Thank you for that, I will have to study that because it is a lot
cleaner than what I did.
I added the following to my City model below Class Meta:
def save(self):
slug_parts = self.slug.split('-')
num_slugs = len(slug_parts)
state_position = (num_slugs - 1)
state = State.objects.get(id=slug_parts[state_position])
state_slug = state.state.lower()
city_slug = ''
for i in range (0, (state_position)):
city_slug += slug_parts[i] + '-'
self.slug = "%s%s" % ( city_slug, state_slug )
super(City, self).save()
I know it's hack a job.
