Oh cool, I didn't know about this video. Thanks. And I've done the basic 
Django tutorial. Though I'm gonna go thru it again to try and better 
understand Mezzanine site-making.

Also (and I know I've posted this a ton lately, but I think it's 
relevant) here's a talk describing the general steps I follow when 
building apps for Mezzanine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVAmMXES2EU


It touches on how to uses Mezzanine's models, admin, and template utilities.

Hi Tom.

You need to register your model in the admin. You can use 
mezzanine.blog.admin as an example: 
https://github.com/stephenmcd/mezzanine/blob/master/mezzanine/blog/admin.py.


This admin configuration is a bit complex, so I recommend you become

Re: [mezzanine-users] Newbie user -- How do I change where `about/` goes to?

2017-10-11 Thread Tom Tanner 
Hm, I'm still doing something wrong. Here's what 
`PROJECT/myTheme/theme/templates/about/about-canvas.html` looks like now:


{% extends "base.html" %}
{% load mezzanine_tags i18n %}


{% block meta_title %}
 {% if page %}
 {{ page.meta_title }}
 {% else %}
 {% trans "About" %}
 {% endif %}
{% endblock %}


TESTING HERE


{% include "includes/contact_form.html" %}


`PROJECT/myTheme/theme/templates/about/includes/contact_form.html still 
looks the same, though I did change the hyphens in the filenames to 
underscores, as you may notice. 

I copied the contact form HTML from one of the core Mezzanine templates, so 
I'm not totally sure what I'm doing. 

To give you a better idea of what I'm trying to do... If you open the Admin 
section of a new Mezzanine site, check out the "Pages" section. There's a 
"Contact" page. I'm trying to change that page into my "About" page. I'd 
like the page to include info about the site, along with the contact form 
that comes along with it by default. I thought copying the template at 
`mezzanine/forms/templates/pages/form.html` would help with this.

Just to let you guys know that I also really want/like this functionality.
For now, I'll either go for the jquery solution or inject an extra model

Re: [mezzanine-users] How to use mezzanine.forms?

2017-10-11 Thread Eduardo Rivas 

Hello Rainell.

mezzanine.forms is not a like django.forms. mezzanine.forms is meant for 
admin users to create forms from the admin. It is basically a "form 
builder" for your end users.


To use it make sure it is in you INSTALLED_APPS and in the admin create 
a new page of type "Form". When editing that page you'll see the inlines 
that allow users to create their custom forms.

Re: [mezzanine-users] Newbie user -- How do I change where `about/` goes to?

2017-10-11 Thread Joseph Mohan 
Your url has to match the filename (or vise-versa)

So in Content/Pages/About  In the Meta section, the Url should be /about-canvas
(http://127.0.0.1:8000/about-canvas)

*or*

Rename about-canvas.html to about.html

Also, always make sure to restart the development server when adding new
files.

Hope that helps
