Cannot edit slide

[sproctor]

ImproperlyConfigured at /en/admin/cms/page/edit-plugin/115/ A CarouselSlidePlugin requires a valid parent

cmsplugin_cascade/bootstrap3/carousel.py in get_form, line 144

The slide appears to have a valid parent. I can't understand why get_parent_instance on line 142 is returning None.

This is weird. Can you please retry with the configuration settings from example.py

[jrief]

From examples/settings.py

[sproctor]

I tried copying most settings from settings.py, still the same issue. I tried running the bs3demo, there's a bit of a lack of documentation. When I do, I get this error:

ImportError: No module named 'cmsplugin_cascade.segmentation.settings'

Could be because djangocms-cascade installed is from pip, the bs3demo is from git?

BTW, this happens when trying to edit both column and slide, but row and carousel work fine.

[jrief]

did you add 'cmsplugin_cascade.segmentation', to your INSTALLED_APPS?

btw. the bs3demo only runs from github, because the PyPI package does not contain any example code. Therefore you should not mix these versions.

[jrief]

have you been able to solve it?

[sproctor]

'cmsplugin_cascade', 'cmsplugin_cascade.clipboard', 'cmsplugin_cascade.extra_fields', 'cmsplugin_cascade.sharable', and 'cmsplugin_cascade.segmentation' were in my INSTALLED_APPS.

This seemed to work:

CMS_PLACEHOLDER_CONF = {
    'content': {
        'parent_classes': {'BootstrapContainerPlugin': None,},
    },
}

This did not show up:

CMS_PLACEHOLDER_CONF = {
    'Main Content Placeholder': {
        'plugins': ['BootstrapContainerPlugin'],
        'text_only_plugins': ['TextLinkPlugin'],
        'parent_classes': {'BootstrapContainerPlugin': None},
        'glossary': {
            'breakpoints': ['xs', 'sm', 'md', 'lg'],
            'container_max_widths': {'xs': 750, 'sm': 750, 'md': 970, 'lg': 1170},
            'fluid': False,
            'media_queries': {
                'xs': ['(max-width: 768px)'],
                'sm': ['(min-width: 768px)', '(max-width: 992px)'],
                'md': ['(min-width: 992px)', '(max-width: 1200px)'],
                'lg': ['(min-width: 1200px)'],
            },
        },
    },
}

I also had:

CMSPLUGIN_CASCADE_PLUGINS = ('cmsplugin_cascade.bootstrap3',)
CMSPLUGIN_CASCADE = {
    'alien_plugins': ('TextPlugin', 'FilerImagePlugin', 'OtherLeafPlugin',),
}

[jrief]

And what is the name of the {% placeholder ??? %} in your template?

[sproctor]

It's "content". Sorry, I'm a new to Django CMS and I didn't realize I needed to change that. Let's ignore that second try. I got the error when I had both that and this one:

CMS_PLACEHOLDER_CONF = {
    'content': {
        'parent_classes': {'BootstrapContainerPlugin': None,},
    },
}
