Given that the rate of change in Cartridge is *very* low, this shouldn't be
a problem. Depend on your private fork of Cartridge, and updating should be
as simple as merging upstream changes when they do infrequently occur. For
the small price to pay of needing some way to keep on top of those changes,
and the manual task of having to resolve conflicts should they occur, you
gain unlimited ability to customize.

Re: [mezzanine-users] Cartridge customisation

Hi Simon,

I did this years ago using a Django scheduling app (calendarium, at the
time) to manage the scheduling and Cartridge to do the product. This was
non-trivial. I would probably use
https://github.com/llazzaro/django-scheduler today, combining the Event
model with the Product model in some way.

[mezzanine-users] Cartridge customisation

[Simon Bradley]

Hi

I've read a lot of posts about customising cartridge but they tend to be 
issue specific.

I've only just started using mezzanine and cartridge and while i've found 
mezzanine very easy to bend to my will, i'm struggling with how to 
customise cartridge.

I'm trying to build a location booking system.

It's really easy to get the default shop up and running which is fantastic. 
I've done that and added various products with the admin interface and that 
all works great.

Now i want to customise the product view to remove the quantity field and 
to add from and to dates. Just basic booking stuff like you'd get on 
booking.com. The simple way appears to be to just edit the model but then 
what happens if i want to update my installed version of cartridge? That's 
a real concern if there's a security issue. And of course i'd like to avoid 
building in my own security problems!

I've read through the docs on integration and sub classing the order form 
and then removing the fields i dont want (Which is most of them). I dont 
need shipping and what have you either because there's no physical product.

However, it seems on the face of it to be much simpler to just edit the 
models.

So, i was wondering if there's a way to make these fairly simple 
modifications without just copying the cartridge folder into my project and 
hacking it to pieces and then making the necessary migrations! Or is that 
common?

Sorry this sounds so clueless, I'm really just looking for some sound 
advice.

Cheers.
