Using the plata.product.modules.options.Product model as default product #11

Hi,

Thanks for writing Plata!

For my needs right now your plata.product.modules.options.models.Product model seems right. However, getting django to see it is a pain.

What I'm currently doing is creating my own app and importing your models into its models.py: from plata.product.modules.options.models import *).

It would be nice if there was a way that didn't feel so kludgy. Do you have any recommendations?

Cheers,

Tom

Yeah, the app_label hackery is quite ugly. Adding plata.product.modules.options to INSTALLED_APPS would have worked, but that's ugly too.

The idea was to get rid of all default products, though, not add a default product back. We have shops with complex products (such as the options module, now at https://github.com/matthiask/plata-options-product ) and really simple products where the pricing scheme with validity periods, is_sale and is_active flags and the variations were complete overkill.

Because of this Plata v0.9 does not come with a default product anymore.

(Btw, plata-options-product absolutely isn't abandonware -- we'll be using it in the shop we'll develop in the coming weeks)

Thanks, Matthias
