Thank you for the reply Stephen. I don't know if I'm missing something but I'm still having some problems with this.
You say: > You'll see an "Add product" dropdown list (presumably with only one item > in it in your case, namely BaseProduct), which is how you choose which type > of product you're adding. > But no matter what I do I don't see any such dropdown, I've created an example project based on the guide from https://github.com/stephenmcd/cartridge/blob/master/docs/components.rst and have pushed this up to a simple github repo at https://github.com/petedermott/cartridge-example. In short, my models.py look like this: from django.db import models from cartridge.shop.models import Product # Create your models here. class SubclassedProduct(Product): test = models.CharField(blank=True, null=True, max_length=255) and my admin.py looks like this: from django.contrib import admin from cartridge.shop.admin import ProductAdmin from test_products.models import SubclassedProduct # Register your models here. admin.site.register(SubclassedProduct, ProductAdmin) Is there something obvious I'm missing?
