First django CMS user guide published

We are pleased to announce that we have published the first version of the brand new django CMS user guide.

5 minutes read

We would like to thank django CMS Association Member kapt.mobi, who created the user guide in French for their customers and gave us permission to make the guide available to the community.

This guide is an attempt to write a general user guide for django CMS. An attempt because it is in the nature of django CMS that no two website projects created with django CMS are alike. Due to its flexibility and modularity, django CMS websites are usually highly customized to the taste of each developer and user.

For now the user guide is only available as a Google doc file, but soon we will release a web version of it on readthedocs. Feel free to share this user guide among your clients and users and adjust it to your specific django CMS setup.

This is a WIP document

Therefore, you are welcome to send us your feedback to info@django-cms.org or join us for a chat via our support channels. Let's keep the user guide up to date.

Release

django CMS 5.1 is here: easier setup, flexible deployments, and a fresh editing experience

This release reduces friction across the whole project lifecycle: creating a new project, adding django CMS to an existing Django application, configuring larger deployments, controlling which plugins editors can use, and working with the CMS every day.

Release

django CMS 5.0.9 released: security, accessibility, and stability improvements

This release addresses three medium-severity security vulnerabilities and includes improvements to accessibility, Django compatibility, permissions, Content Security Policy support, and general editor stability.
