Question

Hi this is a long shot i think but here goes…..

Basically i have a few custom plugins and apps being used in my django /django-cms site. I have set tinymce up which is working fairly ok however what im wondering is it possible to use the built in text plugin for the TextField model fields in my custom plugins and apps?

so in effect the info text field for my main content plugin would actually render in the admin site as the text plugin

Like i said i think this is a long shot…

You cannot use single-plugins on models, however you can define PlaceholderFields on your custom models to put cms plugins in. So you can define a PlaceholderField, put a TextPlugin inside that placeholder and do whatever you want.

For more information, read the official documentation about this http://docs.django-cms.org/en/2.1.3/extending_cms/placeholders.html
