Django CMS: Set default placeholder value when page was created

Question

I'm new in Django CMS. When I create my new page, I have to choose placeholders and plugins. Is possible to set all default plugins at post_save? Thanks.

You can do this with settings by setting the default_plugins attribute of the placeholder in CMS_PLACEHOLDER_CONF;

CMS_PLACEHOLDER_CONF = {
    'content': {
        'plugins': ['TextPlugin', 'PicturePlugin'],
        'name': gettext("Content"),
        'language_fallback': True,
        'default_plugins': [
            {
                'plugin_type': 'TextPlugin',
                'values': {
                    'body':'<p>Default text plugin for the `content` placeholder...</p>',
                },
            },
        ],
    },
}

Then any page with the content placeholder will be created with a TextPlugin containing <p>Default text plugin for thecontentplaceholder...</p>
