Installation

To use the Category model

1. Install django-categories:

   pip install django-categories
   

2. Add "categories" and "categories.editor" to your INSTALLED_APPS list in your project’s settings.py file.

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       # ...
       "categories",
       "categories.editor",
   ]
   

3. Run ./manage.py syncdb (or ./manage.py migrate categories if you are using South)

To only subclass CategoryBase

If you are going to create your own models using CategoryBase, (see Creating Custom Categories) you’ll need a few different steps.

1. Install django-categories:

   pip install django-categories
   

2. Add "categories.editor" to your INSTALLED_APPS list in your project’s settings.py file.

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       # ...
       "categories.editor",
   ]
   

3. Create your own models.
