django-categories 0.4.8

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

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
