Creating Custom Profile and Tag | Django CMS Building By shriekdj
Table of contents
So Now I am Trying to Create 2 New Models for the CMS Which Are User Profile and Blog Tags but before That I Want to Say Some Reconfiguration Made By In The GitHub Repository During The Series.
I Just Renamed The Django Project from dj_admin
to config
because that should be correct to understand and run the project and Also I removed The save()
method of the Post Model
, slug
field of the Post Model
and random_words()
function because it was creating some errors while migrating the project.
So Now The Post Model
of the Django Looks Like This Now
# Create your models here.
class Post(models.Model):
id = models.BigAutoField(primary_key=True)
title = models.CharField(verbose_name='title', max_length=255, null=False)
content = models.TextField(verbose_name='content', null=False, blank=True)
created_at = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name='created_at',auto_now=True, auto_created=True, null=False, blank=False)
published_at = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name='published_at',null=True)
updated_at = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name='updated_at',null=True)
slug = models.SlugField(verbose_name='slug', max_length=50, unique=True)
After Creating The Blog Post Model We Should Need an Author / User Profile Model is Needed and Know That This Model Should Be Upside of the Post Model.
For Creating the User Profile We will import Auth User Model of the Django With one-to-one
field for using in our blog write below code Upside of the Post Model
.
from django.conf import settings
class Profile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(
settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,
on_delete=models.PROTECT,
)
website = models.URLField(blank=True)
bio = models.CharField(max_length=240, blank=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.user.get_username()
Here I added on_delete=models.PROTECT
to prevent deletion of the Profile.
Also Added Tag Model
To the blog
App between Profile Model
and Post Model
.
class Tag(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=50, unique=True, null=False)
slug = models.SlugField(verbose_name='slug', max_length=50, unique=True)
def __str__(self) -> str:
return self.name
I Also Added Some New Fields to the Post Model
named as subtitle
, meta_description
, is_published
as well as added author
as Foreign-Key
( we consider only one author to an post ) and tags
as Many to Many
Because Many Post Can Have Tags And Vice Versa.
After Updating the Post Model It Looks Like Given Below
# Create your models here.
class Post(models.Model):
id = models.BigAutoField(primary_key=True)
title = models.CharField(verbose_name='title', max_length=255, null=False)
subtitle = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True)
content = models.TextField(verbose_name='content', null=False, blank=True)
meta_description = models.CharField(max_length=150, blank=True)
created_at = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name='created_at',auto_now=True, auto_created=True, null=False, blank=False)
updated_at = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name='updated_at',null=True)
published_at = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name='published_at',null=True, blank=True)
is_published = models.BooleanField(verbose_name='is_published', default=False)
slug = models.SlugField(verbose_name='slug', max_length=50, unique=True)
author = models.ForeignKey(Profile, on_delete=models.PROTECT, default=None)
tags = models.ManyToManyField(Tag, blank=True)
We Also Need to Update admin.py
in blog to like given below.
from django.contrib import admin
# Register your models here.
from blog.models import Profile, Post, Tag
@admin.register(Profile)
class ProfileAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
model = Profile
@admin.register(Tag)
class TagAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
model = Tag
@admin.register(Post)
class PostAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
model = Post
list_display = (
"id",
"title",
"subtitle",
"slug",
"published_at",
"is_published",
)
list_filter = (
"is_published",
"published_at",
)
list_editable = (
"title",
"subtitle",
"slug",
"published_at",
"is_published",
)
search_fields = (
"title",
"subtitle",
"slug",
"body",
)
prepopulated_fields = {
"slug": (
"title",
"subtitle",
)
}
date_hierarchy = "published_at"
save_on_top = True
