Hi, My app uses a model called Site which is essentially the same as in the django.contrib.sites framework (domain and name), except that my model needs an extra field and is related through a foreign key to another model. (It is related to a model called Client, which stores all my Clients, and the relationship translates to "Client owns zero or more Sites").
I am wondering: should I use the django.contrib.sites framework? and, what would be the best method of extending django.contrib.sites.models.Site? I am inclined to try to take advantage of Django's Site model, as redefining a separate Site system is a very obvious case of redundant, "boilerplate" code. So my question comes down to: any ideas on how to do this? I could use multi-table inheritance and extend the Site class, which would create a new table that with a foreign key linking it to to the django_sites table. But I don't like this solution. I would rather use the Abstract base classes method of inheritance, meaning there is only one django_sites table. But this would mean hacking the source code of the django.contrib.sites.models.Site class to add the abstract = True to the Meta class, etc. Changing the source code doesn't sound like a good idea either; it could cause issues with upgrading the sites framework, etc. There may be a simple solution in the form of a language feature I'm not familiar with (I'm a Python beginner). I'm thinking along the lines of modifying django.contrib.sites.models.Site's inner Meta class at runtime, before extending it with my customized Site model. Thanks in advance for any ideas. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group. To post to this group, send email to django-us...@googlegroups.com.
