I want a pages of my site to be editable by signed in members. This
seems simple enough, but I'm not sure of the best strategy. This does
not need to be a full on wiki style system, since the number of pages
will be fixed and only about 10 or so.
The main goals I am after:
- simple text markup like ReST
- full revision history
It looks easy enough to just use the rest middleware on the pages I
need. This is not going to be a high-demand environment, so is html
translation on the fly good enough? Perhaps I should tap into the
internal django caching for these. The other option is to prebuild the
html pages when new commits are made to the text.
It's the revision history that has me most stumped. The changes will
not likely be high. It wouldn't be hard for each change to just be a
new row in my Pages table? Each one could then have a reference to the
previous revision. I'm not too worried about concurrent edits and
locking, but if I can get that for free I'd gladly roll it in.
Also, I'm unsure of the caveats of using large Text fields in the
database. These are not going to be large, in fact I could probably
limit each page to a few kilobyes. But it this going to create potholes
and cruft in the database?
Am I headed for troubles with a model like this? Any smart changes for
this?
class Page(meta.Model):
title = meta.CharField(maxlength=100)
body = meta.TextField()
pubdate = meta.DateField(auto_now=True)
author = meta.ForeignKey(User)
history = meta.OneToOneField('self', nil=True)
Is it possible to do a OneToOne with 'self'? I don't plan to support
"forking" which would make ForeignKey more appropriate for the history
field I guess.
