LayerMapping disregards model inheritance

[omat]

Hi,

With 2 models as such:

class Place(models.Model):
location = models.PointField()

class Hotel(Place):
name = models.DateTimeField()


While I can import into Place using LayerMapping, when I try to import
into Hotel:

mapping = {'name': 'name',
'location': 'POINT'}
LayerMapping(Hotel, ds, mapping)

I get a:

LayerMapError: Geometry column does not exist for model


As it looks like a bug, I created a ticket for this:
http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/12093

But, with the hope of getting an advice for a quick fix, I am posting
it here too.


Thanks,
omat

You put objects =  models.GeoManager() in your model, right?

Yes, but only into the base model, i.e. Place in the example.

Makes no difference if I put an extra
objects = models.GeoManager()
in the inherited model too.

omat,

Thanks for reporting this as a bug in ticket #12093. I just committed
fixes to trunk and the 1.1.X branch in r11703 and r11704, respectively.

Best Regards,
