Templates Admin is a tiny, nifty application for your Django_ project to edit your templates, that are stored on your disk, via an admin interface.

Originally this app was inspired by dbtemplates_.

.. _Django: http://www.djangoproject.com/ .. _dbtemplates: http://code.google.com/p/django-dbtemplates/

1. Put templatesadmin into your INSTALLED_APPS setting.

2. Create a group TemplateAdmins and put all users in there, who should been able to edit templates. You don't need to grant any permissions to that group. Just call it TemplateAdmins.

   Admins don't need to belong this group. The group name is case-sensitive!

3. Make media/templatesadmin/ available in your MEDIA_PATH.

4. Point your webbrowser to http://localhost/admin/templatesadmin/ and start editing.

There are some settings that you can override in your settings.py:

1. TEMPLATESADMIN_GROUP: The name of your group of your TemplatesAdmin Users.

   Default: TemplateAdmins

2. TEMPLATESADMIN_VALID_FILE_EXTENSIONS: A tuple of file-extensions (without the leading dot) that are editable by TemplatesAdmin.

   Default::

   TEMPLATESADMIN_VALID_FILE_EXTENSIONS = ( 'html', 'htm', 'txt', 'js', 'css', 'backup' )

3. TEMPLATESADMIN_TEMPLATE_DIRS: A tuple of directories you want your users to edit, instead of all templates.

   Default: All user-defined and application template-dirs.

4. TEMPLATEADMIN_USE_RICHEDITOR: A boolean to use rich CodeMirror -
   http://codemirror.net/ editor.

   Default: True

5. TEMPLATESADMIN_HIDE_READONLY: A boolean to wether enable or disable displaying of read-only templates.

   Default: False

6. TEMPLATESADMIN_EDITHOOKS: A tuple of callables edithooks. Edithooks are a way to interact with changes made on a template. Think of a plugin system.

   There are four builtin edithooks:

   • dotbackupfiles.DotBackupFilesHook: Creates a copy of the original file before overwriting, naming it <oldname>.backup.
   • gitcommit.GitCommitHook: Commits your templates after saving via git version control.
   • hgcommit.HgCommitHook: Creates a mercurial <http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/>_ commit after saving.
   • svncommit.SvnCommitHook: Commits your templates after saving via svn.

   You can define your own edithooks, see above hooks as example.

   Default::

   TEMPLATESADMIN_EDITHOOKS = (
   'templatesadmin.edithooks.dotbackupfiles.DotBackupFilesHook', )
