Plugins are the design principle of djpcms, without them there would be no system, just a collection of python scripts! Plugins are components that add capabilities to djpcms which, in turns, acts as a manager and placeholder for them. Adding your own is extremely simple as well as moving them around in a page.
Plugins are classes which derive from djpcms.plugins.DJPplugin, a straightforward python class. Plugins are not database models, they simply describe how content is displayed in a page and how users can interact with them. Thats it!
How do we tell djpcms to include our plugins?
Including plugins in your application is easy, simply add their dotted path to the DJPCMS_PLUGINS setting.
Hint
Great no database required for plugins.
How do we store them? djpcms.models.BlockContent
How do we add dynamic content? djpcms.views.appsite.ModelApplication
