models, register your model type and off you go:

  from djpcms.core.models import ModelTypeWrapper, register
  
  class MyModelType(ModelTypeWrapper):
  
      def setup(self):
          '''Set up your model type for djpcms interaction'''
  
      def test(self, model):
          '''test if model is a type handled by this wrapper'''
  
  register('mymodeltype',MyModelType)
  

• Extendible using plugins:

  from djpcms.plugins import DJPplugin
  
  class MyPlugin(DJPplugin):
  
      def render(self, djp, **kwargs):
          ...
  

• Inline editing of plugins and pages.

• Autocomplete for models when the autocomplete view is added to the model application.

• Extendible AJAX decorators.

• Tagging with django-tagging (optional).

• Several battery included application classes.

• Integration of any Django app which provides urls.py.

• Nice form layout with extendible uniforms.

• Deployment tools using fabric.

• South support for database migration.

• Sitemap design.
