Looping all items of page

[Vaibhav]

Hello all, Is it possible to iterate through all placeholders and plugin using page object.

I am facing issue where static-place holders are not being recognised properly.

Basically I need to list down all building blocked of page programmatically to output placeholders, and all plugins instances used on that page.

Thanks

Yes you can!

Pages have a "ManyToMany" with their placeholders: https://github.com/divio/django-cms/blob/develop/cms/models/pagemodel.py#L209

Plugins have a "ForeignKey" to their placeholder: https://github.com/divio/django-cms/blob/develop/cms/models/pluginmodel.py#L107

But be careful, pages exist in draft and published version, plugins exist for each language...

Placeholders have a utility method to get plugins for a language: https://github.com/divio/django-cms/blob/develop/cms/models/placeholdermodel.py#L357

You can also look at a template tag we did in richie: https://github.com/openfun/richie/blob/master/src/richie/apps/courses/templatetags/extra_tags.py#L41

Thanks Sam for your response. Actually I am using following way to iterate pages.

for page in Page.objects.filter(**kwargs):

And using this page object to get placeholders, like:

for placeholders in page.get_placeholders():

And further this placeholder object to get plugin list, like:

for plugin in placeholders.get_plugin_list()

But while liating, it's only able to output one of static placeholder however pages contains more then one static place holders.

Please suggest if I am missing something and there is a better way to generate list of page with all it's details (all plugins used on the page)

Thanks, Vaibhav
