Links (bookmarks)

django-links is the simplest Django app which keeps a list of bookmarks.

Features

• An optional description for each link.
• Links organized into categories.

Installation

Install from github using pip::

pip install -e git+git://github.com/whiskybar/django-links#egg=django-links

Configuration

Add 'links' to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py of your project::

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'links',
)

Add the following context processor to your settings.py::

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
    ...
    'links.context_processors.categories',
)

Do not forget to run syncdb to create the corresponding tables.

Usage

I use the following HTML fragment to list my links in templates::

{% for category in categories %}
<li>
    <h2>{{ category }}</h2>
    <ul>
    {% for link in category.link_set.all %}
        <li{% if link.description %} title="{{ link.description }}"{% endif %}>
        {% if link.url %}
            <a href="{{ link.url }}" target="_blank">{{ link }}</a>
        {% else %}
            {{ link }}
        {% endif %}
        </li>
    {% endfor %}
    </ul>
</li>
{% endfor %}
