=================== django CMS Transfer

|pypi| |build| |coverage|

django CMS Transfer is an experimental package that allows you to export and import plugin data from a page or a placeholder. It does not support foreign key relations and won't import/export related data, such as media <https://github.com/django-cms/djangocms-transfer/issues/18>_.

.. note::

    This project is endorsed by the `django CMS Association <https://www.django-cms.org/en/about-us/>`_.
    That means that it is officially accepted by the dCA as being in line with our roadmap vision and development/plugin policy.

Documentation

The setting DJANGO_CMS_TRANSFER_SERIALIZER allows to register a custom json serializer. An example for an use case could be to subclass Django's build-in python serializer and let it base64-encode inline image data base64.

See REQUIREMENTS in the setup.py <https://github.com/divio/djangocms-transfer/blob/master/setup.py>_ file for additional dependencies:

|python| |django| |djangocms|

Installation

For a manual install:

• run pip install djangocms-transfer
• add djangocms_transfer to your INSTALLED_APPS
• run python manage.py migrate djangocms_transfer

Customization

Following settings are available:

• DJANGOCMS_TRANSFER_PROCESS_EXPORT_PLUGIN_DATA:

  Enables processing of plugin instances prior to serialization, e.g. myapp.module.function.

• DJANGOCMS_TRANSFER_PROCESS_IMPORT_PLUGIN_DATA:

  Enables processing of plugin instances prior to saving, e.g. myapp.module.function. For example: set default-values for ForeignKeys (images for django_filer, ..)

As an example the combination of _PROCESS_EXPORT_PLUGIN_DATA and _PROCESS_IMPORT_PLUGIN_DATA lets you export and import the data between different systems while setting the contents as you need it::

# settings.py
.._PROCESS_EXPORT_PLUGIN_DATA = "myapp.some.module.export_function"
.._PROCESS_IMPORT_PLUGIN_DATA = "myapp.some.module.import_function"

# custom functions
def export_function(plugin, plugin_data):
    # remove child-plugins which can't be handled
    if plugin.parent_id and plugin.parent.plugin_type == "SomeParentPlugin":
        return None
    # change data
    if plugin.plugin_type == "SomePlugin":
        plugin_data["data"].update({
            "some_field": "TODO: change me",
        })
    return plugin_data

def import_function(deserialized_object):
    some_related_object = MyModel.objects.first()
    for field in deserialized_object.object._meta.fields:
        # example of setting a default value for a related field
        if isinstance(field, ForeignKey):
            value = getattr(deserialized_object.object, field.attname)
            if field.related_model == MyModel and value is not None:
                setattr(deserialized_object.object, field.name, some_related_object)

Running Tests

You can run tests by executing::

virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r tests/requirements/base.txt
python setup.py test

For code formatting, black is used. To automatically fix errors reported from black, you can install it via virtualenv and pip install -r tests/requirements/base.txt. After this you just need to run tools/black.
