A way to handle one or more hierarchical category trees in django.

Project description

This app attempts to provide a generic category system that multiple apps could use. It uses MPTT for the tree storage and provides a custom admin for better visualization (copied and modified from feinCMS).

Goals of the project

  • Have a generic method for handling hierarchical data

  • Allow multiple independent trees, or just one tree

  • Have a widget for use in forms

  • In templates:

    • Show one level of a tree
      • All root categories

      • Just children of a specified category

    • Show multiple levels
      • Ancestors of category, category and all children of category

      • Category and its children

    • An inclusion tag for common methods of formatting categories
      • Grandparent :: Parent :: Child <– current node
        • Add relative links for ancestors

      • Unordered list:
        • Grandparent
          • Parent <– current node
            • Child 1

            • Child 2

            • Child n
