juanpex / django-model-i18n Goto Github PK

Hello Juanpex,
I have try the app and i think it is the best approach to a translation system for django. I have made an example, and i can see the tables new_translation and new_translations, but i cant see any way to fill them from the admin. My admin file for this app has the following code:

from django.contrib import admin
from .models import New

admin.site.register(New)

I have configured the languages in settings:

LANGUAGES = (
  ('en', 'English'),
  ('es', 'Español'),
  ('fr', 'Français'),
)
LANGUAGE_CODE = 'es'

and the model is quite simple:

from django.db import models

class New(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    subtitle = models.CharField(max_length=256, null=True)    
    image = models.ImageField(upload_to = 'news', null=True, blank=True)

but it does not show the subforms for the translation in the admin.

Hi, I think I finally found the issue that I had a hard time identifying.

I have a few models that define or use custom managers.
It would seem that, in such cases, we lose the translation...

Here's an example:

app/models.py:

class MyClassManager(models.Manager):
    def get_query_set(self):
        now = timezone.now()
        return super(MyClassManager, self).get_query_set()
    def get_active(self):
        now = timezone.now()
        return super(MyClassManager, self).get_query_set() \
                .filter(status='p') \
                .filter(end_date__gte=now)        def get_active(self):

class MyClass(models.Model):
        text = models.CharField(...)
        status = CharField(...)
        end_date = models.DateTimeField()
        objects = active = MyClassManager()

app/translations.py:

from model_i18n import translator     # django-model-i18n
from .models import Announcement

class AnnouncementTranslation(translator.ModelTranslation):
    fields = ('title','body')
translator.register(Announcement, AnnouncementTranslation)

app/views.py:

class DetailView(generic.DetailView):
    ...
    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super(DetailView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context['c1'] = MyClass.objects.get_active().filter(field=...)   # not translated
        context['c2'] = MyClass.active.filter(field=...)   # not translated either

apps/templates/app/detail.html:

{% load_i18n %}
{% mycontext %}

I'm not sure I'm doing everything right...
I didn't want to override get_query_set directly because there are cases where I want objects to remain unfiltered.
Any idea?

What's the point of the m2m relationship? It seems to produce an empty table that's never used. Am I missing something?

Hi Juanpex,

The follow change assumes that the settings module will point to a file located in the base of the project directory. It causes the app to break when installed into projects that don't have a traditional settings.py file. I'm not clear as to why to made this change but it's causing my site to break.

Just trying to better understand. Thanks,
Kenzic
