Hey J M. You shouldn't need the models.py file. I think you if you add the
following to your admin.py you will be good to go.
from copy import deepcopy
from django.contrib import admin
from mezzanine.blog.admin import BlogCategoryAdmin
from mezzanine.blog.models import BlogCategory
blog_fieldsets = deepcopy(BlogCategoryAdmin.fieldsets)
blog_fieldsets[0][1]["fields"].extend(["catType"])
class MyBlogCategoryAdmin(BlogCategoryAdmin):
fieldsets = blog_fieldsets
if BlogCategory in admin.site._registry:
admin.site.unregister(BlogCategory)
admin.site.register(BlogCategory, MyBlogCategoryAdmin)
if BlogCategory in admin.site._registry:
admin.site.unregister(BlogCategory)
