Wagtail CMS: Registering Snippets using Django Models

Snippets are Wagtails way of re-using existing data and storing little chunks of re-usable data. For example, being able to select a Blog Author (or multiple authors) instead of having to add a name, image and website for every blog author in every blog post you make; instead you can simply fill out a form once, and re-use the final data with a couple of clicks.

This is the best wagtail course I've ever seen. Thank you for amazing contribution.

This comment slipped past me! Thanks for the kind words RQ! :)

Couldn't agree more. Deserves way more subscribers. Keep up the good work :)

[@redditcamp543]

So we can also create BlogAuthors the way we made Subscribers, don't we?

Hmm. Looks very similar to "Registering Django Models with Wagtails ModelAdmin", but without search functionality. When to use which?

[@CodingForEverybody]

Technically you can use either. ModelAdmin is a little more professional and out in the open I find. But registering a Snippet allows you to select the model in a Snippet Chooser (in either a StreamField or Django model field)

Why in some models panels are called just 'panels' and in others 'content_panels'? I tried to keep it consistent but I was getting errors so I am sticking to the convention for the tutorials.

[@CodingForEverybody]

Good question. Pages have different types of panels, but regular Django Models only get `panels`
