So I've actually run into a new problem: declaring the permalink for only the inherited models works fine, but whenever I query the database using the base model's manager (so I can get results from all of the inherited models), the resulting objects that are returned use the base model's permalink method, instead of the appropriate inherited model's method.
Is there a way to redirect the method that is used so the "Article" get_absolute_url is called instead of the "Content" one? I would assume some sort of filter in the parent model's method that could check the class of the object in question, and call that model's get_absolute_url...?
