title: Is the Django-cms addon, Aldryn news/blog; extensible?
body: <p>I am using Django-cms to create a blog. In order to create the blog posts themselves, I am trying Aldryn news/blog.</p>
  
  <p>My question is, is there a way to add additional fields to the template for this particular addon?</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/8IetN.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">&lt;&lt; Default news/blog template layout image >></a></p>
  
  <p>What I am trying to do is to split each post into elements, which will be common across most/all posts for a given category.</p>
  
  <p>Then I could call each posts "elements" as such:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{% if placeholder "contentElement_1" %}
  &lt;some styling&gt;
      {% placeholder "contentElement_1" %}
  &lt;/some styling&gt;
  {% endif %}
  
  &lt;some Style&gt;&lt;/&gt;
  
  {% if placeholder "contentElement_2" %}
  &lt;some styling&gt;
          {% placeholder "contentElement_2" %}
  &lt;/some styling&gt;
  {% endif %}
  
  &lt;some Style&gt;&lt;/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>etc...</p>
  
  <p>With this I have flexibility with regard to ad placement, accordions, cards and other styling within the html template, in and around the post elements.</p>
  
  <p>As I see it, with "Aldryn news/blog" I get one (% placeholder "content" %}, a title, and that's it.</p>
  
  <p>What Ive tried, future considerations:</p>
  
  <p>I'm assuming what I am looking for would create additional database fields for each "content element" as well. Which I would like for a later date to possibly be able to call for particular elements of any post within filtered search results or other aggregator type functions.</p>
  
  <p>That previous paragraph is not a show stopper at this point, I want this blog up and running soon; but it would be ideal future consideration.</p>
  
  <p>Being newer to django and django-cms, but somewhat familiar with python; I have spent only a short time messing with placeholders. However, it seems as though I can only add global placeholders to the blog pages anyways; and not post specific ones.</p>
  
  <p>Suggestions:</p>
  
  <p>Alternately, if this particular addon is not the answer, any suggestions to achieve this model would be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Extra Info for context:</p>
  
  <p>I am using a tutorial at <a href="http://support.divio.com/en/collections/69450-academy#guide-how-to-build-a-website-and-blog-with-django-cms" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://support.divio.com/en/collections/69450-academy#guide-how-to-build-a-website-and-blog-with-django-cms</a> ; as a basis for my initial work.</p>
  
  <p>However I am using Foundation instead of bootstrap, and possibly adding Redis or neo4j to the app in the near term, to both support a future social element, and I am theorizing that I might have more flexibility and simplification of queries in the future with a graph or multi database than an SQL in pursuing this "individual post elements" idea among others.</p>
