After installing the plugin (including migrations) and then adding a first news item (via admin interface) results in the form being accepted but no news items appear on the list.
Second time around everything works.
Tested on both local development server and staging serwer, same issue.

I got the following error when performing ./manage.py migrate on an empty database: django.db.utils.OperationalError: no such table: django_site

When I remove 'cmsplugin_newsplus' from INSTALLED_APPS the migrate goes fine. If I add 'cmsplugin_newsplus' later and then migrate it also goes fine.

Even more, emptying the urls list in the cms_app.py also helps, so it seems something goes wrong there.

I'm using python3.4 and Django CMS 3.0.12

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks ahead.

I would be nice to have a template tag to include a configurable number of last news items on a page.
Apart from the excellent admin integration, it is hard for a newcomer like me to comprehend how exactly to integrate the app into the project.

I can see the options in the advanced settings section of a page, but setting the news app sort of hijacks the page template and renders it with a completely bare template.

I need a method for including the news in my own template.

Package fails to install on early versions of pip. Looks like this package had same issue and a viable alternative in setup.py
