- FeinCMS 1.4 release notes
- =========================
- * FeinCMS supports more than one site from the same database with
- ``django.contrib.sites`` now. Thanks to Bojan Mihelac and Stephen Tyler
- for the work and insistence on this issue.
- * It is possible to customize the administration model inline used for
- content types. This means that it's possible to customize more aspects
- of content type editing and to reuse more behaviors from Django itself,
- such as ``raw_id_fields``.
- * FeinCMS has gained support for ``django-reversion``.
- * Reusing the media library in your own content types has become much
- easier than before. When using a
- ``feincms.module.medialibrary.fields.MediaFileForeignKey`` instead of
- the standard ``django.db.models.ForeignKey`` and adding the media file
- foreign key to ``raw_id_fields``, you get the standard Django behavior
- supplemented with a thumbnail if the media file is an image. This requires
- the next feature too, which is...
- * Custom ``InlineModelAdmin`` classes may be used for the content types now
- by adding a ``feincms_item_editor_inline`` attribute to the content type
- specifying the inline class to be used.
- * New projects should use ``feincms.content.medialibrary.v2.MediaFileContent``
- instead of ``feincms.content.medialibrary.models.MediaFileContent``. The
- argument ``POSITION_CHOICES`` and the corresponding field have been
- renamed to ``TYPE_CHOICES`` and ``type`` because that's a more fitting
- description of the intended use. The old and the new media file content
- should not be mixed; the hand-woven ``raw_id_fields`` support of the
- old media file content was not specific enough and interferes with
- Django's own ``raw_id_fields`` support.
- * FeinCMS has gained a preview feature for pages which shouldn't be
- accessible to the general public yet. Just add the following line
- above the standard FeinCMS handler::
- url(r'', include('feincms.contrib.preview.urls')),
- Another button will be automatically added in the page item editor.
- Apart from all these new features a few cleanups have been made:
- * FeinCMS 1.2 removed the CKEditor-specific rich text content in favor of a
- generalized rich text content supporting different rich text editors.
- Unfortunately the documentation and the available settings only reflected
- this partially. This has been rectified. Support for ``TINYMCE_JS_URL``,
- ``FEINCMS_TINYMCE_INIT_TEMPLATE`` and ``FEINCMS_TINYMCE_INIT_CONTEXT`` has
- been completely removed. The two settings ``FEINCMS_RICHTEXT_INIT_CONTEXT``
- and ``FEINCMS_RICHTEXT_INIT_TEMPLATE`` should be used instead. See the
- :ref:`contenttypes` documentation for more details.
- * The two settings ``FEINCMS_MEDIALIBRARY_ROOT`` and
- ``FEINCMS_MEDIALIBRARY_URL`` have been removed. Their values always
- defaulted to ``MEDIA_ROOT`` and ``MEDIA_URL``. The way they were used
- made it hard to support other storage backends in the media library.
- If you still need to customize the storage class used in the media
- library have a look at ``MediaFile.reconfigure``.
- * Support for the ``show_on_top`` option for the ``ItemEditor`` has been
- completely removed. This functionality has been deprecated since 1.2.
- * A few one-line Page manager methods which were too similar to each other
- have been deprecated. They will be removed in the next release of FeinCMS.
- This concerns ``page_for_path_or_404``, ``for_request_or_404``,
- ``best_match_for_request`` and ``from_request``. The improved
- ``for_request`` method should cover all bases.
- * A few page methods have been deprecated. This concerns ``active_children``,
- ``active_children_in_navigation`` and ``get_siblings_and_self``. The useful
- bits are already available through Django's own related managers.
