django CMS Alias
****************|coverage| |python| |django| |djangocms4|
django CMS Alias replicates and extends the alias function of django CMS version 3 for django CMS version 4.
An alias is a collection of plugins that is managed centrally. A reference can be added to any placeholder using the Alias plugin. Since the Alias plugin creates a reference any changes to the alias are immediately reflected at all places it is used.
django CMS Alias supports versioning aliases by django CMS Versioning.
.. warning::
This is the development branch for django CMS version 4.1 support.
For django CMS V4.0 support, see `support/django-cms-4.0.x branch `_
============
Installation
============Requirements
============django CMS Alias requires that you have a django CMS 4 (or higher) project already running and set up.
To install
==========Run::
pip install git+https://github.com/django-cms/djangocms-alias@master#egg=djangocms-alias
Add ``djangocms_alias`` and ``parler`` to your project's ``INSTALLED_APPS``.
