django-shop-categories 0.8.beta.0

Installation

For the current stable version:

pip install django-shop-categories

For the development version:

pip install -e git+git://github.com/fivethreeo/django-shop-categories.git#egg=django-shop-categories

Configuration

Add shop_categories to settings.INSTALLED_APPS.

Set SHOP_PRODUCT_MODEL to shop_categories.models.default.product.default.CategoryProduct.

In your urls.py add this before your shop patterns:

urlpatterns += patterns('',
    url(r'^catalog/', include('shop_categories.urls')),
)

Then run:

manage.py syncdb

Extending

In your own app make a models dir with __init__.py and a category.py dir, like so:

app/models/__init__.py
app/models/category.py

In category.py:

from django.db import models
from shop_categories.models.defaults.category.base import ProductCategoryBase

class Category(ProductCategoryBase):

    image = models.ImageField(upload_to='categoryimages/', null=True, blank=True)

    class Meta:
        abstract = False
        app_label = 'app'

Set CATEGORYPRODUCT_CATEGORY_MODEL to app.models.category.Category

Then, assuming your Product model is not already synced, run:

manage.py syncdb

When extending Product models in your shop make sure they subclass from shop_categories.models.defaults.product.base.CategoryProductBase
