Hi,
I am currently working on a plugin to create static pages. My idea: You can add a static page with a title and a text block from the admin control panel.
I am stuck at the control panel part. How do I make a plugin add new menu entries in the ACP? What are the hooks to use? Is it even possible yet?
I am a bloody beginner, so maybe I missed something obvious …
There are no hooks for that. Instead Misago scans installed Django apps (which plugins are too) for admin modules defining the MisagoAdminExtension class. This class can define two methods: register_navigation_nodes to add new items to admin menu, and register_urlpatterns to get new URLs.
Here's how such a file looks like: main admin.py
And here's a simpler one: acl's admin/__init__.py
This is kinda complicated and fucky tho, so in future I would like to replace it with a simpler logic. But not anytime so.
Thanks! That helped a lot.
Problem is, that an ACP view always seems to import "generic" from ....admin.views. In the misago docker installation there is no misago/admin/views, and thus I'm stuck again. What would be the solution here?
The plugin should really be usable in the misago docker releases...
Misago is installed as a python package during Docker build. It's available in Misago docker.
