Hello,
I am programming (and learning django+python) a CMS. The core is working,
now I am adding features and utils. One of them is a contact form. I have
default functionality, but I want the user to overwrite default contact
form in case he wants some fields added/removed or add some other things.
I have made it an ugly way:
- minicms project is the CMS, usersproject is a project using minicms
- I have default ContactForm in minicms.plugins.contactform app
- I have user defined ContactForm which inherits from
minicms.plugins.contactform.forms.ContactForm
- I have custom template tag (in minicms.plugins.contactform.templatetags)
which ask django.conf.settings where is user's custom form ( CONTACT_FORM
= {'custom_form': 'usersproject.forms',} ), if it is defined, I import
CONTACT_FORM['custom_form'].ContactForm instead of default
minicms.plugins.contactform.forms.ContactForm
- displaying and processing of the form is now not important
This is not a very good way. Somewhere I have seen a technique, where
parent object is "notified" or does know about objects which inherited
from it. So I could inherit in userproject.forms.CustomContactForm from
minicms.plugins.contactform.forms.ContactForm and in custom template tag
import only minicms.plugins.contactform.forms.ContactForm (or some wrapper
object) and it will be much cleaner. Can somebody point me to (or explain)
this technique or show me some examples I can learn from? Or perhaps
another approach to solve this problem.
Thanks,
Martin
