How to add RichTextField to models.Model in a mezzanine application?

Question

I need to allow public users to add articles using RichTextEditor in a mezzanine application, similarly to how admin pages allow RichTextFields. Is it possible to use RichTextField for non-admin pages?

Answer 1

You can certainly use it on the frontend. RichText is an abstract model which you simply inherit.

Example:

class Article(RichText):
    ... your article fields go here ...

Now, your Article Model will have a field "content" inherited from RichText and the set of its own fields.

I hope that helps.
