Tutorial

This tutorial takes you from your first login to a page that is live on your site. It takes about half an hour, and by the end you will have

• found your way around the django CMS toolbar and the page tree,

• uploaded an image to your site’s media library,

• created a page and filled it with text, an image and a link, and

• published it for your visitors to see.

You do not need to know HTML. Your content changes remain in a draft until you publish them. Some administrative actions, such as deleting a page or file, cannot be undone, so pay attention to the warnings in those lessons.

Each lesson builds on the one before, so it is worth working through them in order. All you need is a django CMS site and an account that may edit it — the first lesson tells you what to do if you do not have them yet.

Touch-screen users

django CMS supports touch-screen interfaces, though there are currently some limitations in support. You can complete this tutorial using a touch-screen device, but please consult Using touch-screen devices with django CMS, and see the notes on Screen size and orientation.
