Converting an app to a CMS app

The simplest Django CMS website will have the whole page tree created using administration interface. However, for real-world cases, you will probably need to show forms or lists of objects under some page nodes. If you have created an app that is responsible for some type of objects in your website, such as movies, you can easily convert it to a Django CMS app and attach it to one of the pages. This will ensure that the root URL of the app is translatable and the menu item is highlighted when selected. In this recipe, we will convert the movies app to a CMS app.

Getting ready

Let's start with the movies app that we created in the Filtering object lists recipe in Chapter 3, Forms and Views.
