| Django-precise-bbcode is a Django application providing a way to create textual contents based on BBCodes.
BBCode is a special implementation of HTML. BBCode itself is similar in style to HTML, tags are enclosed in square brackets [ and ] rather than < and > and it offers greater control over what and how something is displayed.
This application includes a BBCode compiler aimed to render any BBCode content to HTML and allows the use of BBCodes tags in models, forms and admin forms. The BBCode parser comes with built-in tags (the default ones ; b
, u
, etc) and allows the use of smilies, custom BBCode placeholders and custom BBCode tags. These can be added in two different ways:
.. contents:: Table of Contents :local:
Online browsable documentation is available at https://django-precise-bbcode.readthedocs.org.
Just run:
::
pip install django-precise-bbcode
Once installed you can configure your project to use django-precise-bbcode with the following steps.
Add precise_bbcode
to INSTALLED_APPS
in your project's settings module:
.. code-block:: python
INSTALLED_APPS = ( # other apps 'precise_bbcode', )
Then install the models:
.. code-block:: shell
python manage.py migrate
Rendering bbcodes
Django-precise-bbcode comes with a BBCode parser that allows you to transform a textual content containing BBCode tags to the corresponding HTML markup. To do this, simply import the get_parser
shortcut and use the render
method of the BBCode parser::
from precise_bbcode.bbcode import get_parser parser = get_parser() parser.render('[b]Hello [u]world![/u][/b]') 'Hello world!'
It's that easy!
As you may need to render bbcodes inside one of your Django template, this parser can be used as a template filter or as a template tag after loading bbcode_tags
::
{% load bbcode_tags %} {% bbcode entry.bbcode_content %} {{ "[b]Write some bbcodes![/b]"|bbcode }}
The BBCode content included in the entry.bbcode_content
field will be converted to HTML and displayed. The last statement will output <strong>Write some bbcodes!</strong>
.
Storing bbcodes
While you can use the Django built-in models.TextField
to add your BBCode contents to your models, a common need is to store both the BBCode content and the corresponding HTML markup in the database. To address this django-precise-bbcode provides a BBCodeTextField
.
.. code-block:: python
from django.db import models from precise_bbcode.fields import BBCodeTextField
class Post(models.Model): content = BBCodeTextField()
This field will store both the BBCode content and the correspondign HTML markup. The HTML content of such a field can then be displayed in any template by using its rendered
attribute:
::
{{ post.content.rendered }}
