Customize flatpage

[galago]

I found that link: http://linfiniti.com/2011/01/bending-django-flatpages-to-your-will. I want to make some customization in flatpage. Where should I put this extra module and form?

I want to add 2 fields to custom flatpage.

You can put it everywhere in your project, I think the best would be
putting it in app_name/models.py (or creating another app just for the
flatpage); then you have to referenciate it in the app_name/admin.py, in
the line:

from models import ExtendedFlatPage

Would be

from app_name.models import ExtendedFlatPage

Good luck,
Andres

Should I alternate original flatpage midddleware?

If I won't do that, my new fields can be unseen?

No, you don't have to change the middleware.

AFAIK the middleware [0] the only thing it does is capture the 404 and
try to get the flatpage.

Also check this stack overflow question [1], I think is what you're
trying to do.
