Wagtail CMS: Routable Page Categories And Years

Tutorial: learnwagtail.com/course/routa...
Wagtail for Beginners Course: learnwagtail.com/wagtail-for-...
Let's take a look at how we can filter Wagtail CMS blog posts by their URL using a Routable Page Mixin and a couple of @route's.
Previously we made a Blog Listing Page with the URL of /blog/. In this tutorial we'll add /blog/category/{category_name}/ and filter pages based on the slug in the URL.

How do you guys handle backups, passing data from a site to the next and DevOps like Dev, stage and production environment. or transfer content without the overhead of the dumpdata, loaddata on Django or dealing with DBs ???

[@CodingForEverybody]

Without datadump or a database backup (like a pg_dump) I'm not sure there is a way. I guess you could change your production.py settings to constantly swap database connections from a service like AWS RDS. Matt Westcott is working on a really cool solution for this though called Wagtail Transfer. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to trial this, but it looks very promising github.com/wagtail/wagtail-transfer

I'm a little stuck with how to output the current visited category and mark that one as active in the categories' list.

[@Peterstavrou]

I implemented this in my nav today with: {% if item.link_page.url == self.url %}active{% endif %} Hopefully this gives you an idea on how to do it with categories.

How to Make Login Page and User Registration Page

[@CodingForEverybody]

For this you'll probably want to use djangos built in authentication OR you can use a3rd party package called Django Allauth.

How can you get count of posts under a category and return the value in template

[@CodingForEverybody]

In your get_context() method, add: total = Post.objects.filter(category__in=['cat-name']).count() and return the `total` variable in your context dictionary. Or in a routable if you're using a custom template with the render() function, put `total` in a dictionary and pass that into the render() function. Source code is available on GitHub for better examples.
