Pics, part 2
So I was able to get the Summernote text editor working in the Django admin section, so I can use basic HTML formatting and pictures in my posts. The problem is that Django still isn't rendering the HTML tags properly. Django automatically "escapes" the tags, so in the published post they show up as plain text, instead of producing the paragraph and image tags. I have to research this one, so I may not come up with a solution any time soon. I'm still trying to figure out how to incorporate Summernote into the publicly-facing post form. Like I mentioned the other day, the issue is that this blog was built without a forms.py file in the blog app, whereas the tutorials I've seen so far all make use of a forms.py file. So I'm left trying to figure out how to make this work without a forms.py file. I'm going to continue working on this. I'm not sure what I'll add after I get Summernote working. I've been thinking about adding something that would enable me to resize the images I use, and I saw a blog post online that covered that, so maybe I can find a way to make it work. After that, I think I'll put in some work on my other websites. The main one has an issue with adding links to the main page, and the LS Enterprises site is just a very basic placeholder. There's still the question of getting Django's email functionality working too, I think I can figure it out and get it to work with my mail server, but that's on the back burner for now. I'm glad I'm making progress, even though it's slow. Today is a Saturday and I'm at work with nothing to do, so I will hopefully make some progress today on something useful. Update: I posted a question on StackOverflow about this. Internet, do your thing!
