# Wagtail Quick Create

## Wagtail Quick Create offers shortcut links to create objects from models specified in your settings file.

A panel is added to the admin home, offering a type:

Clicking a create link will offer a parent selection for the new item

## Note on parent pages

Wagtailquickcreate needs the [`parent_page_types`](http://docs.wagtail.io/en/v2.5.1/reference/pages/model_reference.html#wagtail.core.models.Page.parent_page_types) set on the model you wish to include so it can successfully provide the parent page selection. If this isn't specified, you will likely see every page offered as a parent, this will not work as it's looking up pages using `wagtail.core.models.Page` and this core wagtail class has `is_creatable = False`

### Configuration

Install using pip:

```bash

pip install wagtail-quick-create

```

After installing the module, add `wagtailquickcreate` to your installed apps in your settings file:

```python

INSTALLED_APPS = [

    ...

    'wagtailquickcreate',

]

```

Also add the models you would like to create quick links for to your settings file as `'your_app_name.YourModelName'`:

EG:

```python

WAGTAIL_QUICK_CREATE_PAGE_TYPES = ['news.NewsPage', 'events.EventPage']

```

If you want the Quick Create links panel to _replace_ the wagtail summary panel, you can set this by adding the following to your settings

```python

WAGTAIL_QUICK_CREATE_REPLACE_SUMMARY_PANEL = True

```

If you would like to offer image and or document links, this can also be done by specifying the following in your settings:

```python

WAGTAIL_QUICK_CREATE_DOCUMENTS = True

WAGTAIL_QUICK_CREATE_IMAGES = True

```
