Django app allowing users to set app specific preferences through the admin interface.
Project description
Django app allowing users to set app specific preferences through the admin interface.
Provides singleton admin views for Preferences objects and a simple interface to preference values. Singleton views ensures only one preference intance is available for each Preferences class.
Installation
Add preferences to your INSTALLED APPS setting.
Add preferences url include to the project’s url.py file BEFORE your admin urls include statement. Make sure to use ‘admin/’ as the start of the include’s path since it will override certain admin views:
(r'^admin/', include('preferences.urls')),
Usage
To create preferences for your app create a model storing your preferences as normal, with the model inheriting from preferences.models.Preferences. Also specify preferences.models as your models module:
from django.db import models from preferences.models import Preferences class MyPreferences(Preferences): __module__ = 'preferences.models' portal_contact_email = models.EmailField()
Admin classes are specified as per usual, no changes are needed. Your preferences will show up under the Preferences app label in Django admin.
Preferences can be accessed in python by importing the preferences module and traversing to your required preferences in the form preferences.<ModelName>.<field>, i.e.:
from preferences import preferences portal_contact_email = preferences.MyPreferences.portal_contact_email
