django-autoslug 1.7.2

An automated slug field for Django.

Django-autoslug is a reusable Django library that provides an improved slug field which can automatically:

1. populate itself from another field,

2. preserve uniqueness of the value and

3. use custom slugify() functions for better i18n.

Requirements

Obviously, a more or less recent version of Django.

The following versions of Python are officially supported: 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, PyPy.

It may be possible to successfully use django-autoslug in other environments but they are not tested.

Examples

A simple example:

from django.db.models import CharField, Model
from autoslug import AutoSlugField

class Article(Model):
    title = CharField(max_length=200)
    slug = AutoSlugField(populate_from='title')

More complex example:

from django.db.models import CharField, DateField, ForeignKey, Model
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from autoslug import AutoSlugField

class Article(Model):
    title = CharField(max_length=200)
    pub_date = DateField(auto_now_add=True)
    author = ForeignKey(User)
    slug = AutoSlugField(populate_from=lambda instance: instance.title,
                         unique_with=['author__name', 'pub_date__month'],
                         slugify=lambda value: value.replace(' ','-'))
