Impossible to configure about django-shop HOT 10 CLOSED

The documentation seems not to be up-to-date anymore. Sorry about that.

Could you try the following? :

from shop.models.defaults.bases import BaseCart
class MyCart(BaseCart):
    class Meta(object):
        pass

And add this to you SHOP_CART_MODEL ?

Notice - this is similar to your second example, but in your second example MyCart still extends "Cart" - Not BaseCart.

Let me know if this helps. Once you confirm it works I'll update the docs.

Thank you for fast reply

But it does not help me and raise same
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Backend module "apps.carts.models" does not define a "MyCart" class.

In my second example i mean just this, but i don't use copy-paste and rewrite first example :)

So, i still need help. In case of enmergency i have monkey patching solution, but i hate it and always try to find technological solution

Ok, I'll investigate on my side how I do it on the sites that use this trick.
Sorry about this. I'll get back to you ASAP.

Hi again.

I had a look at the shop where we use the model injection, and discovered that we actually rewrote models - not extended them. So a semi-ugly fix is to make your Cart extend models.Model, and re implement the methods on there. This is ugly because obviously it's not DRY, but it at least does the job until a better fix is discovered (I'll spend some of my time investigating further).

Thanks

I think eged is better describe this problem it issue #96
In addition he suggested solutions.
Is there any progress?

from django-shop.

I was able to workaround the problem by modifying get_model_string() in shop.util.loader. See commit 9d63a63
Not sure how much viable solution it is generally, but works for me so far.

Same issue applies to custom Order models as well.

UPDATE: I am not sure if it really applies to custom Order models, would have to test it further

eged, i was trying your commit and it does not work for me.
when i try syncdb i was take
Error: One or more models did not validate:
shop.cartitem: 'cart' has a relation with model apps.customshop.cart.models.Cart, which has either not been installed or is abstract.

in this case i use my model based to CartBase from defaults models. of course abstact was False

There is one case when i take a profit
I was created Cart model identical to CartBase with minor changes - app_label and abstract and it works!
But it duplicated huge chunk of code and DRY was lost :(

Hi, my hack is vulnerable to the file structure in which the extended model is defined. It works best in simple case when extended model is in the form: customapp.models.Cart, but if you have different structure you can avoid the validation error like above by inserting the correct app_label to extended model Meta options.

I believe this was solved in the circular import fix #125
