Ok i think i might have figured it out, I needed to hook the save_related()
method from BlogPostAdmin
not sure if this is the correct way tho, i just hooked into
__getattribute__, and watched for any methods that looked useful
so i ended up adding the following to BlogPostAdmin
def save_related(self, request, form, formsets, change):
aaa = super(BlogPostAdmin, self).save_related(request, form,
formsets, change)
cats = form.instance.categories.all()
parents = []
for a in cats:
maxx = 10
while a.parent_category != None and maxx > 0:
parents.append(a.parent_category)
a = a.parent_category
maxx = maxx - 1
for a in parents:
form.instance.categories.add(a)
return aaa
not sure if i need the loop counter, i just get nervous when using while
loops lol
