Zinnia has no content field in Django Admin

I have setup Django CMS with Zinnia for the first time. However in the admin area there is no place to enter actual content! See image...

Everything else works. What I'm I doing wrong here?

Solution

  • The problem is that you're using this plugin https://github.com/django-blog-zinnia/cmsplugin-zinnia which reset admin page here if you're set cmsplugin_zinnia.placeholder.EntryPlaceholder as ENTRY_BASE_MODEL.

    As you see this code cuts the original fieldset and remove content field:

    fieldsets = (
    (_('Content'), {'fields': (('title', 'status'), 'image')}),) + \
    EntryAdmin.fieldsets[1:]

    So I see only one solution is to set another model as ENTRY_BASE_MODEL which you need to create:

    from zinnia.models_bases.entry import AbstractEntry

class Entry(AbstractEntry):
    pass

    And finally set correct settings.py

    ENTRY_BASE_MODEL = 'path_to_module.Entry'

    I hope this will help you :)

    Note

    I digged out why the hell they reset fieldset the original admin. This is explained here.
