The Ultimate Wagtail Developers Course
This course covers everything from basic installation to advanced features like custom blocks and API integration, it's perfect for developers looking to enhance their skills with this powerful CMS.
Tutorial Wagtail Version: 2.x
In this video we'll go over upgrading your Wagtail website from v2.4 to v2.5.1 and we'll upgrade Django from 2.1.5 to 2.2.2. As a bonus, we'll explore an issue with Django Debug Toolbar.
To upgrade your own project, you can simply run these commands:
pip install wagtail==2.5.1pip install Django==2.2.2pip install django-debug-toolbar==2.0a1 (Debug Toolbar is optional)python manage.py migratepython manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000The requirements.txt and Pipfile were updated. And I've added a Pipfile.lock to the repo. We also disabled Django Debug Toolbar because it's ultra slow.

How to Register a Django Model with Wagtails ModelAdmin
Posted on
In the land of Django and Wagtail, sometimes you need custom Django Models but Wagtail doesn't let you edit these models by default. And personally, I don't believe in giving a client 2 admin dashboards to operate in. So let's add a custom Django Model to our Wagtail website using a Wagtail ModelAdmin.
Setting up Django Shell, Shell Plus and IPython
Posted on
Django comes with a python shell where you can import your models and test things out. It's not great out of the box, but we can make it better by using shell_plus (installation instructions are inside) and letting IPython take care of interactivity. This is all helpful for learning Wagtail.
Registering Snippets using Django Models
Posted on
Snippets are Wagtails way of re-using existing data. For example, being able to select a Blog Author (or multiple authors) instead of having to add a name, image and website for every blog author in every blog post you make; instead you can simply fill out a form once, and re-use the final data with a couple of clicks.
