How to add Wagtail page programmatically via Python script
Feb 27, 2018 · by Tim KamaninGiven:
Two Wagtail CMS page classes:
class Section(Page):
subtitle = models.Charfield(max_length=128)
class News(Page):
content = models.Textfield()
Task:
Using a python script, add a News
page item under the Section
page titled "Latest news."
Solution:
1) Get parent page instance:
parent_page = Page.objects.get(title='Latest news').specific
2) Create a News
page instance:
news_page = News(
content='Something pleasant to hear.'
)
3) Add newly created instance as a child to the parent_page
:
parent_page.add_child(instance=news_page)
4) Save news_page
:
news_page.save()
Now you should see your page in the Wagtail explorer. Done!
