From 63fd12bf3c40e3324b406576039d7c482fbf4b7c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Teddy Wing Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2014 16:52:52 -0400 Subject: README: convert from RDoc to Markdown Initially decided to use RDoc to be cheeky, but since there wasn't a good way to add local images to the README using RDoc, opting for Markdown instead so that I can include screenshots. --- README.md | 147 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 147 insertions(+) create mode 100644 README.md (limited to 'README.md') diff --git a/README.md b/README.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..daf8847 --- /dev/null +++ b/README.md @@ -0,0 +1,147 @@ +django-sneak-peek +================= + +A Django template tag that allows you to hide pre-release features but make them available to a select group of users. By adding the "sneak peek" permission to users on your site, you can allow people within your company or trusted individuals to try out and experiment with upcoming features in your application. + + +## Requirements +* Django + + Requires Django 1.4 or higher. Currently `django-sneak-peek` does not take advantage of the built-in migrations in Django 1.7, but I'll be updating the package to add support for them once 1.7 released. + +* South + + [South](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/South/0.8.4) is required for migrations. This package includes a data migration that adds a `ContentType` and an associated `Permission`. The permission is used to determine whether or not a user can view sneak peek content. + + +## Installation +1. Install via `pip`: + + $ pip install django-sneak-peek + +2. Add `sneak_peek_tag` to `INSTALLED_APPS` in `settings.py`: + + INSTALLED_APPS = ( + ... + 'sneak_peek_tag', + ... + ) + +3. Run migrations: + + $ python manage.py migrate sneak_peek_tag + +4. Run `collectstatic` to grab the CSS and image: + + $ python manage.py collectstatic + + +## Usage +`django-sneak-peek` defines a template tag called `sneak_peek`. Markup that you want to conditionally hide must be wrapped in this template tag. + +Add the `django-sneak-peek` CSS file to all pages where you plan to use the template tag: + + + +Load `sneak_peek` in your template: + + {% load sneak_peek %} + +Wrap secret markup in `sneak_peek` tags: + + {% sneak_peek %} +
+

Secret pre-release feature

+ +

+ This entire div will not appear in the HTML output unless the + current user has the sneak_peek permission. +

+
+ {% endsneak_peek %} + + +## User Permissions +In order to determine whether to output the markup, `django-sneak-peek` relies on the `sneak_peek_tag.can_view_sneak_peek` permission which is installed via the included migration. + +To allow a user to view sneak peek content, add this permission to their account. This can be done in the Django admin or via the shell: + + >>> from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType + >>> from django.contrib.auth.models import Permission + >>> + >>> content_type = ContentType.objects.get(app_label='sneak_peek_tag') + >>> permission = Permission.objects.get(content_type=content_type, codename='can_view_sneak_peek') + >>> + >>> user = User.objects.get(username='Homer') + >>> user.user_permissions.add(permission) + + +## Additional Options +Sneak peek works by wrapping your code in a `
` and applying styles to that wrapper with the `.django-sneak-peek` class and several modifiers. Modifiers change the appearance of the sneak peek block. + +Here are the available modifiers and different combinations thereof. + +### Default +By default, markup under sneak peek will appear with a yellow & black "under construction" border. + + {% sneak_peek %} +
+ +
+ {% endsneak_peek %} + +### Outline +Sets `border: none;` and uses an `outline` instead + + {% sneak_peek "outline" %} +
+ +
+ {% endsneak_peek %} + +### Borderless +Sets `border: none;`. Markup will appear without superfluous extra styles applied by `django-sneak-peek`, but will still be surrouded by an `
` wrapper (as always). + + {% sneak_peek "borderless" %} +
+ +
+ {% endsneak_peek %} + +### Inline +Sets `display: inline;` + + {% sneak_peek "borderless inline" %} +
+ +
+ {% endsneak_peek %} + +### Inline-Block +Sets `display: inline-block;` + + {% sneak_peek "default inline-block" %} +
+ +
+ {% endsneak_peek %} + + +## Customising +As you may have guessed, you can add custom display styles to `django-sneak-peek`. In addition to overriding the existing CSS classes, you can also create your own. + +Here's an example of a class you can add to your CSS to add custom styles to a sneak peek element: + + .django-sneak-peek.green-border { + border-color: green; + border-width: 5px; + } + +This custom class can be applied with: + + {% sneak_peek "green-border" %} + ... + {% endsneak_peek %} + + +## License -- cgit v1.2.3
