# Richie, the best OpenSource CMS to build education portals

[![CircleCI](https://circleci.com/gh/openfun/richie/tree/master.svg?style=svg)](https://circleci.com/gh/openfun/richie/tree/master)

## Overview

`Learning Management Systems` (LMS) are great tools for hosting and playing interactive online

courses and MOOCs.

However, if you need to build a complete website with flexible content to aggregate your courses,

in several languages and from different sources, **you will soon need a CMS**.

At "France Université Numérique", we wanted to build an OpenSource portal with `Python` and

`Django`. That's why we built `Richie` on top of [DjangoCMS](https://www.django-cms.org), one of

the best CMS on the market, as a toolbox to easily create full fledged websites with a catalog of

online courses.

Among the features that `Richie` offers out of the box:

- multi-lingual by default,

- advanced access rights and moderation,

- catalog of courses synchronized with one or more `LMS` instances,

- search engine based on `Elasticsearch` and pre-configured to offer full-text queries,

  multi-facetting, auto-complete,...

- flexible custom pages for courses, organizations, categories, teachers, blog posts,

  programs (and their inter-relations),

- Extensible with any third-party `DjangoCMS` plugin or any third-party `Django` application.

## Discover Richie

If you're looking for a quick preview of `Richie`, you can take a look and have a tour of

`Richie` on our dedicated [demo site](https://demo.richie.education).

It is connected back-to-back with a demo of OpenEdX running on

[OpenEdX Docker](https://github.com/openfun/openedx-docker).

Two users are available for testing:

- admin: `[email protected]`/`admin`

- student: `[email protected]`/`edx`

The database is regularly flushed.
