django on appengine flatpages


Posted on Jun 9, 2008 by Swift Cat

Hi there,

sorry this is all pretty new to me. So maybe this is just an misunderstanding on my side. Here is what I want to do.

  • I use Django with Google AppEngine
  • I want to use Django flatpages to display static content
  • In my site setup I inherit from flatpages admin form and add TinyMCE to edit content (this works with Django)

As far as I understand in AppEngine the admin pages are different (only a subset is available). Are flatpages available at AppEngine-Django? How do I add the TinyMCE to the admin form?

Best regards, Mark Fink

From a quick glance flatpages will not work with Google App Engine as it uses database models which would need to be modified to work in the App Engine environment.

You are correct that the App Engine admin pages at /_ah/admin are different to the Django admin pages which are not supported.

If you want to get flatpages working with Google App Engine we would gladly accept a patch but it's not high on our priority list at this time.

Attached is a patch for django.contrib.flatpages support. Included is the patch for issue #102 adding django.contrib.sites but sites is not necessary for this fix.
