Same here, Got it to work! let me add a bit more information :

By going throungh the commits, I found the commit cb8283c that removes the cause of the error we have.

By installing the dev branch using pip install git+https://github.com/Fantomas42/django-blog-zinnia.git it worked

Jonas-089 commented 3 years ago

I'm not very familiar with working with projects like this and git in general. Is this version stable/ "official"? If an update is made to the Zinnia, will this break the code again? I'm a bit scared of having something in my project that potentially screws up the entire website

barneydesmond commented 3 years ago

@Jonas-089 I'm currently assessing Zinnia to see if I can use it myself, and ran into this issue. The fix that RduMarais found above is in the "develop" git branch, which can change over time.

However, if you use their method with pip install from github, and then never pip upgrade Zinnia, it won't break. You won't get any updates and improvements, but you won't get any breakages either. Note that if you upgrade your Django version, it may still break if Zinnia is incompatible with it.

You won't get any updates and improvements, but you won't get any breakages either.

real question : is this project really maintained ? I found a "xinnia" package on Pypi and I tend to have more and more compatibility issues

@barneydesmond @Jonas-089 @RduMarais

I just created a fork of this project and updated the code to work with modern versions of Django (including 4.0+).
