django-legaltext

Legaltext is a Django application to help managing legal text versioning (e.g. terms of condition, pr privacy policy). It also supports versioning of the corresponding checkbox labels.

Features

The application consists of multiple parts and helpers:

• Models to maintain legal texts, their versions and checkboxes
• Model field to store the accepted version of a legal text (with support to auto-fetched default of current version)
• Form field to render the widget which outputs the configured checkboxes just using the legal text slug
• Admin interface to maintain the legal texts, adding new version with prefilling, and export
• Templatetag legaltext_url

You just need to add a new model field to your models and set the correct formfield in the corresponding forms.

class YourForm(forms.ModelForm):

        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
