finch-cms 0.8.3 (beta)

Simple but flexible CMS for django

Finch CMS is a simple to use but flexible CMS for django. It is also very simple to install and integrate into your django project.

First make sure you have a django project, preferably in a virtual environment. If you need help with that, check out the django tutorial.

To install the latest version from pypi:

$ pip install finch-cms

...

Edit settings.py. The easiest option is to include the following lines at the bottom:

from finch import monkeypatch_settings
monkeypatch_settings(locals())

If you prefer to update the settings manually look at finch.project_settings and the monkeypatch_settings function (finch/__init__.py).

Also add the following in your urls.py:

urlpatterns = patterns(
    ...
    url(r'^finch/', include('finch.urls')),
)

Finally run the following commands:

$ ./manage.py syncdb
$ ./manage.py make_homepage
$ ./manage.py runserver
