How to add the tab editing style to your custom plugins

If you prefer the tabbed frontend editing style of djangocms-frontend you can easily add it to your own plugins.

If you use the standard editing form, just add a line specifying the change_form_template to your plugin class:

class MyCoolPlugin(CMSPluginBase):
    ...
    change_form_template = "djangocms_frontend/admin/base.html"
    ...

If you already have your own change_form_template, make sure it extends djangocms_frontend/admin/base.html:

{% extends "djangocms_frontend/admin/base.html" %}
{% block ...%}
    ...
{% endblock %}
