Model path not found

[boutdepapier]

Hi,

Ok you can forget the 2 previous version of the issue :)

It seems Djgno-seo framework don't find my models path... When I save the fields in the admin the "path" row is blank. But If I fixe the path in the database then it works.

Any idea?

Django version: Django version 1.2.5
Python: Python 2.6.1

Thank you in advance,
Benjamin

I'm not entirely sure I understand what your problem is. Does your model define get_absolute_url? Could it be that get_absolute_url fails for some reason?

Yeah you rox ! I am sorry I didn't find anything about this part in the tutorial :(

I have added in my Page model:

        def get_absolute_url(self):
            return ("page", [self.slug])

So now the frameworks works great for : "path" & "model instance" !

I still have trouble for my metadata "view" & "model" part... Do I need to add something in the view or in the urls.py to link the url/view to the model?

Hi again.
Some weeks ago, when i discovered this project, i manage to do exacly what is shown on this post.
Now i have no problem in fetching seo-data related to "model-instances" or "paths"....
Now i'm on another project, and i'm running in the same issue.
Really I don't think that edditing , from admin , the "path" which I want to associate the data is the best way.
One of the nicier things of this app is that a can add "matatags" to my models without needing to add any simgle line of code to the model.
So what I've tried is to use the same "populate_from", and to assign a "default value " when the is no "model_instance":

def populate_title(metadata, model_instance = None, **kwargs):
    print kwargs
    #Si la petición de meta info viene asociada a la instancia de un modelo            
    if model_instance:      
        return u'HELLA - %s -%s - '  % (model_instance._meta.verbose_name ,smart_unicode(model_instance.heading, encoding='utf-8', strings_only=False, errors='strict'))
    else:
  return 'Hella - mAIN cATEGORRY PAGE'

With this, now i have a "fallback" for this Metadatamodel, when used from my "category" template as this:

 {% block seo %}
{% load seo %}  
    {% get_metadata MyMetadata %}
 {%endblock %}

But now i'm running into another little issue (i'm sure that this is not the rigth way of facing this ...but...is the only way i havefound).

i'm trying to "reuse" the same method ("populate_title") for more than one Model. I also have more than one "SeoModel) So..i call the same "populate_from" from both SeoModels.

When the method is called i try to determine the class (model_instance) and build a diferente "tag".
The only point of doing this is having all the logic of tags assigning in one method ( outside from my app models).
The code looks like this:

 def populate_title(metadata, model_instance = None, **kwargs):
    #if model instance exists   
    if model_instance:      
        #post innovaciones
        if model_instance._meta.verbose_name == PostInnovaciones._meta.verbose_name:        
            return u'HELLA - %s -%s - '  % (model_instance._meta.verbose_name ,smart_unicode(model_instance.heading, encoding='utf-8', strings_only=False, errors='strict'))
        #novedades
        elif  model_instance._meta.verbose_name == Novedades._meta.verbose_name:
            return u'HELLA - %s -%s - '  % (model_instance._meta.verbose_name ,smart_unicode(model_instance.heading, encoding='utf-8', strings_only=False, errors='strict'))
    #if no model instance
    else:
        #post innovaciones
        if model_instance._meta.verbose_name == PostInnovaciones._meta.verbose_name:        
            return u'HELLA - %s -'  % (model_instance._meta.verbose_name )
        #novedades
        elif  model_instance._meta.verbose_name == Novedades._meta.verbose_name:
            return u'HELLA - %s -%s - '  % (model_instance._meta.verbose_name )

Obviosly the last part of the code (after "else") is not working, because the is no "model_instance".
So... i've two diferent questions:

• Which is the right way of assigning "matainfo" to the "model" it self.
• If there is not an answer to this ( sure there is one, but i'm to stupid to see it), ¿is there any way of finding who has called the "propulate_title" method (when no model instance is linked), so i can show create the proper "tag".

Thanks in advance.
