= 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 Requires Django 1.4 or higher. Currently not configured for Django 1.7, but I'll be updating the package to add support for it once released. {South}[https://pypi.python.org/pypi/South/0.8.4] is required for migrations. django-sneak-peek includes a data migration that adds a ContentType and 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 gets 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 is hidden from users who don't have 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 By default, markup under sneak peek will appear with a yellow and black "under construction" border: ## Screenshot ## Sneak peek works by wrapping your code in a
and applying styles to that element 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. === Outline === Borderless === Inline === Inline-Block == CSS Class Modifiers * Default: Yellow & black "under construction" border * .outline: Sets border: none; and uses an outline instead * .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). * .inline: Sets display: inline; * .inline-block: Sets display: inline-block; == 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
