I sounds to me like django evolutions could be your fix.

Thanks for these links.

django-mptt looks especially interesting. I had heard of this technique, but never quite got my head round it. Nice to see a django app for this.

You should use the following:
http://code.google.com/p/django-mptt/

Also useful to look at the source of this project already done:

Have you tried http://code.google.com/p/django-mptt/ ? I used it to create a Page model which can be organised hierarchically. It also has some useful properties like constant time to lookup all children.

The more correct way to do this would be like threaded comments are handled. It should work with just storing the parent FK. There is a good implementation of threaded comments bundled as a Django app, so you can see what to do:

Your solution would be a bit more simple, but you can get the general idea. And then since this is a menu that will be shown on every page you should definitely make sure this is a cached value.

@diNObot,

Thanks for the link. I have heard about this project and it certainly sounds interesting. It’s certainly something I’ll be looking into once I have more experience with Django.

Comment on Modifying the default Django admin site by contentedweb

@Joshua,

It is, indeed modifying the admin site. The tutorial itself talks about customising it. If you customise something you are modifying it. It is certainly not using the admin site. Using the admin site would be actually inserting and modifying content, which is not something this blog entry is about.

That’s not ‘modifying’ the admin, that is ‘using’ the admin.
