Can you subclass a gallery?

[Evan Cordulack]

Hi All,

I couldn't find this in the documentation or with a search, so I feel like I am missing something simple.

Can you subclass a gallery or do you need to use field injection?

I am wondering if something like this is possible:

models.py

-------------------

from mezzanine.galleries.models import Gallery

class sampleContentType(Gallery):

  extraFieldName = models.BooleanField(verbose_name="This field is just an example and could be anything")

admin.py

--------------------

from mezzanine.galleries.admin import GalleryAdmin

admin.site.register(sampleContentType, GalleryAdmin)

When I tried something like this, I got an "Key u'gallery_ptr' not found in Form" error message.

  

Thanks!

Evan

More generally, you can't subclass concrete page classes, see the note just above this docs section:
