Simple category app providing category and tag models.

Installation

  1. Install or add django-category to your Python path.

Usage

Enable categorization and/or tagging on a model by creating ManyToMany fields to the models provided by django-category, for example:

from django import models

class MyModel(models.Model):
    categories = models.ManyToManyField(
        'category.Category',
        help_text='Categorize this item.'
    )
    tags = models.ManyToManyField(
        'category.Tag',
        help_text='Tag this item.'
    )

Models
