Allowed plugins within {% page_placeholder %} template tag?

[maartendraijer]

As far as I know it's not possible to limit the allowed plugins within a CMS page. I think this should be done via the {% page_placeholder %} template tag, as the placeholder_set & contentitem_set fields are already declared in the base model. But it's not supporting anything like that.

Am I trying to do this the wrong way around, or is this just not possible?

This is currently not possible, but I'd love to have it implemented.

This could indeed be implemented via the page_placeholder tag, or via a setting variable in settings.py, or a setting variable like Django CMS uses (see http://docs.django-cms.org/en/2.2/getting_started/configuration.html#cms-placeholder-conf). I think both would make sense to have. Strange I just didn't consider to extend the template tag at this point.

Another suggestion is to limit the amount of allowed content item types. For example, allow only one intro content type to the Home page.

I'm closing this ticket in favor of a tickets:

• Feature: allow to limit the allowed plugins in the {% page_placeholder %} tag. django-fluent-contents#3
• Feature: allow to limit how many instances of a plugin can be created in a placeholder django-fluent-contents#4

As this is the pages module, it only deals with the structure.
The contents (placeholders + content items) are handled by django-fluent-contents.
