Display page’s content in templates

Django page CMS provide several ready to use template tags. To use these tags in your templates you must load them first:

{% load pages_tags %}

get_content

Store a content type from a page into a context variable that you can reuse after:

{% get_content current_page "title" as content %}

You can also use the slug of a page:

{% get_content "my-page-slug" "title" as content %}

You can also use the id of a page:

{% get_content 10 "title" as content %}

Note

You can use either the page object, the slug, or the id of the page.

show_content

Output the content of a page directly within the template:

{% show_content current_page "title" %}

Note

You can use either the page object, the slug, or the id of the page.

get_page

Retrieve a Page object and store it into a context variable that you can reuse after. Here is an example of the use of this template tag to display a list of news:

<h2>Latest news</h2>
{% get_page "news" news_page %}
<ul>
{% for new in news_page.get_children %}
<li>
    <h3>{{ new.title }}</h3>
    {{ new.publication_date }}
    {% show_content new body %}
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

Note

You can use either the slug, or the id of the page.

show_absolute_url

This tag show the absolute url of a page. The difference with the Page.get_url_path method is that the template knows which language is used within the context and display the URL accordingly:

{% show_absolute_url current_page %}

Note

You can use either the page object, the slug, or the id of the page.
