Frontend Editing (Update)
We would like to give you a sneak preview of the upcoming new functionality in django CMS: Frontend editing. Checkout the screencast below:
Django CMS: Frontend editing from Django CMS on Vimeo. Some features:
- Template change
- Jump directly to the specific admin pages
- Add/edit/delete plugins
- Move plugins within or to another placeholder
Frontend editing works with all plugins. We will put the beta on github after the 2.0 release. Official release of this new functionality will be with version 2.1. So help us finish 2.0 as fast as possible :-). Let us know what you think about the new functionality. Thank you for your feedbacks and contributions!
