Extending the Toolbar

We’ll create a toolbar using a sub-class.

Note

• supported_apps is a list of application names in which the toolbar should be active. Usually you don’t need to set supported_apps - the appropriate application will be detected automatically. In this case (since the views for the Polls application are in , while our cms_toolbars.py is in the polls_cms_integration application) we need to specify both explicitly.
• watch_models allows the frontend editor to redirect the user to the model instance whenever an instance of this model is created or saved through the frontend editor (see Detecting URL changes for details).

See it at work

Visit your Polls page on your site, and you’ll see a new Polls item in the toolbar.

There’s a lot more to django CMS toolbar classes than this - see How to extend the Toolbar for more.
