Maybe I'm not setting up my models correctly but I like setting up a
slug charfield that prepopulates from the category_name charfield. The
javascript works just fine when I create a new category but when I want
to alter my category django automatically sets:
document.getElementById("id_slug")._changed = true
which means that as I type in the new category_name the slug is
unresponsive. I have to manually changed the slug or modify the
auto_populate templatetag. Is there some reason why django doesn't
want the slug to change consistently with my category_name? I don't
know much about database indexing (db_index) so maybe that's why I'm
confused. I suppose that there is an argument that a slug is often
used in urls which should never change but I think more important to
have a url that makes sense than to have a permanent url that maps the
slug 'ruby-on-rails' to the category 'Django Rox'
category_name = models.CharField(maxlength=100)
slug = models.SlugField(prepopulate_from=('category_name',),
unique=True,)
