Hey Preethi, why not just override the save method of Category. The
following is pseudo code so it'll require some cleanup:
class Category(Page):
"""
A category for grouping activities
"""
category_type = models.CharField(max_length=15,
choices=settings.CATEGORY_TYPES, default='M')
def save():
if self.parent and self.parent.content_type == 'category':
self.category_type = self.parent.category_type
super(Category, self).save()
