### models.py

For basic news, you just have to inherit from NewsboxCMSBase :

    from newsbox_cms.models import NewsboxCMSBase
    from newsbox.models import NewsboxBase
    
    class News(NewsboxCMSBase, NewsboxBase):
        
        class Meta:
            newsbox_detail_url_name = "news_detail"  # optional

You can create news with i18n via I18N. Inherit first from NewsboxI18NBase, then
from NewsboxCMSBase :

    from newsbox_cms.models import NewsboxCMSBase
    from newsbox_i18n.models import NewsboxI18NBase
    
    class News(NewsboxI18NBase, NewsboxCMSBase):
        
        class Meta:
            newsbox_detail_url_name = "news_detail"  # optional

If you need SEO fields and/or expiration fields, inherit from 
NewsboxSEOBase and/or NewsboxExpiredBase :

    from newsbox.models import NewsboxSEOBase, NewsboxExpiredBase
    from newsbox_cms.models import NewsboxCMSBase
    
    class News(NewsboxCMSBase, NewsboxSEOBase, NewsboxExpiredBase):
        
        class Meta:
            newsbox_detail_url_name = "news_detail"  # optional

For the plugin, you just have to inherit from NewsboxPluginBase :

    from newsbox_cms.models import NewsboxPluginBase
    
    class NewsPlugin(NewsboxPluginBase):
        newsbox_model = News


### cms_apps.py

Nothing special here. Just create your basic cms app :
	
    from cms.app_base import CMSApp
    from cms.apphook_pool import apphook_pool

	@apphook_pool.register
    class NewsApphook(CMSApp):
        name = _("News")
        urls = ["myproject.news_urls"]


### news_urls.py

This file is used by your CMS App. You have to specify the news detail URL and
set the template and the model to use for this url.

    from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
    from newsbox.views import NewsboxDetailView
    from .models import News
    
    urlpatterns = patterns(
        '',
        url(
            r'^(?P<year>\d{4})/(?P<month>\d{2})/(?P<day>\d{2})/(?P<slug>[0-9a-zA-Z_-]+)/$', 
            NewsboxDetailView.as_view(
                template_name="myproject/news_detail.html",
                model=News,),
            name='news_detail'),
    )

### cms_plugin.py

You just have to inherit from NewsboxPluginBase to create a plugin to manage 
your news.

    from cms.plugin_pool import plugin_pool
    from newsbox_cms.cms_plugins import NewsboxPluginBase
    from .models import NewsPlugin as NewsPluginModel


    class NewsPlugin(NewsboxPluginBase):
        model = NewsPluginModel

    plugin_pool.register_plugin(NewsPlugin)
