A mezzanine flavored fork of [django-flatblocks] 1. The goal of this project is to be able to easily create custom blocks of text/HTML in the template, and can be editable via admin.

1. Add "mezzanine_blocks" to INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    "...",
    "mezzanine_blocks",
)

2. Add "Blocks" menu item to admin menu (Optional):

ADMIN_MENU_ORDER = (
    ("Content", (
            "pages.Page",
            "mezzanine_blocks.Block",
            "blog.BlogPost",
            "blog.BlogCategory",
            "generic.ThreadedComment",
            ("Media Library", "fb_browse"),
        )
    ),
)

3. Run python manage.py createdb or python manage.py syncdb && python manage.py migrate.

1. Include block_tags in the template:

   {% load ... block_tags %}

2. Insert block anywhere in the template:

   {% flatblock "My Awesome Block" %}

   {% richflatblock "My Awesome HTML Block" %}

3. You should see the blocks in the admin.

Options are similar to django-flatblocks.

{% flatblock {block} %}
{% flatblock {block} {timeout} %}
{% flatblock {block} using {tpl_name} %}
{% flatblock {block} {timeout} using {tpl_name} %}

{% richflatblock {block} %}
{% richflatblock {block} {timeout} %}
{% richflatblock {block} using {tpl_name} %}
{% richflatblock {block} {timeout} using {tpl_name} %}

1. Include more mezzanine flavored goodies (front-end editing, multi site, etc. ).
