Some commonly-used plugins¶
Please note that dozens if not hundreds of different django CMS plugins have been made available under open-source licences. Some, like the ones on this page, are likely to be of general interest, while others are highly specialised.
All packages officially endorsed by the django CMS Association are listed in the django-cms/djangocms-ecosystem repository.
Please see the Django Packages site for some more, or just do a web search for the functionality you seek - you’ll be surprised at the range of plugins that has been created.
django CMS Core Addons¶
We maintain a set of Core Addons for django CMS.
You don’t need to use them, and for many of them alternatives exist, but they represent a good way to get started with a reliable project set-up. We recommend them for new users of django CMS in particular.
