Designed to plug into Pinax easily.

Requires django-tagging

Here is a blog post about how to write reusable django apps with this project as an example.

Installation

Do

svn co http://django-books.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ books

somewhere on your python path. (/path/to/pinax/projects/complete_project/apps/ for example)

Add to INSTALLED_APPS tuple in settings.py

'books',

Add to urlpatterns in your main urls.py

(r'^books/', include('books.urls')),

On a page where you want to add a book to an object add the following code and all you have to do is change my_awesome_object_here to your template variable to attach the book to.

            <h2>Books</h2>
            {% load book_tags %}
            
            {% books_for_object my_awesome_object_here as books %}
            {% for book in books %}
                <p><a href="{{ book.get_absolute_url }}">{{ book }}</a> - {{ book.description }}</p> 
            {% endfor %}
            
            <h2>Add a book</h2>
            <form action="{% get_book_form_url my_awesome_object_here %}" method="post">
            {% book_form as form %}
            {{ form.as_p }}
            <input type="submit" value="Go" />
            </form>

Pinax Bonus

Here are some examples of Pinax project files that could be altered.

To add books to the listing of things that are tagged, add this to apps/tag_app/views.py in the top includes:

from books.models import Book

in the tags function:

book_tags = TaggedItem.objects.get_by_model(Book, tag).filter(deleted=False)

in the return dictionary:

'book_tags': book_tags,

And add this toward the end of templates/tags/index.html

    <h1>{% blocktrans %}All Books Matching <em>{{ tag }}</em>{% endblocktrans %}</h1>

    <table class="books">
        {% for book in book_tags %}
			<p><a href="{% url book_details book.id %}">{{ book.name }}</a></p>
			<p>{{ book.description }}</p>
			
        {% endfor %}
    </table>
