django-livesettings integration

[Lloyd Philbrook]

Hello,

Awesome package.  It really does make the django admin presentable to clients out the box.  Thanks!

I am trying to integrate django-livesettings.  I created a custommenu (menu.py) file and added a link to the livesettings url (admin/settings).  This works without a problem.  My issue is the application & administration menu are empty when I am on the admin/settings page.  Also, the selected class doesn't seem to be activated on this menu item.  Let me know if you need anymore information.

Thanks in advance.

I also like very much this addin. Since I am django/python newbie it
helps me a lot in developing simple content management system.
I am not familiar with livesetting but if it might help this is what I
do in my custom menu.
In my custom menu inside the init_with_context method if put code
similar to the following:

contextMenu=items.MenuItem(_('Context menu'))
prog = re.compile('^/myproject/auth/user/(\d+)/$')

result=prog.match(context['request'].META['PATH_INFO'])
if result:
userPK=int(re.split('(\d
+)',context['request'].META['PATH_INFO'])[1])
contextMenu.children.append(items.MenuItem(_('Link
admin profile'),url='/myproject/registracija/opcija/linkadmin/%s/' %
userPK))

if contextMenu.children:
self.children.append(contextMenu)

In that way I link custom behaviour in various points.
You could similarly add where you need manually all the models if for
any reason they are not included with AppList.

Nenad,

I assumed I'd have to play around with context.  I'll give it a try.  Thanks.

The menu items are there.  They just are not displaying on role over.  That was a few wasted hours.  Time to mess with the js and css.

Ok I figured it out.  The admin/base.css was being called before {{ block.super }}.  just duplicated livesettings/group_settings.html
