I have attempted an upgrade from Mezzanine 4.0 and Django 1.8 to Mezzanine 4.1 and Django 1.9. There are some stumbling blocks, so I wanted to share my experience:
- The easiest way to upgrade is pip install -U mezzanine. Don't forget to pip freeze afterwards! - Modify settings.py. TEMPLATE_DIRS and TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS have been absorbed by TEMPLATES - Modify urls.py. Now patterns is a plain list, so individual entries need to be calls to url() - Also on urls.py, i18n_patterns is deprecated - Aaaaaand, all view functions need to be imported, a dotted path won't cut it - Make sure you update your other dependencies, most packages have also released new versions for Django 1.9 (django-debug-toolbar, for example) Pro tip: I usually just copy Mezzanine's default settings.py and urls.py into my project and use a diffing tool to catch the differences and restore any customizations. Sadly, I can't get runserver to work when I enable EXTRA_MODEL_FIELDS. I'm injecting a single field and managing the migrations via MIGRATION_MODULES (not sure if that's relevant). I'll open an issue to further debug this one. It seems to go away if I downgrade to Django 1.8.8. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Mezzanine Users" group.
