django-siteprefs 0.7.0

Reusable app for Django introducing site preferences system

http://github.com/idlesign/django-siteprefs

What’s that

django-siteprefs allows Django applications settings to come alive

Let’s suppose you have your pretty settings.py file with you application:

from django.conf import settings

MY_OPTION_1 = getattr(settings, 'MY_APP_MY_OPTION_1', True)
MY_OPTION_2 = getattr(settings, 'MY_APP_MY_OPTION_2', 'Some value')
MY_OPTION_42 = getattr(settings, 'MY_APP_MY_OPTION_42', 42)

Now you want these options to be exposed to Django Admin interface. Just add the following:

# To be sure our app is still functional without django-siteprefs.
if 'siteprefs' in settings.INSTALLED_APPS:
    from siteprefs.toolbox import patch_locals, register_prefs

    patch_locals()  # This bootstrap is required before `register_prefs` step.

    # And that's how we expose our options to Admin.
    register_prefs(MY_OPTION_1, MY_OPTION_2, MY_OPTION_42)

After that you can view your settings in Django Admin.

If you want those settings to be editable through the Admin - siteprefs allows that too, and even more.
