Your first Wagtail site¶

Install dependencies¶

Wagtail supports Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11.

To check if you have an appropriate version of Python 3, run the following command:

python --version
# Or:
python3 --version
# **On Windows** (cmd.exe, with the Python Launcher for Windows):
py --version

If none of the preceding commands return a version number, or return a version lower than 3.8, then install Python 3.

Create and activate a virtual environment¶

This tutorial recommends using a virtual environment, which isolates installed dependencies from other projects. This tutorial uses venv, which is packaged with Python 3.

On Windows (cmd.exe), run the following commands:

py -m venv mysite\env

# then

mysite\env\Scripts\activate.bat

# if mysite\env\Scripts\activate.bat doesn't work, run:

mysite\env\Scripts\activate

On GNU/Linux or MacOS (bash):

python -m venv mysite/env
# Then:
source mysite/env/bin/activate

For other shells see the venv documentation.

Install Wagtail¶

To install Wagtail and its dependencies, use pip, which is packaged with Python:

pip install wagtail

Generate your site¶

Wagtail provides a start command similar to django-admin startproject. Running wagtail start mysite in your project generates a new mysite folder with a few Wagtail-specific extras, including the required project settings, a “home” app with a blank HomePage model and basic templates, and a sample “search” app.

Because the folder mysite was already created by venv, run wagtail start with an additional argument to specify the destination directory:

wagtail start mysite mysite

Here is the generated project structure:

mysite/
├── .dockerignore
├── Dockerfile
├── home/
├── manage.py*
├── mysite/
├── requirements.txt
└── search/

Install project dependencies¶

cd mysite
pip install -r requirements.txt

This ensures that you have the relevant versions of Wagtail, Django, and any other dependencies for the project that you’ve just created. The requirements.txt file contains all the dependencies needed to run the project.

Create the database¶

By default, your database is SQLite. To match your database tables with your project’s models, run the following command:

python manage.py migrate

This command ensures that the tables in your database match the models in your project. Every time you alter your model, then you must run the python manage.py migrate command to update the database. For example, if you add a field to a model, then you must run the command.

Create an admin user¶

python manage.py createsuperuser

This prompts you to create a new admin user account with full permissions. It’s important to note that for security reasons, the password text won’t be visible while typing.

Start the server¶

python manage.py runserver

After the server starts, go to http://127.0.0.1:8000 to see Wagtail’s welcome page:

You can now access the admin interface by logging into http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin with the username and password that you entered while creating an admin user with createsuperuser.

Wagtail template tags¶

In addition to Django’s template tags and filters, Wagtail provides a number of its own template tags & filters, which you can load by including {% load wagtailcore_tags %} at the top of your template file.

This tutorial uses the richtext filter to escape and print the contents of a RichTextField:

{% load wagtailcore_tags %}
{{ page.body|richtext }}

Produces:

<p>Welcome to our new site!</p>

Note: You must include {% load wagtailcore_tags %} in each template that uses Wagtail’s tags. If the tags aren’t loaded, Django throws a TemplateSyntaxError.

Blog index and posts¶

Start with creating a simple index page for your blog. Edit blog/models.py to include:

from django.db import models

# Add these:
from wagtail.models import Page
from wagtail.fields import RichTextField
from wagtail.admin.panels import FieldPanel


class BlogIndexPage(Page):
    intro = RichTextField(blank=True)

    content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
        FieldPanel('intro')
    ]

Since you added a new model to your app, you must create and run a database migration:

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

Also, since the model name is BlogIndexPage, the default template name, unless you override it, is blog_index_page.html. Django looks for a template whose name matches the name of your Page model within the templates directory in your blog app folder. You can override this default behaviour if you want to. To create a template for the BlogIndexPage model, create a file at the location blog/templates/blog/blog_index_page.html.

In your blog_index_page.html file enter the following content:

{% extends "base.html" %}

{% load wagtailcore_tags %}

{% block body_class %}template-blogindexpage{% endblock %}

{% block content %}
    <h1>{{ page.title }}</h1>

    <div class="intro">{{ page.intro|richtext }}</div>

    {% for post in page.get_children %}
        <h2><a href="{% pageurl post %}">{{ post.title }}</a></h2>
        {{ post.specific.intro }}
        {{ post.specific.body|richtext }}
    {% endfor %}

{% endblock %}

Other than using get_children, the preceding blog_index_page.html template is similar to your previous work with the home_page.html template. You will learn about the use of get_children later in the tutorial.

If you have a Django background, then you will notice that the pageurl tag is similar to Django’s url tag, but takes a Wagtail Page object as an additional argument.

Now that this is complete, here is how you can create a page from the Wagtail admin interface:

1. Go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin and sign in with your admin user details.

2. In the Wagtail admin interface, go to Pages, then click Home.

3. Add a child page to the Home page by clicking … at the top of the screen and selecting the option Add child page.

4. Choose Blog index page from the list of the page types.

5. Use “Our Blog” as your page title, make sure it has the slug “blog” on the Promote tab, and publish it.

You can now access the URL, http://127.0.0.1:8000/blog on your site. This gives you an error page showing “TemplateDoesNotExist” because you are yet to create a template for the new page. Also, note how the slug from the Promote tab defines the page URL.

Now create a model and template for your blog posts. Edit blog/models.py to include:

from wagtail.models import Page
from wagtail.fields import RichTextField
from wagtail.admin.panels import FieldPanel

# add this:
from wagtail.search import index


# Keep the definition of BlogIndexPage model, and add the BlogPage model:

class BlogPage(Page):
    date = models.DateField("Post date")
    intro = models.CharField(max_length=250)
    body = RichTextField(blank=True)

    search_fields = Page.search_fields + [
        index.SearchField('intro'),
        index.SearchField('body'),
    ]

    content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
        FieldPanel('date'),
        FieldPanel('intro'),
        FieldPanel('body'),
    ]

In the model above, you import index as this makes the model searchable. You then list fields that you want to be searchable for the user.

You have to migrate your database again because of the new changes in your models.py file:

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

Create a new template file at the location blog/templates/blog/blog_page.html. Now add the following content to your blog_page.html file:

{% extends "base.html" %}

{% load wagtailcore_tags %}

{% block body_class %}template-blogpage{% endblock %}

{% block content %}
    <h1>{{ page.title }}</h1>
    <p class="meta">{{ page.date }}</p>

    <div class="intro">{{ page.intro }}</div>

    {{ page.body|richtext }}

    <p><a href="{{ page.get_parent.url }}">Return to blog</a></p>

{% endblock %}

Note the use of Wagtail’s built-in get_parent() method to obtain the URL of the blog this post is a part of.

Now, go to your admin interface and create a few blog posts as children of BlogIndexPage by following these steps:

1. Click Pages from the Wagtail Sidebar, and then click Home

2. Hover on Our blog and click Add child page.

Select the page type, Blog page:

Populate the fields with the content of your choice:

To add a link from your rich text Body field, highlight the text you want to attach the link to. You can now see a pop-up modal which has several actions represented by their icons. Click on the appropriate icon to add a link. You can also click the + icon, which appears at the left-hand side of the field to get similar actions as those shown in the pop-up modal.

To add an image, press enter to move to the next line in the field. Then click the + icon and select Image from the list of actions to add an image.

Publish each blog post when you are done editing.

Congratulations! You now have the beginnings of a working blog. If you go to http://localhost:8000/blog in your browser, you can see all the posts that you created by following the preceding steps:

Titles should link to post pages, and a link back to the blog’s homepage should appear in the footer of each post page.

Parents and children¶

Much of the work in Wagtail revolves around the concept of hierarchical tree structures consisting of nodes and leaves. You can read more on this Theory. In this case, the BlogIndexPage serves as a node, and individual BlogPage instances represent the leaves.

Take another look at the guts of blog_index_page.html:

{% for post in page.get_children %}
    <h2><a href="{% pageurl post %}">{{ post.title }}</a></h2>
    {{ post.specific.intro }}
    {{ post.specific.body|richtext }}
{% endfor %}

Every “page” in Wagtail can call out to its parent or children from its position in the hierarchy. But why do you have to specify post.specific.intro rather than post.intro? This has to do with the way you define your model, class BlogPage(Page). The get_children() method gets you a list of instances of the Page base class. When you want to reference properties of the instances that inherit from the base class, Wagtail provides the specific method that retrieves the actual BlogPage record. While the “title” field is present on the base Page model, “intro” is only present on the BlogPage model. So you need .specific to access it.

You can simplify the template code by using the Django with tag. Now, modify your blog_index_page.html:

{% for post in page.get_children %}
    {% with post=post.specific %}
        <h2><a href="{% pageurl post %}">{{ post.title }}</a></h2>
        <p>{{ post.intro }}</p>
        {{ post.body|richtext }}
    {% endwith %}
{% endfor %}

When you start writing more customized Wagtail code, you’ll find a whole set of QuerySet modifiers to help you navigate the hierarchy.

# Given a page object 'somepage':
MyModel.objects.descendant_of(somepage)
child_of(page) / not_child_of(somepage)
ancestor_of(somepage) / not_ancestor_of(somepage)
parent_of(somepage) / not_parent_of(somepage)
sibling_of(somepage) / not_sibling_of(somepage)
# ... and ...
somepage.get_children()
somepage.get_ancestors()
somepage.get_descendants()
somepage.get_siblings()

For more information, see Page QuerySet reference

Overriding Context¶

With a keen eye, you may have noticed problems with the Our blog page:

1. Our blog orders posts in chronological order. Generally blogs display content in reverse chronological order.

2. Our blog displays all content. You want to make sure that it displays only published content.

To accomplish these, you need to do more than grab the index page’s children in the template. Instead, you want to modify the QuerySet in the model definition. Wagtail makes this possible via the overridable get_context() method.

Modify your BlogIndexPage model:

class BlogIndexPage(Page):
    intro = RichTextField(blank=True)
    # add the get_context method:
    def get_context(self, request):
        # Update context to include only published posts, ordered by reverse-chron
        context = super().get_context(request)
        blogpages = self.get_children().live().order_by('-first_published_at')
        context['blogpages'] = blogpages
        return context

    # ...

Here is a quick breakdown of the changes that you made:

1. You retrieved the original context.

2. You created a custom QuerySet modifier.

3. You added the custom QuerySet modifier to the retrieved context.

4. You returned the modified context to the view.

You also need to modify your blog_index_page.html template slightly. Change:

{% for post in page.get_children %} to {% for post in blogpages %}

Now, unpublish one of your posts. The unpublished post should disappear from your blog’s index page. Also, the remaining posts should now be sorted with the most recently published posts coming first.

Images¶

The next feature that you need to add is the ability to attach an image gallery to your blog posts. While it’s possible to simply insert images into the rich text body field, there are several advantages to setting up your gallery images as a new dedicated object type within the database. This way, you have full control over the layout and styling of the images on the template, rather than having to lay them out in a particular way within the field. It also makes it possible for you to use the images elsewhere, independently of the blog text. For example, displaying a thumbnail on the blog’s index page.

Now modify your BlogPage model and add a new BlogPageGalleryImage model to blog/models.py:

# New imports added for ParentalKey, Orderable, InlinePanel

from modelcluster.fields import ParentalKey

from wagtail.models import Page, Orderable
from wagtail.fields import RichTextField
from wagtail.admin.panels import FieldPanel, InlinePanel
from wagtail.search import index

# ... Keep the definition of BlogIndexPage, update the content_panels of BlogPage, and add a new BlogPageGalleryImage model:

class BlogPage(Page):
    date = models.DateField("Post date")
    intro = models.CharField(max_length=250)
    body = RichTextField(blank=True)

    search_fields = Page.search_fields + [
        index.SearchField('intro'),
        index.SearchField('body'),
    ]

    content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
        FieldPanel('date'),
        FieldPanel('intro'),
        FieldPanel('body'),

        # Add this:
        InlinePanel('gallery_images', label="Gallery images"),
    ]


class BlogPageGalleryImage(Orderable):
    page = ParentalKey(BlogPage, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='gallery_images')
    image = models.ForeignKey(
        'wagtailimages.Image', on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='+'
    )
    caption = models.CharField(blank=True, max_length=250)

    panels = [
        FieldPanel('image'),
        FieldPanel('caption'),
    ]

Run python manage.py makemigrations and python manage.py migrate.

There are a few new concepts here:

1. Inheriting from Orderable adds a sort_order field to the model to keep track of the ordering of images in the gallery.

2. The ParentalKey to BlogPage is what attaches the gallery images to a specific page. A ParentalKey works similarly to a ForeignKey, but also defines BlogPageGalleryImage as a “child” of the BlogPage model, so that it’s treated as a fundamental part of the page in operations like submitting for moderation, and tracking revision history.

3. image is a ForeignKey to Wagtail’s built-in Image model, which stores the actual images. This appears in the page editor as a pop-up interface for choosing an existing image or uploading a new one. This way, you allow an image to exist in multiple galleries. This creates a many-to-many relationship between pages and images.

4. Specifying on_delete=models.CASCADE on the foreign key means that deleting the image from the system also deletes the gallery entry. In other situations, it might be appropriate to leave the gallery entry in place. For example, if an “our staff” page includes a list of people with headshots, and you delete one of those photos, but prefer to leave the person in place on the page without a photo. In this case, you must set the foreign key to blank=True, null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL.

5. Finally, adding the InlinePanel to BlogPage.content_panels makes the gallery images available on the editing interface for BlogPage.

After editing your blog/models.py, you should see Images in your Sidebar and a Gallery images field with the option to upload images and provide a caption for it in the Edit Screen of your blog posts.

Edit your blog page template blog_page.html to include the images section:

<!-- Load the wagtailimages_tags: -->
{% load wagtailcore_tags wagtailimages_tags %}

{% block body_class %}template-blogpage{% endblock %}

{% block content %}
    <h1>{{ page.title }}</h1>
    <p class="meta">{{ page.date }}</p>

    <div class="intro">{{ page.intro }}</div>

    {{ page.body|richtext }}

    <!-- Add this: -->
    {% for item in page.gallery_images.all %}
        <div style="float: left; margin: 10px">
            {% image item.image fill-320x240 %}
            <p>{{ item.caption }}</p>
        </div>
    {% endfor %}

    <p><a href="{{ page.get_parent.url }}">Return to blog</a></p>

{% endblock %}

Make sure to upload some images when editing the blog page on your Wagtail admin if you want to display them after editing your blog page template.

Here, you use the {% image %} tag, which exists in the wagtailimages_tags library, imported at the top of the template to insert an <img> element, with a fill-320x240 parameter to resize and crop the image to fill a 320x240 rectangle. You can read more about using images in templates in the docs.

Since your gallery images are database objects in their own right, you can now query and re-use them independently of the blog post body. Now, define a main_image method in your BlogPage model, which returns the image from the first gallery item or None if no gallery items exist:

class BlogPage(Page):
    date = models.DateField("Post date")
    intro = models.CharField(max_length=250)
    body = RichTextField(blank=True)
    # Add the main_image method:
    def main_image(self):
        gallery_item = self.gallery_images.first()
        if gallery_item:
            return gallery_item.image
        else:
            return None

    search_fields = Page.search_fields + [
        index.SearchField('intro'),
        index.SearchField('body'),
    ]

    content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
        FieldPanel('date'),
        FieldPanel('intro'),
        FieldPanel('body'),
        InlinePanel('gallery_images', label="Gallery images"),
    ]

This method is now available from your templates. Update blog_index_page.html to load the wagtailimages_tag and include the main image as a thumbnail alongside each post:

<!-- Load wagtailimages_tags: -->
{% load wagtailcore_tags wagtailimages_tags %}

<!-- Modify this: -->
{% for post in blogpages %}
    {% with post=post.specific %}
        <h2><a href="{% pageurl post %}">{{ post.title }}</a></h2>

        <!-- Add this: -->
        {% with post.main_image as main_image %}
            {% if main_image %}{% image main_image fill-160x100 %}{% endif %}
        {% endwith %}

        <p>{{ post.intro }}</p>
        {{ post.body|richtext }}
    {% endwith %}
{% endfor %}

Authors¶

You probably want your blog posts to have authors, which is an essential feature of blogs. The way to go about this is to have a fixed list, managed by the site owner through a separate area of the admin interface.

First, define an Author model. This model isn’t a page in its own right. You have to define it as a standard Django models.Model rather than inheriting from Page. Wagtail introduces the concept of Snippets for reusable pieces of content which don’t exist as part of the page tree themselves. You can manage snippets through the admin interface. You can register a model as a snippet by adding the @register_snippet decorator. Also, you can use all the fields types that you’ve used so far on pages on snippets too.

To create Authors and give each author an author image as well as a name, add the following to blog/models.py:

# Add this to the top of the file
from wagtail.snippets.models import register_snippet

# ... Keep BlogIndexPage, BlogPage, BlogPageGalleryImage models, and then add the Author model:
@register_snippet
class Author(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    author_image = models.ForeignKey(
        'wagtailimages.Image', null=True, blank=True,
        on_delete=models.SET_NULL, related_name='+'
    )

    panels = [
        FieldPanel('name'),
        FieldPanel('author_image'),
    ]

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

    class Meta:
        verbose_name_plural = 'Authors'

Migrate this change by running python manage.py makemigrations and python manage.py migrate. Create a few authors through the Snippets area which now appears in your Wagtail admin interface.

You can now add authors to the BlogPage model, as a many-to-many field. The field type to use for this is ParentalManyToManyField. This field is a variation of the standard Django ManyToManyField that ensures the selected objects are properly associated with the page record in the revision history. It operates in a similar manner to how ParentalKey replaces ForeignKey for one-to-many relations. To add authors to the BlogPage, modify models.py in your blog app folder:

# New imports added for forms and ParentalManyToManyField, and MultiFieldPanel
from django import forms
from django.db import models

from modelcluster.fields import ParentalKey, ParentalManyToManyField
from wagtail.models import Page, Orderable
from wagtail.fields import RichTextField
from wagtail.admin.panels import FieldPanel, InlinePanel, MultiFieldPanel
from wagtail.search import index
from wagtail.snippets.models import register_snippet

class BlogPage(Page):
    date = models.DateField("Post date")
    intro = models.CharField(max_length=250)
    body = RichTextField(blank=True)

    # Add this:
    authors = ParentalManyToManyField('blog.Author', blank=True)

    # ... Keep the main_image method and search_fields definition. Modify your content_panels:
    content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
        MultiFieldPanel([
            FieldPanel('date'),
            FieldPanel('authors', widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple),
        ], heading="Blog information"),
        FieldPanel('intro'),
        FieldPanel('body'),
        InlinePanel('gallery_images', label="Gallery images"),
    ]

In the preceding model modification, you used the widget keyword argument on the FieldPanel definition to specify a more user-friendly checkbox-based widget instead of the default multiple select boxes. Also, you used a MultiFieldPanel in content_panels to group the date and Authors fields together for readability.

Finally, migrate your database by running python manage.py makemigrations and python manage.py migrate. After migrating your database, update the blog_page.html template to display the Authors:

{% block content %}
    <h1>{{ page.title }}</h1>
    <p class="meta">{{ page.date }}</p>

    <!-- Add this: -->
    {% with authors=page.authors.all %}
        {% if authors %}
            <h3>Posted by:</h3>
            <ul>
                {% for author in authors %}
                    <li style="display: inline">
                        {% image author.author_image fill-40x60 style="vertical-align: middle" %}
                        {{ author.name }}
                    </li>
                {% endfor %}
            </ul>
        {% endif %}
    {% endwith %}

    <div class="intro">{{ page.intro }}</div>

    {{ page.body|richtext }}

    {% for item in page.gallery_images.all %}
        <div style="float: left; margin: 10px">
            {% image item.image fill-320x240 %}
            <p>{{ item.caption }}</p>
        </div>
    {% endfor %}

    <p><a href="{{ page.get_parent.url }}">Return to blog</a></p>

{% endblock %}

Now go to your admin interface, in the Sidebar, you can see the new Snippets option. Click this to create your authors. After creating your authors, go to your blog posts and add authors to them. Clicking on your blog posts from your blog index page should now give you a page similar to this image:

Tag posts¶

Let’s say you want to let editors “tag” their posts, so that readers can, for example, view all bicycle-related content together. For this, you have to invoke the tagging system bundled with Wagtail, attach it to the BlogPage model and content panels, and render linked tags on the blog post template. Of course, you’ll also need a working tag-specific URL view as well.

First, alter models.py once more:

from django import forms
from django.db import models

# New imports added for ClusterTaggableManager, TaggedItemBase

from modelcluster.fields import ParentalKey, ParentalManyToManyField
from modelcluster.contrib.taggit import ClusterTaggableManager
from taggit.models import TaggedItemBase

from wagtail.models import Page, Orderable
from wagtail.fields import RichTextField
from wagtail.admin.panels import FieldPanel, InlinePanel, MultiFieldPanel
from wagtail.search import index


# ... Keep the definition of BlogIndexPage model and add a new BlogPageTag model
class BlogPageTag(TaggedItemBase):
    content_object = ParentalKey(
        'BlogPage',
        related_name='tagged_items',
        on_delete=models.CASCADE
    )

# Modify the BlogPage model:
class BlogPage(Page):
    date = models.DateField("Post date")
    intro = models.CharField(max_length=250)
    body = RichTextField(blank=True)
    authors = ParentalManyToManyField('blog.BlogCategory', blank=True)

    # Add this:
    tags = ClusterTaggableManager(through=BlogPageTag, blank=True)

    # ... Keep the main_image method and search_fields definition. Then modify the content_panels:
    content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
        MultiFieldPanel([
            FieldPanel('date'),
            FieldPanel('authors', widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple),

            # Add this:
            FieldPanel('tags'),
        ], heading="Blog information"),
        FieldPanel('intro'),
        FieldPanel('body'),
        InlinePanel('gallery_images', label="Gallery images"),
    ]

Run python manage.py makemigrations and python manage.py migrate.

The changes you made can be summarized as follows:

• New modelcluster and taggit imports

• Addition of a new BlogPageTag model, and a tags field on BlogPage.

Edit one of your BlogPage instances, and you should now be able to tag posts:

To render tags on a BlogPage, add this to blog_page.html:

<p><a href="{{ page.get_parent.url }}">Return to blog</a></p>

<!-- Add this: -->
{% with tags=page.tags.all %}
    {% if tags %}
        <div class="tags">
            <h3>Tags</h3>
            {% for tag in tags %}
                <a href="{% slugurl 'tags' %}?tag={{ tag }}"><button type="button">{{ tag }}</button></a>
            {% endfor %}
        </div>
    {% endif %}
{% endwith %}

Notice that you’re linking to pages here with the builtin slugurl tag rather than pageurl, which you used earlier. The difference is that slugurl takes a Page slug (from the Promote tab) as an argument. pageurl is more commonly used because it’s unambiguous and avoids extra database lookups. But in the case of this loop, the Page object isn’t readily available, so you fall back on the less-preferred slugurl tag.

With the modifications that you’ve made so far, visiting a blog post with tags displays a series of linked buttons at the bottom, one for each tag associated with the post. However, clicking on a button will result in a 404 error page, as you are yet to define a “tags” view.

Return to blog/models.py and add a new BlogTagIndexPage model:

class BlogTagIndexPage(Page):

    def get_context(self, request):

        # Filter by tag
        tag = request.GET.get('tag')
        blogpages = BlogPage.objects.filter(tags__name=tag)

        # Update template context
        context = super().get_context(request)
        context['blogpages'] = blogpages
        return context

Note that this Page-based model defines no fields of its own. Even without fields, subclassing Page makes it a part of the Wagtail ecosystem, so that you can give it a title and URL in the admin, and so that you can manipulate its contents by returning a QuerySet from its get_context() method.

Migrate this by running python manage.py makemigrations and then python manage.py migrate. After migrating the new changes, create a new BlogTagIndexPage in the admin interface. To create the BlogTagIndexPage, follow the same process you followed in creating the BlogIndexPage and give it the slug “tags” on the Promote tab. This means the BlogTagIndexPage is a child of the home page and parallel to Our Blog in the admin interface.

Access /tags and Django will tell you what you probably already knew. You need to create the template, blog/templates/blog/blog_tag_index_page.html and add the following content to it:

{% extends "base.html" %}
{% load wagtailcore_tags %}

{% block content %}

    {% if request.GET.tag %}
        <h4>Showing pages tagged "{{ request.GET.tag }}"</h4>
    {% endif %}

    {% for blogpage in blogpages %}

          <p>
              <strong><a href="{% pageurl blogpage %}">{{ blogpage.title }}</a></strong><br />
              <small>Revised: {{ blogpage.latest_revision_created_at }}</small><br />
          </p>

    {% empty %}
        No pages found with that tag.
    {% endfor %}

{% endblock %}

In the preceding blog_tag_index_page.html template, you’re calling the built-in latest_revision_created_at field on the Page model. It’s handy to know this is always available.

Clicking the tag button at the bottom of a blog post renders a page like this:
