Flask-CMS

Extensible Content Management System for Flask with Pages, Blogs and Comments.

We are in the early stages of developing a simple yet highly extensible CSM for Flask.

Out-of-the box, it will offer management of Pages, Blogs and Comments. Custom objects can be built on top of an extensible CMS framework.

Design Goals

  • Offer a ready-to-use CMS that is customizable and extensible.
  • Offer it as an extension to an existing Flask applications (and NOT as an application itself).
  • Be agnostic regarding the existing User model.
  • Offer base CmsObject and CmsComment objects that can be extended easily.
  • Offer CmsPage and CmsBlog objects out-of-the-box (derived from CmsObject)
  • Allow custom objects to derive from CmsObject, CmsPage, CmsBlog or other custom objects
  • Rely on SQLAlchemy and its Polymorphic tables.
  • Provide WYSIWYG editor for content, consider MarkDown and ReStructuredText later.

Design limitations

  • We are deliberately taking a minimalistic approach and are NOT aiming to build a Wordpress, Drupal or Joomla alternative (but such alternatives could be built on top of the Flask-CMS framework)

Status
