Hi Adam,
Thank you for your help.
Yes, we have copied the resource.py file into our app - it is in the same
directory as forms.py, ../our app/our app/models. However, the settings.py
file (and compiled version) has been modified slightly differently from
what you suggest and is located in ...../our app/our app. As I do not know
python, I do not know if this is effectively the same:
RESOURCE_MODEL = {'default': 'ead.models.resource.Resource'} where 'ead' is
our app.
(In the past we have managed to compile python programs but the technician
involved cannot now be contacted and I do not know what has changed.)
Thanks, Lucy
