I like "parameters", it wouldn't get confused with settings.py and accurately describes what it does.. but problem is with name clashes... what if I have a field called parameters (or constants for that matter)? i think this could work a bit as a Manager class: class MyParams( params.Parameters ): max_items = params.IntegerParam( 'Max ........', default=6, ) class MyModel( models.Model ): field1 = models.... field2 = models.... params = MyParams() that way you can choose the name for the pseudo-field and also reuse your parameters (DRY: I want max_items on many models, I want it to be simple to reuse these params) > Integration with the admin interface would be also a nice thing! definitely > Anyway, it's a nice contrib I think almost everyone here has thought about > something to handle model specific settings sometime and has large > settings.py :) definetely ;) > > My 0.02, and mine > Marc > > > > > -- Honza Kr�l E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ#: 107471613 Phone: +420 606 678585 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
